A new Show Mode feature from Amazon is now rolling out to some Lenovo laptops. When you activate this, it will change your home screen to look like the home screen of an Echo Show smart display, in a similar fashion to the Show Mode feature on Amazon’s tablets. That means you’ll be able to do smart display things like controlling smart home devices, glancing at the weather and news headlines, and chatting with Alexa you know, the kind of stuff you’ve always wished you could do on your ThinkPad.
The feature is currently rolling out to Yoga, ThinkPad, and IdeaPad PCs that have Alexa built in, and it’s available in the US, UK, Germany, Japan, India, Ireland, Australia, Canada, France, Italy, Spain, Australia, and New Zealand. Lenovo says it’s coming to more Alexa-enabled PCs later this year.
Alexa Show Mode debuts, turns Windows 10 PCs into Echo Show-like displays

The news: Amazon on Tuesday unveiled Alexa Show Mode, which turns select Lenovo Windows 10 PCs into Echo Show-like displays. The feature was first unveiled at CES earlier this year and is activated by saying “Alexa, open Show Mode,” or by clicking on the Show Mode button on the Alexa app. It’s part of Amazon’s push to get its Alexa voice technology everywhere, and an expansion of Alexa for PC. It also further signals the fading consumer relevance of Microsoft’s own voice assistant, Cortana. Amazon in March released an “Alexa for Xbox” app.
