The NexDock, a 14-inch monitor with built-in battery and bluetooth keyboard which turns small screen devices into a laptop, appears to be on track for shipping by its June deadline.
The company has arranged mass production of the device and is currently collecting shipping fees from backers.
The NexDock takes advantage of Continuum feature the Lumia 950 or 950 XL to deliver a full computing experience, and even if you have a device which does not have Continuum feature, you can still use NexDock using its mini HDMI-in port.
The company writes:
"Microsoft introduced a promising direction with Windows 10 mobile OS with Continuum feature and we hope to bring more productivity to Windows 10 smartphones with NexDock" said Emre Kosmaz, founder of Nex Computer LLC, "You can also get more productivity with NexDock with the smallest PCs, tablets to transform them the most affordable laptops and it is only the first step to our vision. In the future, we want to design docks with better integrated Mini PCs. By separating processor & OS from the displays, we are hoping to start a paradigm shift in consumer electronics which would enable less electronic waste for environment and a better computer to match customers' exact needs." he added.

The fund-raiser started at $99, but those interest can still get in at $119, with around 70 slots available at that price.
Note however that Microsoft is working on their own solution which may be more integrated, though there is no guarantee their own laptop dock will ever hit the market.
