The definition of the personal computer seems a very nuanced when Microsoft shows during the event of 6 October its mode Continuum. Just connect your smartphone to an accessory that is connected to a display because the smartphone turns into a tool damn similar to a personal computer. It does not support Win32 application’s standards. It is true, but you can access, mouse and keyboard in hand, to a real desktop with applications optimized for conventional monitors.
The hint at that in New York, is that you are admiring the future. What makes it all possible is a small accessory, Microsoft Display Dock, with a bevy of doors and an unspecified hardware that allows not only to use the smartphone with the mouse, keyboard and monitor dedicated, but also access to all its functions as if they were two completely separate systems.
