Hands-On With the Rabbit R1

[View in web browser]( [CNET logo]( Insider Apr 30, 2024 A Week With the Rabbit R1 CNET’s mobile expert Lisa Eadicicco has been using the Rabbit R1 since its much-hyped release last week. And in that time, the reality of using the device has set in. “On the whole,” she writes, “the R1 feels like a work in progress and a bet on the future, rather than the AI revolution it’s been made out to be.” In her [full review of the device]( Eadicicco talks about what it’s actually like using the R1’s one-of-a-kind operating system, from getting it set up to using it as a tour guide during a day of sightseeing as well as using it for work. There were definitely some impressive elements, and its retro design was a major plus. But bugs, glitches and limitations definitely diminished some of the hype around the device.
