Youll be sorely missed, sweet prince.
Id guess you have two questions now.
The first is something like whats the Lenovo Smart Display?
The second is probably in the vein of my god, man, grow up.
Youre sad about a bit of lifeless tech breaking?
Get out of here.
I shall answer these in turn.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Unsurprisingly, its a smart display.
It has a screen (obviously), Google Assistant, and Chromecast streaming support.
And that, friends, is the Lenovo Smart Display in a nutshell.
Now comes the part about why Im pouring one out for this lifeless rectangle of metal and plastic.
Over the past two years, the Lenovo Smart Display has become an integral part of my household.
In that time its become an incredibly useful companion.
I use, sorry,usedit for checking the weather, setting timers, and answering questions.
Before the smart display, I was suspicious of voice-activated assistants.
Now its gone, its like missing a limb.
That element of it I think I could get used to.
But theres something else Im struggling to let go of: the photography frame feature.
And this has been revolutionary.
Until I owned the smart display, thousands upon thousands of my photos just sat on my phone.
I rarely looked at them, they simply existed.
But the Lenovo Smart Display brought them to life.
Each day, some of those pictures would bring a smile to my face.
So yeah, thats why Im sad the Lenovo Smart Display broke.
To conclude this piece, theres one more question: whats next?
Well, to be honest, Im not sure.
Lenovo has releasedthe new Smart Display 7, whilethe Google Nest Hubis also a fine piece of technology.
And then theres always the option of switching to Alexa andthe upcoming Echo Show 10.
Ill make the decision about whats next soon, but until then?
Well, you might find me mourning for my original Lenovo Smart Display.
May god have mercy on your soul.
