Walking over to a laptop, or pc, or phone takes more action and effort than just talking.
Even with Okay Google, there is still some interaction beyond talking that's required to complete the task at hand.
If Amazon has really got the software and interface kinks worked out to allow me to simply speak and get the results i'm after, then they're really on to something huge here....
The music aspect of it alone is appealing to me... I can't tell you how many times my daughter wants me to play some music and even with Okay Google and Google Play music, it can be a PITA to get something cue'd up that's both entertaining and age appropriate and actually pull it off.
If the sound quality is as good as they're touting, this is a perfect little device to sit in the dining room or kitchen or even living room. .
