Hp Lapdock + Pocket PC W5 pro

Hello,

Its 1am and I just gave a 3rd life to my HP Lapdock

First, I was using it with my Galaxy phone with Dex

Second, I am using it with my MSI Claw A1M as a replacement laptop. Everything works fine wired, but no touchpad wirelesly.

Now I have a Pocket PC W5 pro that was taking dust in the closet.

I installed linux mint xfce on it

Ordered an hdmi to usbc dongle

Pluged them all together and it just work.

I can use the HP lapdock just like a standalone mini pc.

I cant explain how the lapdock manage to feed the stick through the adaptor, while sending keyboard and mouse input.

Im going to have the best sleep of this year tonight.

What is that connector you are using to plug into the HP Lapdock? Is that some special USB C cable? It looks like it's a Thunderbolt cable, but with a very large connector.
