At Microsoft's Surface Pro 4 event Tuesday, the company announced a new gadget alongside the Lumia 950: the Microsoft Display Dock.
With this device, you can use your Windows 10 phone as a PC. It has an HDMI and DisplayPort, as well as three USB ports for accessories.

Plug your phone into your desktop, and use the keyboard and mouse to control your Windows 10 universal apps on the computer screen. There's a task bar and task switcher so you can easily switch apps. Access your mail or even edit a PowerPoint on your computer screen like you would on a PC, all while your phone is driving the whole operation. Keyboard shortcuts still work on the PC, too. You can copy and paste like you normally would, and you'll see the results on your phone.
Keep in mind each experience is independent and uninterrupted. While you're continuing your desktop experience, you can still navigate your phone as per usual — go back to the start menu and open up another app.
It also doesn't matter what screen size you're on. You can switch your apps from desktop back to phone smoothly and easily.
Pricing and a release date have yet to be announced.
Hands on with Microsoft Surface Book, Surface Pro 4 and Lumia 950
