Samsung DeX on my new Note 9, this is pretty fun! I don't think I'll use this much in the near future, but I could see this adding a second life to my phone in a few years once it's no longer useful as a cell phone...

    That's cool, I might look into something like that in the future, but the only problem I see with it, you cannot make your phone into a laptop.

     

    That woiuld be an amazing feature, and that needs to become a thing again (There was something like that in 2013 or so, but failed because nobody bought into it). I would love the day when I can just bring my phone, and nothing else, or decide I need a laptop, so bring the shell along, and not have to worry about losing my expensive laptop or it getting stolen.

    @Comic_Sans_MS I think that day will come. As Linus has said before, we'll have one device which is everything. So powerful it can power your phone, watch, laptop, and desktop all at once. It'll even play games, 16K @ 144 FPS, someday. That's the future.

    I was talking to less tech orientated people than me, and I was surprised that they use 3 or 4 devices (Laptop for at uni, phone for texting and Snapchat, desktop for studying at home, and iPad to watch videos on).

     

    They said, after they got their desktop, they stopped using their laptop at home. For me it was the literal opposite, same with a lot of my tech orientated friends. They got a laptop with SSD so stopped using their desktop.

    @Comic_Sans_MS Same here, my laptop is nice enough that I don't really use my desktop. I think that's also a trend.

    @Comic_Sans_MS If im correct, you can turn the razer phone into a laptop, but i dont know if you can actually buy that product.

    @Comic_Sans_MS - The original Motorola Atrix has a laptop dock, as well as a desktop dock IIRC.  That phone was amazing and way ahead of its time.

     

    I also had an Asus transformer pad around the same time, with the keyboard/Trackpad/extra battery dock that made it into a netbook with full size USB and SD card functionality.

     

    Both were lightyears ahead of everyone else IMO.
