Alexa is Coming To Windows 10 PCs From HP, ASUS and Others (engadget.com)

An anonymous reader shares a report: Amazon's Alexa recently arrived on headphones and even toilets, but it's about to become much more ubiquitous by hitting Windows 10 PCs later this year. HP, ASUS and Acer have revealed that the voice assistant is coming to various models, including ASUS's ZenBook and VivoBook lineup, the HP Pavilion Wave, and select Acer Spin, Swift, Switch and Aspire notebooks. Amazon will release a special Alexa app in the spring, and laptop builders are tapping Intel's Smart Sound tech to make sure that the app can pick up your voice when you're not right next to your PC. "Hands-free access to Alexa on PCs can be helpful to customers in many ways, like making it simple to interact with your smart home, get news or weather, set timers, and more," Amazon Alexa VP Steve Rabuchin said in a statement.

In two hours, an Amazon employee will use the Amazon Smartlock(TM) on your front door to enter your house, go to your bathroom, unlock the bathroom with the Amazon SmartBathroomLock, enter, replace the toilet roll on your toilet roll holder, dispose of the empty roll, and spray a deodorizing spray, all while you sit on the toilet and watch.

And it's all part of your Amazon Prime subscription.
