The Rabbit R1, a new handheld 'AI' gadget, has garnered excitement and confusion since its announcement, with some touting it as a potential iPhone killer.

He has also praised the accompanying Perplexity Pro service, which provides fast and precise answers using a Large Language Model. Trevor looks forward to testing the Rabbit R1 and determining whether it lives up to its potential as a game-changing device or is merely a gimmick.
