Lenovo's Smart Speaker Marries Up Alexa Smarts and Hardon Karman Sounds

Voice-activated speakers like Amazon Echo and Google Home have become indispensable as smart assistants. Lenovo's first foray into the field aims to remedy that shortcoming. Its Smart Assistant houses Amazon's Alexa brains in hardware with Harman Kardon's audio-expert approval. These new devices manage to differentiate in both sound and style. What you gain over Amazon's hardware offering, though, is an upgraded design and presumably hardier soundscapes.
