What if you could instantly turn a laptop into a big-screen desktop PC? With Samsung’s Central Station displays, it’s no fantasy. They’re not just monitors–they also pack USB 3.0 ports for hooking up peripherals and Ethernet for attaching to the network. Everything works with your notebook wirelessly, via a small adapter that goes into one of the computer’s USB ports. Add a wireless keyboard and mouse, and you can use your laptop like a desktop without hooking up anything but a power cable.
