TL;DR
  • NexDock has launched its 6th-generation lapdock for $229.
  • It’s a PC shell that’s designed to run Samsung DeX, Android desktop modes, Windows, Linux, and handheld PCs.
  • You get a screen, keyboard, trackpad, battery, speakers, and ports, while your phone or device handles everything else.
  • The upgraded NexDock includes a brighter 14-inch 16:10 touchscreen and a vastly improved trackpad.

If the name NexDock doesn’t ring a bell, we don’t blame you. The company has been quietly making “lapdocks” — laptop shells that turn your phone or handheld device into a full desktop — for nearly a decade. Now, NexDock is hoping to put itself back on the map with its 6th-generation NexDock, which is officially in stock and shipping worldwide.
