Microsoft event: Display Dock turns your Lumia 950 into a PC

Microsoft announced its long-rumored Lumia 950 and 950 XL yesterday, and with the new phones came the Display Dock, a hardware adapter that allows you to convert your phone into a PC.
The adapter lets you connect a monitor, keyboard and PC, and has three ports including a USB Type-C, HDMI and DisplayPort.

You must install the Continuum app on your phone to be able to use it, and the phone will power a Windows 10-esque operating system that runs universal Windows 10 apps rather than a full desktop experience.

Cute. I thought the whole point of Windows 10 was that you were going to be able to run the same OS across all your devices. It's ok, I never really believed it anyway. I took it the same way I would a campaign promise.
