The speaker was pretty loud, though we want to test it in our own lab before making any conclusive statements. Lenovo claims that the Home Assistant’s two far-field microphones can hear you from up to 9.8 feet away. Depending on how you use Alexa, you may need a subscription to music streaming services (like Spotify), but this is the case for any smart assistant. The real curiosity is that Lenovo is pushing an assistant for just four tablets. Earlier this year, Lenovo announced its $129 Smart Assistant, a standalone Alexa speaker, though Lenovo’s website still lists it as “coming soon (opens in new tab).” Photo: Andrew E.
