Amazon is putting its Alexa assistant into everything these days.
The Seattle-based company started with TV-streaming boxes and standalone Echo speakers. Now, Alexa is having into more gadgets and computers - even those of companies not named Amazon.
Within the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas this week, several Windows PC manufacturers announced new computers coming this holiday season that will support Amazon's voice assistant, Alexa, hands-free, rather like how you'd interact with an Amazon Echo.
Property, Amazon struck a special offer with Microsoft may well let Alexa and Microsoft's Cortana voice assistant "talk to every one other" on Windows 10 PCs, but an Amazon representative said these new Alexa integrations were unrelated.
HP announced its spaceship-like Pavilion Wave PC would support Alexa, while Acer said the voice assistant would launch on "select Aspire, Spin, Switch and Swift notebooks, combined with Aspire all-in-one PCs ranging from Q1 2018." Asus says a portion of its Zenbook and Vivobook laptops would also support Alexa.
These new PCs - like those who work in Acer's lineup - include special hardware that would let Alexa improve with commands more rapidly and hear you best over loud music, similar to Amazon's Echo devices. But all will use a new Alexa app for Windows 10 that's expected later the year 2010.
While it's unclear exactly how many customers should be enticed by these Windows PCs, Amazon is generally happy about having HP, Acer, and Asus arrange to supporting Alexa. Though Google and Apple are expanding their voice assistants, Amazon has maintained its lead by getting Alexa into quite as much hardware that they can.
You can now find Alexa on countless devices - even lightbulbs, ovens, and vacuum - but its on the way to Windows 10 PCs is a wide deal, considering total number of people use and make use of Windows PCs regularly. These particular PCs may very well expose much more to Alexa, which only helps Amazon bring people into its ecosystem.
