Anyone gotten the DTEN Go/Mate yet?
The DTEN Go and Mate just came out and I got mine in yesterday. https://dten.com/go
It seems so far like a pretty great deal on a Zoom Rooms device. The main unit and Go tablet together are $1299, but they do also recommend getting the dock for the tablet for an additional $100. That's an amazing price for a Zoom Rooms appliance. Everything you need comes with it--the camera unit has Zoom Rooms guts in it just like the Neat Bar and Poly Studio, so you just plug it into a TV and it's good to go.
The things I don't like about it are that it doesn't have a speaker (unless I'm mistaken), and you need to either use a 3.5mm audio out jack in the back for an external speaker, or have a TV that supports audio over the HDMI cable to play through the TV speakers. Also, the tablet doesn't work like most Zoom Rooms tablets. It actually constantly mirrors what's on the TV, and it does this wirelessly. This is kinda cool because it means the tablet doesn't need a Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection--it connects to its Go unit on its own network. But it also means that the tablet is a bit slow--there's a lag between when you tap something and when it updates on screen. Typing text into chat is a painful experience. Hopefully a future update will improve this.
I mentioned the tablet doesn't use the standard Zoom Rooms interface--it actually instead uses the Zoom Rooms for Touch interface. Which you might be familiar with if you ever used Zoom Rooms on a touchscreen TV. I feel that it would be much better if it used the regular interface on the tablet, or at least gave the option to rather than forcing it to mirror the TV using Zoom Rooms Touch. The standard Zoom Rooms interface is much more user friendly. Maybe that will come with an update, who knows.
All things considered I feel it's a great deal for a hardened Zoom Rooms appliance, and it has worked for me well so far in two days of testing (despite the slowness and the no-speaker issue). I support Zoom Rooms at my company, and I will probably continue getting Neat Bars for my offices for the most part. But the Go seems a good option for office directors who balk at the $2500 pricetag and demand a cheaper option to put Zoom in their conference rooms. $1299 is much easier for some offices to swallow.
Very curious to know other people's thoughts, so please let me know if you got one already or are thinking about it.
