Through 3-Dec-2016, the HP Elite x3 w/ Desk Dock bundle is now just $599. HP Elite x3 and HP Elite x3 Desk Dock | HP? Official Store

Oh! That's great news! I just saw that the Anniversary Update also includes the ability to use Windows 10 (Anniversary Update) PCs as the display for the phone--so hopefully that's a good way to test our apps under this scenario. I suppose it is a great thing that Windows 10 is evolving so fast...

Here is the direct link to the $999 deal at the Microsoft Store...

For those of you who already received your lap dock: is the screen covered by glass (like most modern touchscreens on laptops)? Why do I ask? Because I noticed that the "future Continuum direction" video showed Continuum with touch screen support. I know that HP has not advertised...

Thanks for the link. That's an amazing deal. The holiday bundle was advertised on sale for around $150 more previously which was already a few hundred dollars savings. Microsoft breaks down the deal as follows: $499.50 for the phone and desk dock combo, and $499.50 for the lap dock. Plus a...

Well, yes. ;) What I was wondering is if you had a ScreenBeam Mini2 and tried plugging that into the HDMI port on the old projector. I know that's extra hardware (just like the wired dock)...I'm more just wondering if this could provide a workaround for you for the time being. Plus I kind of...

If you use Miracast instead of Continuum, can you use "casting" to display the presentation wirelessly to the big display? It would be great for Continuum to support a multi-monitor setup for a single app (like PowerPoint) so you could do this wired as well. Or for Windows 10 Mobile to at least...

Has anyone tried T-Mobile on a Single SIM unlocked Lumia 950? Not sure if this is a Dual SIM vs. Single SIM issue. Does this feature work on other non-carrier Windows phones? Single SIM or Dual SIM?

I'm using my Lumia 950 on an 802.11ac network, at 5GHz. Locked to the 5GHz network. Technically the router also supports 802.11a/g on that frequency--but I have no had no problems with the Lumia 950. Consumer brand router.

The restore image for Lumia 950 is supposed to be available next week as well. With a copy of the Windows Device Recovery Tool and you should be prepared.

I just installed Windows Insider on my Lumia 950 and it is now downloading "Insider Fast configuration update". Looks like Lumia 950 users are all set for next week's Windows Insider update.

I have a Microsoft keyboard/mouse combo which uses a proprietary 2.4 GHz wireless dongle. Works splendidly with my Lumia 950. Test results PASSED - plugged directly into phone using USB-C to USB-A adapter PASSED - plugged into wired Continuum dock PASSED - plugged into wireless Continuum dock...

These Dual SIM phones use a standby configuration, correct? So if you are using one SIM actively the other one is basically put into standby mode? Were you able to use T-Mobile data while seeing incoming phones/texts on AT&T previously? If you swap the two SIM cards, is your experience the same?

Has anyone tested a Single SIM Lumia 950 XL with AT&T yet, to see if VVM works? What is cost of an imported (to USA) Single SIM 950 XL?

I should mention that all my wireless Continuum tests were done by a battery-powered Lumia 950. I do not know if the wireless display feature is driven mostly by dedicated hardware or mostly by the CPU, but if the wireless display driver requires a lot of CPU then users of the 950 XL may...
