This Tuesday, in his column
The innovation of the day,
Anicet Mbida presents the new product launched by the start-up Leef: a box capable of transforming his smartphone into a laptop PC.
The young company indeed had the idea of creating a laptop computer completely powered by a telephone.
In other words, there is only one shell with the keyboard, the screen and a battery.
No memory therefore, no microprocessor or software ... since it is those of the telephone that will control everything.
It's like plugging your phone into a keyboard and an external screen, built into the shell of a laptop.

What interest if the applications do not adapt to both types of devices?
Right now, many phone applications are adapting.
Most of the latest Android devices have a special, hidden mode that turns mobile apps into desktop apps, which can be controlled with the keyboard and mouse.
We therefore find a "start" menu, a file manager, Outlook, Word, the Chrome browser ... All in windows that can be moved as desired.
It is even possible to "drag and drop" like on desktops.
With a huge advantage: there is nothing to configure, synchronize or transfer, since it is your phone that controls everything.

What is the price of such a case?
As there is no microprocessor or memory, prices do not soar and it is possible to have a laptop for less than 300 euros.
We use a lot of similar applications between our phone and our computer.
This solution therefore makes it possible to combine the two in one, simply with different boxes.
