You should really google "Samsung Dex".

I've used it plenty. In fact it's what I used primarily on the lap dock. However, I think it's pretty poor. Android apps really don't feel natural in windows. The window management is generally poor. I like pinning windows to half of the screen, using keyboard shortcuts. Having a consistent clipboard across apps. I think it's an ok solution, but everything runs a bit slow and feels stilted. It doesn't help that wireless solutions have pretty severe refresh rate and lag issues, and usb c makes the setup a bit inelegant. It came in handy a few times that I wanted to do text input and my phone wouldn't be ideal. That's it.
