The new HP Elite X3 is like having a Windows 10 PC in your pocket

You can now buy the HP Elite X3 smartphone, which lets you connect to a keyboard, mouse, and computer monitor so you can use a light, "diet" version of the Windows 10 operating system (OS).

The Elite X3 is unlikely to tempt the regular smartphone buyer, as it runs the Windows 10 mobile OS, which has so far failed to gain traction due to the sheer lack of apps available in the Windows Store.

However, the Elite X3 is best suited for business professionals who value portability above all else and use Windows 10 for work, as well as some industry-standard productivity apps, like Microsoft Office.

Check out how the $700 Elite X3 turns into a basic, portable workstation when you need it.
