Microsoft has been revealing a lot of new products and services lately, and one that has flown under the radar but is hugely worthy of mention is this Display Dock. This contraption can essentially take your Windows 10 phone and convert into a makeshift computer.
The Display Dock allows you to plug in a regular 1080p monitor -- via HDMI or DisplayPort -- and up to three USB peripherals in order to run universal apps on the desktop format. This makes it possible for you to create desktop-inspired taskbars and also makes it easier to switch between tasks.
Ultimately, Microsoft's Display Dock is just one manifestation of the company's mission to prove that Windows 10 universal apps can allow for experiences that you simply cannot enjoy on any rival platforms.
