1. A display assistant device comprising:
a base configured for sitting on a surface, the base having a front side, a rear side that is taller than the front side and that extends upward toward a central axis of the display assistant device, and a bottom surface that is substantially planar, where the bottom surface has a base length and a base width that is less than the base length, the base width corresponding to a distance between the front side and the rear side;
a screen having a rear surface, the screen being supported by the front side and the rear side of the base at the rear surface such that the screen is oriented closer to perpendicular than parallel to the bottom surface, the base being substantially hidden behind the screen when the display assistant device is viewed from a front view of the display assistant device, the front view of the display assistant device being along an axis parallel to the bottom surface;
a rear speaker that is concealed inside the base, the rear speaker facing, and being oriented to project sound towards, the rear side of the base; and
a front speaker that is concealed inside the base and that opposes the rear speaker, the front speaker being oriented to project sound directly outward from a face of the front speaker through a grill portion of the front side of the base that is not hidden behind the screen when the display assistant device is viewed from the front view of the display assistant device.
