Lenovo Smart Display review: The best home for Google Assistant so far

The Lenovo Smart Display gives Google Assistant a face and, well, it's kind of beautiful. As promised at CES and then again at Google I/O, Lenovo is finally rolling out the first Google Assistant device with a display, delivering a fresh new spin on the smart home speaker. While Amazon has been selling its Echo Show for more than a year (and the smaller Echo Spot for about half as long), Google has taken its time with building its visual Assistant. We've seen glimpses of it on our phones, cars, and TVs (using Chromecast for the last), but Google Assistant on the Lenovo Smart Display isn't just a cobbling together of Assistant's existing screen appearances. It's an entirely new interface that adds a deep new dimension to Assistant, at once showing the limitation of voice and opening up Google's AI to far more possibilities.
