System and method for application migration for a dockable device

A dockable device comprising:

• a first processor configured to execute at least one application;
• and
• at least one driver configured to:
• determine whether the dockable device is in a docked state or an undocked state while at least one application is being executed;
• and
• initiate an application migration for the at least one application from the first processor to a second processor in a docking station responsive to determining that the dockable device is in a docked state, wherein the at least one application continues to execute during the application migration from the first processor to the second processor.

• maintain data required to recreate an application state related to the at least one application regardless of whether the dockable device is in the docked state or in the undocked state.
