FORGET the Amazon Echo. The Alexa virtual assistant is no longer confined to smart speakers, and has made its way into a laptop.

Chinese tech firm Lenovo has debuted three new notebooks that feature Amazon's voice-controlled Alexa digital helper, and we've got all the details.

The new laptops were announced at this week's annual MWC tech show in Barcelona, and come powered by artificial intelligence.

Amazon's Echo speakers work by having a user (i.e. you) ask about something with your voice. For instance, you can ask about the news or weather, or task Alexa with setting a timer or alarm.

Alexa even works with some third-party services, so you can get her to arrange an Uber taxi pick-up or place an order for a Domino's pizza.

This technology has now been ported onto three new Lenovo laptops that use far-field microphones to pick up your voice for Alexa.

All three models have the feature – and boast 2-in-1 laptop/tablet hybrid designs, to boot – so here's a quick guide:

Lenovo Yoga 530 – This more budget-friendly 14-inch option boasts a 10-hour battery life, 16 gigabytes of memory (for fluid performance when you're using lots of apps at once), and a new 8th-generation Intel processor.

Lenovo Yoga 730 – This new device has been split into two options: a 13-inch model, and a potentially more powerful 15-inch version. By "potentially", we mean that the bigger Yoga laptop can be upgraded with Nvidia's powerful GTX GeForce 1050 graphics card, which will let you play PC games in very high quality – and even power a virtual reality headset like the HTC Vive or Facebook's Oculus Rift.

All three models will be available in April this year. UK pricing isn't available just yet, but we've got American price tags (which may be similar to the Pound Sterling value, too):

Yoga 530 – $549

Yoga 730 (13") – $879

Yoga 730 (15") – $899

Given that having Alexa on a laptop is such a rare thing right now, these new notebooks will be seriously tempting for gadget enthusiasts looking to take advantage of the super-smart Amazon Assistant.

However, if you're just looking to try out Alexa, you're probably better off just buying one of Amazon's smart speakers.
