There’s an even cheaper way to have the
Google Assistant by your bedside – the Smart Clock Essential from Lenovo costs
just € 60/Us$ 50 and will be available next month. It has a simple, easy to read
LED display that shows the time, ambient temperature and the weather forecast.
A night light is built-in into the clock, which is great if you need to get up
in the middle of the night.
The smart functions are accessible through
voice commands – the assistant can control over 40,000 smart home devices. You
can also ask it to play you some music using the 3 W speaker. Last but not
least is the option to plug your phone into the USB port on the back for a
nightly charge.
