The Echo Dot comes with Alexa onboard and can do a bunch of cool things. Just like any other smart assistant, Alexa can tell jokes, play music, answer questions, play the news, check the weather, set alarms, and more.

You can use the Echo Dot to control other smart gadgets in your house - use voice commands to turn on lights, adjust thermostats, and lock doors, for example. There’s an option to trade in your old Echo device and save another 25%, so looks like Amazon really wants you to have the latest Dot. Why fight it?
