The Rise of AI: Revolutionizing PCs Gaming Creativity Final Frontier Space Exploration #ai #aicomputing

 
The Rise of AI: Revolutionizing PCs Gaming Creativity Final Frontier Space Exploration

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing professional and recreational computing, impacting areas from content creation and gaming to space exploration. Here's an overview of AI's current and future roles in these domains.

AI in Personal Computing:

Recent advancements have led to the integration of AI into everyday PCs. Microsoft's Copilot+ PCs, for instance, come equipped with neural processing units (NPUs) that facilitate tasks like video editing and image manipulation, enhancing user productivity and creativity. 

AI in Gaming:

AI is transforming gaming experiences by enabling more realistic interactions and adaptive gameplay. Developers create AI-driven characters that learn and evolve, providing players with dynamic challenges. Additionally, AI assists in game development, streamlining processes, and enhancing creativity. 

AI in Content Creation:

Content creators use AI tools to produce videos, music, and art more efficiently. Platforms like Synthesia allow creators to generate lifelike AI video versions of themselves, facilitating multilingual content and expanding global reach. This integration reduces production time and costs, enabling creators to focus on innovation. 

AI in Space Exploration:

AI's potential extends beyond Earth, playing a crucial role in space exploration. AI-driven robots can conduct preliminary studies of planetary environments, setting the stage for human colonization. These robots can analyze terrain, assess habitability, and establish communication networks, making them indispensable for future interplanetary missions.

Future Prospects:

The convergence of AI with personal computing, gaming, content creation, and space exploration signifies a transformative era. As AI technology evolves, we can anticipate more sophisticated applications that enhance human capabilities and open new frontiers in various fields.

rain rain go away come again another day | iPhone 13 #rain #rainsounds #rainyday


(All links will open up in a new tab.)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

The other day, I saw a guy on YouTube talking about using an iPhone as their main camera, instead of buying expensive cameras and lenses for photography and videography. I commented that I've been using several iterations of the iPhone to do that!

I've talked about it on my blog years ago. Since I couldn't afford a camera, using my iPhone was the next best thing. Sometimes, I'd even use my iPad. In fact, using the iPad is much better as the screen is much bigger for editing. 

I discovered earlier that the iPhone camera is quite good. I use it mostly for my unboxing videos. I prefer bigger storage spaces. The most important thing was the free editing app available on the iPhone, the iMovie. I love the iMovie app.

Sure, there are many other good so-called 'free' apps. But, they sometimes come with watermarks and are worse now with the trial version. Which really sucks. They used to be totally free. I used to enjoy using the GoPro free app. Now, I don't use them.


I also have a Samsung Android phone. Sometimes, I use it for photography and videography. Now, you can use Google or Samsung free video editing software. They're good, too, and free. But, iMovie is still the main driver for me. 

In the early days, my iPhone used to stop working in the middle of my editing like my computer constantly froze. I'd have to redo it again unless I had saved it. It was really exasperating. My computer wasn't the high-end type. 


I didn't know it back then but if you want to do heavy video editing, you should get a high-end gaming PC or laptop. They usually offer the best CPU and GPU. The minimum is 16GB of Rams. I'm using my gaming PC right now. That is my main daily driver.

My PC seldom hangs when I use it for video editing. It has 16GB of RAM and has it for over 5 years. Think of upgrading to the latest available. I don't use it for video editing now as I'm running out of storage. Currently, I'm using my Apple Macbook Pro M1 Pro. 


The Apple MacBook is good. But, it's damn expensive. I took a plunge as I wanted a good laptop for video editing. As always, it has the iMovie for video editing. That's one of the reasons I decided to get a Mac. I have the 16GB version but if I had the extra dough, I would have chosen with more rams.

The MacBook Pro laptop was useful when I brought it along on vacation. I edited my photos and videos when we returned to our Airbnb house. I didn't have to wait to return home. Check out these videos which I took using my Nikon Zfc and edited on my Mac.

I've been making videos for my YouTube channel for years. There are over 1000 videos. I wasn't into YouTube in the early days. I just upload random stuff. It was only later on that I began to do unboxing videos and learn about video editing etc. 

Oh yes, the rain has finally stopped!

I bought an iphone 13 phone case with 36 classic retro gameboy games #iphone13 #phonecase


WeLohas Gameboy Case for iPhone 13/13 Pro, Handheld Retro 168 Classic Games, Color Video Display Game Case for iPhone, Anti-Scratch Shockproof Phone Cover Black

Hey guys,

Check it out!

