New startups are focusing on laptop-style transformation kits for devices
Trend - New companies are emerging with a focus on laptop-style transformation kits for portable devices. Compatible with mobile phones, handheld PCs, and other compact devices, these transformation kits offer full laptop-style functionality through wired or wireless connectivity options.

Insight - Many individuals who work from home enjoy travelling while working, such as to a local coffee shop or on a longer vacation. However, investing in a full-size laptop to work on-the-go is often out-of-reach or not convenient for workers. While thin-and-light laptops offer affordability and portability, these devices have limited usage outside of basic typing functionality. Brands are responding to the desire for affordable, portable workstations with lapdocks for mobile devices.
Workshop Question - How can brands further enhance the functionality of consumers' smartphones with larger-scale accessories?
