Connect with family when you are far apart!
Hop on over to BestBuy.com
where you can snag this Facebook Portal with Alexa in Black or White for only $79.99 shipped (regularly $199.99)! This is the BEST price we have seen!
This would make a nice gift for grandparents or other family members that live away.
This Portal device has a smart camera that follows you around the room keeping you in the frame and the smart sound focus’s on your voice to minimize extra noises around the room. If someone else comes in the room, the camera widens the lens to keep them all in view.
And if you aren’t using it, you can cover over the camera with the handy lens cover and then display photos or videos on it. The Portal is enabled with Alexa so you can set reminders, ask questions and control your smart devices!

Anyone have this? Looks like a great price, but is it worth it? Any feedback would help. 🤗
Like everything FB touches, proceed with extreme caution when it comes your privacy. Good article on Portal here.

It’s definately worth it. The quality is similar to an Apple product during the unboxing. The abilities are isanely robust and diverse. Works with Alexa, can show netflix and a web browser and the build quality is excpetional. It’s a futuristic heavy expensive quality device clearly once you handle it up close.
I love our portal! With grandparents living across the country this allows my son to see them every day! I love the way the camera follows our movements (important so I can keep the baby bouncing and moving). It does a great job of zooming in on faces too so my parents can see the little boy’s smiles. This is a great price! I highly recommend it!
That sounds pretty awesome! Thanks for letting us know, Sarah!