It would be cool to have a phone case that also functions as a retro gaming console. I love retro games like Arkanoid or Galaga and have them in many forms. So, why not in a mobile phone case form? I searched around, and they do sell them. Cool!

I asked my colleagues which phone case color would be nice for my iPhone 13, and they said red. And it's really nice. It fits snuggly on my Apple iPhone 13 and feels kind of nice to hold. Yes, you can also feel the buttons. I find myself fiddling with the buttons when I hold the phone.

I bought a case that has 36 retro games. There are others that offer more. I usually just stick to playing my favorite retro game. Oh, the case isn't only available for the iPhone. They also have it for Samsung mobile. You can check them out here.

Having a retro gaming console case for your mobile is really fun. It has a separate battery charger. A Micro USB cable is included. I'm assuming it'll last as long as other portable gaming consoles. This means hours if not days of gaming.

The game console case will be upside down at the back because of the camera location. When you play the game, your phone should automatically go blank. This is to avoid opening any apps or whatever. As a case, it's really sturdy and strong. Though, I don't want to drop it.

The console charging port will be available at the top of your phone. Charging your phone and the console would not be a problem. For me, charging the phone is much more important and I can charge the case later using my desktop computer charging port.

Having a retro game console as a phone case will save you space and headaches. I also have a portable retro gaming console but am too lazy to bring it along when going to work or just out and about. Until today, it's just stuck in my drawer.

The retro game console is literally my phone case, I don't even have to think about it. Whenever I feel like playing retro games with REAL buttons, I'll just turn around my phone, power it on, and start gaming. The keywords here are the real gaming buttons. It could be better but real buttons nonetheless.

It is a cool idea to have a gaming console as a phone case. Making it as thin as possible would be better. And, better game controller buttons. If you have been reading my blog, you'll know that I always complain about mobile gaming not having a good controller.

Okay, back then it was the early days of mobile gaming. Now, there are plenty of good mobile game controllers. Most of them are big and bulky. The phone case looks like a phone until you turn it over. It even has its own screen for gaming. Cool!




Check out the pics above for my new retro game console iPhone 13 phone case. Cool!

my new monitor stands with RGB lighting


KYOLLY RGB Gaming Computer Monitor Stand Riser with Drawer, Storage, and Phone Holder - 1 USB 3.0 and 3 USB 2.0 Hub, 3 Length Adjustable

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've been having a problem with my old used monitor stand lately, so I thought it was time for me to get a new one. It's been years and there are many new designs right now, especially with RGB lighting. It's not really important to me but why not?

Anyway, I decided to get the black color with nice RGB lighting lining at both ends. What's important though is that there are USB-A ports available. I need them to power up my portable monitors. Preferably, the ports are on the side as the cable is blocking. No, biggie though.

Of course, there are many uses for a monitor stand. To make your monitor more at your eye level. Having a monitor above or below eye level could strain your neck. You can also use it for laptops. Especially, when you prefer to use a normal keyboard.

I had to mod the height of my old monitor stand because it couldn't fit my Razer keyboard. I assumed that it could. So, I cut 2 pieces of small rectangular wood and put them under my monitor stand. Now, I can slide my keyboard when not in use.

Of course, with my new monitor stand, I don't have to do that. I wish that mine was a little longer though. But, it'll do. Still fits both of my portable 15-inch monitors. I bought and used a cheap laptop stand to put my portable monitor. I think it's much better than using a computer monitor. 

That's why I prefer a monitor stand with USB ports. So, that I can use it to power up my portable monitor. Mine has 4 ports. More than enough. I like that there's also a tray to put your school or office accessories. There's also a mobile phone stand that you can pull out and push back when not in use.

Everyone has a different type of monitor stand they prefer. It doesn't have to have USB ports. Not, everyone too wants to use several portable monitors. They might just want a big stand to hold two monitors. If you're in an office setup, you might also want accessories placeholders.

A monitor or laptop stand basically just makes your table more clean and organized. Everyone wants a cool-looking gaming or work table. My 'floating' table is actually kinda small. It's fixed to the wall and built around with cabinets and a bed.

Nowadays, you even have a monitor stand with a wireless phone charger. Most of us, put our phones beside our computers or laptop. Might as well just put it on the charger while using the computer. If you're using Samsung mobile and Samsung Dex, there you go.

You can charge your phone and access the files or data from inside the phone and view it on a bigger screen computer monitor. Our mobile phones today are so powerful that you might not even need a computer or laptop anymore. Work on the go without the bulk of yesteryears!

