      There were couple series of: full lcd screen, bt connected to smartphone for notifications and a speaker versions. Plus the rechargeable battery and usb c charging port (obviously).
      It was selling about 35 bucks.
      Forgot the game one: had controller buttons and 3 games: pacman, tetris and a lying shooter inbuilt. With full lcd and speaker. (Thus wasnt bt connected tho) Price was similar.

      Yes, where “process” means measuring instantaneous changes in airflow as the user inhales (or doesn’t), and regulating a heating coil accordingly by running actual program code - which requires a controller to run it and memory to store it in. I mean when you click “Reply” on this page all it has to do is process one button, but that involves a lot.
