I don’t think you know what “Desktop Computer” actually means. This is just a hub, nothing more.

I mean with Samsung DeX you can get relatively close, at least for office use. All Office 365 products are available for Android so attaching this to a Samsung phone would make it a decent option.

And a desktop computer is just a case unless you put components inside of it.

So at what point do the components become the thing? How is a collection of parts, like a case, motherboard, CPU, PSU etc. any different than a dock and a phone collectively becoming a PC?

"Desktop computer" has no inherent meaning.

It’s not that deep, COMPUTER is the important part here.

You know, a machine that performs computations. A computer.

The phone is the computer. The hub makes it a "desktop" computer.

The components of a desktop computer are the computer. The case makes it a "desktop" computer.
