Lenovo Smart Clock Essential with Alexa
Lenovo will be presenting a new Smart Clock Essential at the CES technology fair in the US. The Essential is a simpler and cheaper variant of the Smart Clock 2 that the company released in June. It is striking that this clock works with Alexa instead of the Google Assistant. Unlike Assistant, Alexa does not yet work with Dutch.
The Smart Clock Essential with Alexa comes without a touchscreen and instead has a regular LCD screen. Of course you can see the time on it, but you also see your alarm clocks, the weather forecast or the title of a song that is being played. The device works with 3W speakers.
The new clock has a fabric-finish housing and physical buttons. You can use it to set an alarm or adjust the volume. There is also again a USB port with which you can charge your phone. You can electronically disable Alexa’s listening ears with the slider.

Lenovo is also releasing a new Ambient Light Dock that works as a night lamp and shines colored light. There are eight different light modes and you can ask Alexa to adjust the light.
¨Prices and Availability
The Lenovo Smart Clock Essential with Alexa will come to Europe in April and it will cost 69.99 euros. He appears in a Misty Blue and Clay Red color. The Ambient Light Dock will soon be yours for 29.99 euros.
