    Millimetres?

    This machine packs a 16.1-inch display, with bezels bordering the thing just 4.9 inches in depth.

      And the TVs are 'available in 65-inch, 55-inch, and 5-inch variants'.

      Please, just convert everything to fractions of a diplodocus.

        I'm hoping that last one is a typo. An 8K compatible 5" screen? That's a serious pixel density.

    The girl in the picture knows more than she is letting on...

    Apple were there first - https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01/19/apple_colgate_ai_toothbrush/

    And the same girl in the same picture was similarly surprised! You'd think she'd be used to it by now.

        Would that be the exploding Colgate toothbrush? e.g. https://www.thestar.com/life/health_wellness/2011/11/03/colgate_issues_recall_over_exploding_toothbrushes.html

    I used to use an Oral electric toothbrush which was big, clunky and needed recharging every week. I bought myself a Xiaomi SoWhite (I know) which has the same diameter as the 18650 battery that drives it and only needs recharging once a month.

    The Oral cost about 40 quid, the Xiaomi was a tenner.

    I hate lifestyle. If I own a phone that I like I have no desire to buy a branded mug or t-shirt, much less a toothbrush.

    What's next? El Reg branded Bootcamp boots for programmers?

      That would be so cool - DMs with the El Reg vulture moulded into the tread.
