Continnum makes use of Qualcomm's ARM chip and Windows 10 universal apps to convert from a Windows mobile device to a personal computer, with responsive web pages and good user experience.
Continnum is one of Microsoft's products which acts as a mediator/Interface between a Windows mobile device and a PC. You can connect a Windows mobile device to a personal computer (PC) via HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) with a Bluetooth keyboard and a mouse.
