It’s an interesting proposition, one I’m more than willing to chew on. Tonight would be my first time in an e-Tron, Audi’s new fully electric SUV, and my first taste of what Audi calls the future of mobility, one with entertainment content at its center. While the in-seat back massage made me wish the ride was longer, I also couldn’t wait to get there. It had been a long day, but I could still barely contain my excitement as a fancy car whizzed me down the interstate to a race track on the outskirts of Las Vegas, one chilly evening before the start of the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show. Definitely worth looking into as it’s one of the first smart hub devices that’s designed specifically to change your bedside alarm clock experience. Lenovo’s Smart Clock is launching this spring and it will retail for US$ 80. Plus, it’s an incredibly reactive machine for example, the screen brightness automatically changes depending on lighting. There’s also the mute button which stops the clock from listening for commands. This clock is designed to be completely unobtrusive but impactful. Because it’s designed for the bedroom, the Lenovo Smart Clock has no cameras for optimum user privacy. All this from, presumably, the comfort of your room. You can, for example, just ask the Smart Clock to show you security camera views, open smart locks in your home, or even adjust air conditioning in your house. You can even connect your smart appliances and have coffee brewed the moment your alarm is set off.Īny compatible smart home device will work with it. This means you need not look at your phone to check the weather or your schedule - the Smart Clock will literally tell you.

You can snooze your alarm via voice command and double tapping on the clock sets off a morning routine. Alarms are easily personalized and it has a gentle alarm function that connects to your smart lighting system and recreates a sunrise experience. Waking up with the Lenovo Smart Clock is a whole new experience. There are volume buttons up top and on its back, the power port, a mute toggle, and a USB port for your smartphone charging needs. The body is wrapped in a neutral gray fabric that would probably fit your bedroom interior. It looks like a sleek bedside table clock with a 4-inch touchscreen. At CES 2019, Lenovo announced the Smart Clock - a Google Assistant-powered device.
