For the geek inside of you? I think this is even for non geeks. Geek or no geek, weather and news can be enjoyed by anyone, plus one can avoid the morning news anchor's fake enthusiasm :)

Pros -

1. Easy to use and will look neat in the house
2. Get the weather while you're gettinf ready, no need to check phone or shout 'alexa'
3. Easy to read news

Cons none
