Meh, I don't want Alexa on my Fire since I have an Echo in the same room.

That's why they have an option that does just that.

It's apparently less powerful than the current FireTV

On the other hand, the built in IR blaster and Alexa kind of kills off the need for a Harmony Hub for my most common use case

Less powerful than the current gen, but more powerful than the Stick. I'm sure it'll be fine.


Leaked benchmarks have it slightly more powerful than the second gen stick but still behind the first gen FireTV. No thanks

If you are referring to the benchmark in the AFTVNews article, those numbers refer to some new mid-tier model. I would be extremely surprised if the new Echo Dot-style top tier model isn't faster than all of them.

That's the model we were talking about
