As work becomes more and more global, video conferencing has gone from science fiction to a staple of the modern business world. Lenovo has a way to make that smoother with the ThinkSmart View, a touchscreen video conferencing system to make video chats smoother with Microsoft Teams integration.
It has speakers and built in microphones to make calls clearer, plus Lenovo included a privacy shutter and mute switch for those times when you don’t want your coworkers listening to you chat with your kids between calls. Sure, that sounds funny, but you’ve never accidentally told a business colleague you love them because your kid was home on a snow day…
The base ThinkSmart View is $349.99, but there’s also a $449.99 bundle that includes a pair of ThinkPad noise-canceling headphones, which saves you $50 over buying both products separately. Look for the ThinkSmart View in January 2020.
