Lenovo Smart Clock tailors Google Assistant for your nightstand

The Lenovo Smart Clock is a pared-down version of the Lenovo Smart Display. It still has Google Assistant, but its main purpose is to help you wake up and start your day.

The clock's display will show you basic time, weather and news information, but that's about it. It won't show you photos or play video like the full-sized Lenovo Smart Display, which came out in 2018.

It does have a touchscreen, and you can play music on it. You can also whack it to mute a wake-up alarm. That will stop the alarm, but once you dismiss the alarm it will execute your Good Morning routine.

The clock can give you a rundown of your daily schedule.

And basic traffic information.

A USB port lets you plug in a cord to charge another device.

Its small footprint makes it well suited to a nightstand. It will cost $80 when it goes on sale this spring.
