Hey guys,

Check it out!

I bought a new kitchen table and thought I'll re-set up and use my old dex pad linking to a monitor that I already have on the wall. I had to search around for my USB-A to USB-C cable and just re-used the HDMI cable to connect.

The Dex pad still works fine even after not using it, I think, for almost 3 years. I even forget that I can connect my wired mouse and keyboard to it. If you don't want messy cables, Bluetooth is the way to go. But, if you already have an extra mouse and keyboard, might as well use 'em.

A couple years back, I tested my dex pad with a portable monitor, using it as a PC or laptop. I was testing it with my Samsung S10 or was it the S10 plus. You can connect the Xbox controller via Bluetooth and play some games that have controller support.

I haven't checked out any new latest mobile games but games that have controller support are far and few between back then. Games that do are fun to play with a real controller instead of the touch. Though the funny thing is now, I don't mind touch control.

Remember, you can only use an Xbox controller that has Bluetooth you can connect to your phone. Those old controller doesn't have them. Some of my youtube channel video viewers didn't know that. Asking me how I connect to my phone.

That is one of the reasons I like android phones. I especially like Samsung because of  Samsung Dex and the dex pad. But, now you don't need a dex pad to connect to a computer or laptop. But, if you want to connect to a Tv or monitor, you'll need something like the dex pad.

Samsung actually had the Ubuntu for Android project but they shelve it later on. It was pretty interesting and fun to play around with. You can check out my video for Linux on dex beta here. Too bad you can't play with them anymore.

Razer Project Linda was interesting too. You can use the Razer phone which doesn't exist anymore and use it with a laptop shell. Razer shelves their mobile department. Not sure why. I kinda like it. But, it had lots of problems. You can check out my unboxing video here.

There was a Samsung DexBook aka lapdock concept that looks pretty cool. You can check out the video I did on it here. The website that hosts the concept doesn't exist anymore though. Too bad, Samsung wasn't interested to create it. I would have bought it.

I created a poll asking if anyone would be interested in it and got a good response. Samsung decided to create a laptop that's more mobile. I think they used a mobile processor. I don't understand why there's no big company interested in a lap dock. The Linda Project and Samsung DexBook were a cool idea!

Will they sell? I'm pretty sure it will. Mobile phones are getting more powerful. Even on par with some laptops. Okay, not those high-end gaming laptops. Everyone has a mobile phone. They use it for pretty much everything nowadays. Why not create a lapdock to expand its usage?

What do you guys think?
