I have a 950 XL and since i purchased it when it came out i also got a free display dock. Now i am certainly not the business user that Microsoft is targeting for the use of Continuum for phones. My work does not require me to use the internet/computers at all. I have a desktop and a laptop at home as well as a surface pro 2. Right now my dock is sitting on my desk collecting dust and ive only used it twice just to see how it works and that was months ago.
I want to put this thing to use and actually find a good use for it. I was hoping some people on here could provide me with suggestions. Or maybe explain how you used Continuum with your 950/950XL on a daily/weekly basis. Most people probably have one free of charge if they own a 950XL so what are you doing with yours?
I was thinking maybe set up a monitor/keyboard/mouse on my desk and use it to type out text messages with ease when i am home. But soon text messaging (SMS) will come to PCs and be integrated so that functionality will be of no use when RS1 comes. Right now its just a pain to unhook my monitor from my main PC, take out the USB dongles from the PC for keyboard and mouse and plug everything in just to use continuum. But if i can find a solid, practical use for hooking up my phone to those components maybe i can permanently set up a station with a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Right now i have a spare keyboard and mouse to use solely for Continuum but i would have to buy a monitor. Or possibly have a station set up downstairs so i can have PC access in the kitchen. As i said right now i have a full PC (windows 10 TH2) on my desktop upstairs in my room, next to that i have a laptop (windows 10 RS1 builds), and next to that i have a SP2 (windows 10 TH2). If i travel i always take my SP2 so there is no reason to carry around a keyboard/mouse and cables, and i wouldnt really have a use for it.
