What is an android PC? Is that like a boat car?
All phones are PCs, this is just connecting external displays.
The shock is that it couldn't already.
It's more than just that, it's too slow a desktop OS like environment that's more suited for mouse and keyboard too. It's not just your phone screen on a bigger screen.
I guess the point is that phone hardware has been powerful enough to do it for a while. It's surprising that no big companies other than Samsung really put any effort into making it work software wise.
Nah it's more like a toaster fridge
