Lenovo’s Smart Clock Essential features animated Alexa responses at $50 (Save $20)

Amazon is now offering the Lenovo Smart Clock Essential with Alexa for $49.99 shipped. Down from the usual $70 price tag you’d more regularly pay, today’s offer marks only the third notable discount to date. Matching the second-best price cut yet, this comes within $5 of the all-time low. Having just launched at the beginning of the year at CES, the newly-refreshed Lenovo Smart Clock Essential now comes with Alexa at the center of the smart experience. Allowing you to summon Amazon’s voice assistant for smart home control and more, this nightstand upgrade also doubles as an alarm clock thanks to a built-in screen. Not to mention the extra flare of newfound animations that give Alexa more personality. Our launch coverage details everything else you need to know, as well.

While the lead deal is about as good of a value as you’ll find for a screen-based Alexa experience, the 3rd Gen Echo Dot will let you make out for less. Sure, it might not be as notable of a nightstand companion as the lead deal, but will let you summon Alexa much the same with a more affordable $30 price tag attached.

This morning notably also saw Nanoleaf’s new modular Lines HomeKit lights go on sale for one of the first times at $180 alongside a series of its other panels from $60. Though if your setup could use some other form of upgrade, be it of the Siri, Alexa, or Assistant variety, our smart home guide is packed with plenty of discounts.
