In addition to the handset, HP is also introducing a few peripherals to turn the Elite x3 into a productivity device with the help of Microsoft Windows Continuum- HP Mobile Extender, HP Desk Dock and HP Display.

The HP Mobile Extender looks like a very slim laptop but it’s just basically a 12.5-inch display and keyboard with USB Type-C ports, micro HDMI, headphone jack and 4-cell battery. Using Continuum, it uses the Elite x3 hardware for its processing needs, turning it into an on-the-go laptop.

The HP Desk Dock, as its name suggests, works in tandem with the HP display. It works like Microsoft’s Display Dock and features an Ethernet port, regular USB and USB Type-C ports. From there it can be connected to the HP Display and external keyboard for productivity purposes.

The HP Elite x3 is expected to be available this summer. Price is yet to be announced.
