HP, Lenovo, Asus and Acer are leading Windows 10 PC manufacturers and all have plans to support Alexa in their laptops and desktops. Those machines will all arrive this year, meaning new devices will have Alexa and Microsoft’s Cortana on board. It is worth noting Cortana will remain the default assistant experience on the platform. To use Alexa, users will need to download a specific application from the Windows Store. That app will be launched in the spring, giving us an idea of when the first Alexa-supporting laptops and desktops will arrive.
