Lenovo ThinkSmart View ZA690000US Video Conference Equipment - Full HD - Wireless LAN

This thing is great! Could you buy a tablet for less, sure. But this is not a tablet. It is a video conference device. Good video and audio quality. It runs Teams and only Teams. That's not a limitation, that's the purpose. Our church wanted to run hybrid Sunday School due to COVID. Rather than try to manage computers and teach Sunday School teachers how to use them I just dropped this into the classroom and with the touch of a button on the screen they are in the meeting. Absolutely brilliant. The software updates, etc. can be managed through the Teams Admin counsel making them easy to deploy. Well done.

I purchased the device based on the advertisement saying it is running Android 8.1. Do not buy this, it will not run Android. Also it cannot be used without entering an email address and personal information. There is no option to use the unit anonymously. Item is well packaged and seems to be well made, but I have no idea why they sell it or what it is supposed to do. One star for misleading ad, for requiring personal information in order to turn on the unit, and for not being able to do anything useful. Do not purchase this.

I'm using this Lenovo ThinkSmart View as an always-on Home Assistant dashboard (flashed with LineageOS). It's an absolutely wonderful device. Will purchase more to have at least one on each level of the house.

As someone who relies heavily on virtual meetings for work, I recently invested in the Lenovo video conference device specifically designed for Microsoft Teams, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The setup process was a breeze, and within minutes, I was seamlessly connected to my Teams meetings with crystal-clear audio and video quality. The device's wide-angle camera captures everyone in the room without any distortion, ensuring that every participant is clearly visible. The integrated microphone array effectively picks up voices from all directions, eliminating the need for additional audio equipment. Plus, the intuitive touchscreen interface makes it easy to navigate through Teams features and controls. Overall, this Lenovo video conference device has greatly enhanced my virtual meeting experience, providing reliability, convenience, and exceptional performance that I can count on every time. Sometimes video goes out from sending parties, or the device just crashes. I think that as teams updates often, and the phone updates itself often, the reliability I give it is just 4 stars. I think this will be obsolete in the next 2 years or so with all the new features Microsoft has.

This is an interesting product. There is no review and hardly any documentation. The capabilities of this device are limited to viewing the TEAMS. It is not clear how TEAMS enhancements are going to flow down (or not) to this device. Technically you can get a cheaper Android tablet and have all of the features this device offers and a clear path for upgrades. Perhaps Lenovo should provide feedback here in terms of upgrade and features of this device.

Excellent device if you use a custom ROM. Using five of these around the house running Home Assistant. Lots of work to get them working but worth it.

Co-workers report an echo when connected to meeting. Network is fine as any other device works. After adding headphones to resolve echo, I appear upside down in video. Too many bugs to recomend.

Nice Product and build quality and nice type of product and usefulness looked great for business! But this is an older product maybe it will come back in another version or versions. Thank You Lenovo, for your past products. so not much of a review but fun to buy and see and dream of old products. This one can be rotated 90 degrees. And I think there is this version that works with Microsoft Teams Business, or organization needed. And there is a Google version. And this item was just fun.

Se le pueden poner diversas ROM customizadas, hay un proyecto de instalar Linux y diversas modificaciones

Es un producto para uso exclusivamente empresarial con Microsoft Teams. El hardware es bueno aunque limitado en cuanto a ram, sin embargo, suficiente para el sistema operativo que corre. La bocina es muy buena y la cámara aceptable. Solo puede correr Microsoft Teams y la versión es muy limitada comparada con la app de Google Play, por eso las 3 estrellas. Cumple con su función. La relación calidad/precio es muy buena.
