Alexa coming to certain new Windows PCs this year

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, as well as Aspire all-in-one PCs starting from Q1 2018." Asus says some of its Zenbook and Vivobook laptops will also support Alexa.

Some of these new PCs — like those in Acer's lineup — will come with special hardware that will let Alexa respond to commands more quickly and hear you better over loud music, similar to Amazon's Echo devices. But they all will use a new Alexa app for Windows 10 that's expected later this year.

I wonder how useful this will be.
