Lenovo is well known for its Windows PCs but also has a growing Android smartphone business, and the new Lenovo LINK is a new accessory that ties the two together. At its most basic level the LINK is a 32GB flash drive, but when you look a bit closer you'll notice it has USB 3.0 port lined up opposite of its USB plug where it connects to your computer. When you plug your phone into that USB port via a standard USB cable, it turns your computer into a remote desktop, of sorts, for the connected phone.

Once you have the Lenovo LINK app installed on the phone and the companion software on the computer, connecting your Android 5.0 and above phone to a Windows 7 or later PC pops up a splash screen letting you connect right away. By default you'll have a remote view of your entire phone, where you can navigate and interact with it using your computer's mouse and keyboard. You can use apps, respond to messages, and even copy and paste information between the phone and the computer. You can also drag and drop files between the two devices, and it all gets transferred over the USB cable. Verizon is offering the Pixel 4a for just $10/mo on new Unlimited lines
