Windows 10 Continuum a Case for getting rid of that Laptop

Continuum experience that switches the phone into PC mode.

-  Use the phone as a track-pad to control the cursor on the connected screen
-  Gesture to move an app from the phone screen to the big screen and back (reminds of Minority Report :) )
- Universal Apps will provide better exp.  as those are screen aware
- Continuum for Phones uses Miracast for wireless connectivity
- Would have a Docking station dock that lets you plug in a monitor and use wire / Bluetooth for USB keyboard and mouse

Most of the users who today carries a Smart Phone and a Laptop. This once ready for Prime time will throw in interesting use cases, which will allow people to get rid of that laptop they tug along .
Computing / Memory power of Phones are increasing by day with Continuum available at least some of the enterprise users who depend on apps for there work will not need a second device. Along with that a VDI made available via phone and projected on a big screen will take away the challenge of using desktop on a Small screen .
