Microsoft has unchangingly been that kid in school that no-one seems to play with. He’s there but his social ineligibility makes it nonflexible to understand. This was the trend but it might transpiration with their recent announcement. Microsoft intends to requite you the power to turn your smartphone into a desktop computer.

 

Micro USB is the current standard for smartphones (all phones not Apple), however, USB type C cables is set to replace Micro USB in rhadamanthine the standard for charging and connecting our smartphones to and from other devices.

 

Microsoft’s latest smartphones, the Lumia 950 and 950XL will both have a USB-C port. To turn your Lumia 950(XL) into a desktop computer, all you need a monitor, mouse, keyboard and Microsoft Display Dock. This dock will indulge you to connect your Lumia to HDMI, DVI and USB – which allows you to connect to most computer peripherals.

When running like a computer, your monitor will show what you’d normally see in a Windows 10 computer. It won’t however, run full desktop programs and will instead scale up your mobile apps. I believe this may transpiration in the future one day but in the meantime, it still is a very interesting proposition.

 

For businesses and individuals who use a desktop but don’t need a powerful one for graphics diamond or gaming, this make sense. What this technology ways is that you will be worldly-wise plug your phone into the dock and the phone becomes an instant computer and when you want to leave or go to flipside room, simply unplug it like you once do when you tuition your phone.

 

USB type C may be the ultimate standard with many speculating that there is a chance USB type C will replace Apple’s lightning cable. With Apple’s lightning cable currently a large part of Apple’s ecosystem, there will be many who may be unhappy if this speculation were to wilt true. Time will tell what the future holds for the USB type C standard.
