    It’s a cool feature, but I don’t know when I’d need/want it.

    Anyone who uses Samsung Dex do you use it often? When? Why?

      Tbh I usually just use it to play games on a bigger screen with a Bluetooth controller when I’m bored, Nintendo Switch style. There are plenty of console-style mobile games + streaming services that can make it a pretty good time killer if I’m the only one in a waiting room or something.

      I keep a lapdock in a quick go bag for the weekend or when I’m at my desk without my computer.

      I like dex, 80% of my computer usage is just Internet or quick server commands.

      My wife handles her YouTube channel 100% from her phone and having the option for a bigger screen for some task is great.

      I never understood why Google disabled display out via USBC, it comes built in on most chips.

      I use Samsung Dex as a daily driver basically. I’m a doctor and I use it to review patient charts on Epic. I also fully transitioned to Google docs+reworks for working on publications. It’s so easy to set up wherever I go. Amazing battery life and incredibly lightweight.
