Can This Phone Replace Your PC? #Helpful Post

I'm getting Dumber as this unboxing goes

further on hey guys it's Austin and this

is a phone or is it a computer so this

is the HP Elite x3 if you guys saw my

cool phones of 2016 video I did this is

one of the phones that was really

excited to check out however it has

taken a long time to actually go on sale

might be the biggest phone box of all

time actually why is this so big so this

is a Windows 10 phone however instead of

just being an ordinary Windows Phone so

first of all we have the actual HP elite

extra itself and as you can see this is

a very big phone they also have the dock

which is really heavy what's so this is

a USBC dock so what you do is you drop

your phone on this guy so round back we

have USB type-c a couple of USB 3 ports

a full-size DisplayPort and Ethernet the

idea is is that this is a phone that you

take around all day of course it does

all the normal phone things when you get

home you drop it on the dock and it

essentially replaces your computer so

something interesting is in addition to

this dock there's also an option that is

essentially turns this phone into a

laptop they're actually doing some

really cool stuff here which is

interesting given that Windows Phone is

maybe not the most popular that's ever

been so fair warning on this guy it does

not come cheap although it does come

with some very stylish new buttons now

continuing on because I've got

imaginative yeah it's a couple things

left a pile of paperwork on the dock

which apparently they gave me two of

everything in case I was unsure of how

to use a dock what else is in here so we

have a dock for the dock oh why there's

these are the exact same except one has

a larger cut out how dare you there's

another one this is the same oh where it

says on the inside there's an answer so

this is for the phone this is for the

phone with a case and this is for the

phone with a flip cover case I totally

didn't need to read the instructions to

find that out and we also have a

mysterious black box here I swear if

this is gonna be another adapter for the

stupid dock

it's another doctor now it's time for

the real test does this crazy doc

actually work so right now I have it

plugged in so it's powering the phone

however I want to actually see what we

can do here so first of all we have a

keyboard and plug this right into the

back of it I also have a mouse actually

I'm curious can I use keyboard and mouse

without anything else oh I have a cursor

all right guys that's kind of cool the

scroll wheel works edge this is the

world's weirdest desktop ever so

everything's plugged into the dock now

if I dropped the phone on I see a

welcome screen I don't know do I hello

alright so now my mouth is on the

display okay so now if I want the phone

is a touchpad so even though this is a

Windows 10 device it does not actually

run full Windows 10 it's still running

the phone Edition so not all apps are

going to work so we've got the full

desktop version of YouTube can you

actually watch a video like this yeah

there we go

you almost feels like I'm using like a

Chromebook or something it's a little

bit slower than like a proper computer

but it works I mean you know scrolling

is fairly smooth there's a maybe a touch

of latency but really I mean for normal

sort of like web browsing it seems to be

fine soon less we can do here so even

though this is not a full Windows 10

device you can still do some cool stuff

hey guys this is Austin that totally

works

I could actually see something like word

being a really solid use of this right

so if you don't wanna travel with a lot

of extra gear and while the apps are not

quite as well full-featured as I would

like movie star basic stuff like web

browsing and we can go through an alt

tab and the idea of using one device to

do everything in your life is really

cool I see a lot of potential in

something like this in a few years as

things get more and more polished but

for today it's not quite there don't

judge me
