The digital assistants are all making their way to your PC. Amazon has met with Lenovo to talk about putting Alexa on PCs. CNET Update looks at the trend and what it means for the future of Alexa. With PC shipments on the decline, it's no surprise Lenovo would want Alexa on its machines. Lenovo is trying other tricks to keep laptops fresh for consumers -- even replacing the keyboard with a touchscreen in the new Yoga Book.

does this mean there soon could be a skill to have a cat fight between alexa and cortana? One thing, I hope it works with linux. I am a cord cutter and have pcs hooked up to my tvs, It would be great to tell alexa to go to my streaming source instead of using a keyboard.
