Essentially, for $250 you can get the 8-inch JBL Link View with its better audio, or for the same price you can get the Lenovo with its bigger 10-inch screen. A third option is to get the 8-inch Lenovo for $50 cheaper.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the differences in audio quality and screen sizes, both the JBL and the Lenovo devices feature the same smart display software. Thus, your experience with each device will largely be the same. Of note, the Lenovo does allow\u00a0you to place the device on its side to support a portrait mode for video chatting.<\/p>\n<h2>Which Smart Display device will you choose?<\/h2>\n<p>Are you going to buy a smart display from JBL or Lenovo?
