Lenovo Smart Clock Essential

Engadget Review
At its core, the Lenovo Smart Clock Essential is simply a Google-powered smart speaker with a built-in alarm clock. It’s easy enough to operate and there’s even a nightlight on the back. You can adjust its various settings using your voice. It does lack a lot of the features of the original, but if all you want is an ordinary-looking alarm clock with some basic smarts for not a lot of money, then the Smart Clock Essential is not a bad option.
It's not quite as useful as the original, but it's still a decent Google-powered alarm clock.