For example, the monitor stand unboxing YouTube video above was recorded and edited on my Samsung Z Flip 5. You can't do that back in the day. Even the computer I used back then wasn't as powerful. It always freezes and sometimes you'll have to re-do freaking everything again!

Reminisce. Lol!

beautiful evening sky view from my window - samsung note 10+ camera


Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone 128GB US Version Mobile Gaming Smartphone Long-Lasting Battery, Mystic Bronze

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I was so captivated by the beauty of the evening sky that I decided to take a video of it on my Samsung Note 10+. I check out the pro settings and I'm like whoa! You can do so many things to make your pictures, the way you want them to be seen.

In the end, I didn't change anything and just took the video as it is. Later on, I put the filter on when uploading to youtube. It makes the blue sky looks much darker but kinda fake. Maybe, I should have just left it be.



Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone 128GB US Version Mobile Gaming Smartphone Long-Lasting Battery, Mystic Bronze

I've been using my Apple iPhone, iPad, and Samsung phone to take many pictures and videos for years. I even use it for my youtube channel. I've actually blogged about it before. The mobile phone camera has improved so much that you can take videos, edit and upload them right from your phone.

Several decades ago, you can't do all that. You need a good camera and a computer. My first few videos on my youtube channel were taken using my webcam. I'll then edit them or just upload as it is. My favorite software was Microsoft free Movie Maker. In fact, I'm still using it today!



DEPSTECH 4K Webcam, 2021 Autofocus Webcam with Microphone 8MP HD Web Camera with Sony Sensor, Privacy Cover and Tripod, Plug and Play USB Computer Streaming Webcam for Laptop PC/Video Call/Skype/Zoom

In the old days though, I don't have a high-end pc. I was still using old Pentium and probably 2 or 4Gb of rams. Can't remember exactly. The moviemaker will hang or crash. Sometimes, it won't even load. You can imagine how constantly frustrated I was trying to finish my video.

The worst part is when you have done your editing and you're about to save when suddenly your computer freeze. The only thing you can do is press ctrl+alt+delete or switch off and on the computer. And you wonder why pc users have anger management issues. Lol!

I can't remember which versions of the iPhone that I started using for my channel. Maybe, it's the iPhone 6, 7, or 8. I didn't like the iPhone X with the notch, so I decided to switch back to Samsung phones. My current phone is the Samsung Note 10+.

Yesterday, I was teaching a lady friend how she can make videos and upload them to her youtube channel. She thought that she'll need a laptop. I told her, nowadays, she can do everything right on her phone. I'm not sure what kind of phone she's using though.



Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G | Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone | 256GB Storage | US Version Smartphone Tablet | 2-in-1 Refined Design, Flex Mode | Mystic Bronze

I'm hoping to get the latest Samsung Z Fold 2 or 3 coming up soon? I like the 2 in 1 form factor. You can use it as a mobile phone and open it up to use as a tablet. If you're a Youtuber or blogger like me that will be pretty useful.

It'll be much easier to edit your videos or even post a blog with a bigger screen. Open it up, connect to your Bluetooth mouse and keyboard and you have a mini android computer setup. The best thing is that you can do it anytime and anywhere. Fewer items to bring along too!

For travel vloggers, would be lighter loads for them. If Samsung can improve on the camera and user interface (UI), the phone will be pretty popular amongst influencers. I've been hearing about Samsung's new Exynos 2200. That can be used on laptops and mobile phones. Imagine that on the latest Z Fold 3?

HP Pavilion laptop Amd RYZEN 7 4700u 16gb 1TB ssd Radeon graphic unboxing


HP 2021 Pavilion Laptop, 15.6" FHD IPS Display, AMD Ryzen 7 4700U (>i7-10710U), 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Webcam, B&O Audio, WiFi 6, Bluetooth, Backlit Keyboard, Fingerprint, Numeric Keypad, Win 10 Home

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Well, finally the HP laptop that I recommended to my friend to get arrived. And, he actually ordered the 16GB Ram version. He told me he prefers the 8GB Ram and upgrades it later. But, I told him, it's such a hassle to open the bottom case and it might also void the warranty if any shit happens.

I think he also says that he prefers the 14" screen instead of the 15.6 inches. It's the same kind of thinking of trying to scrimp and save. I've been using the HP 15.6 screen size and I feel it's much better for my bad eyesight. Also, you'll get a full keyboard with a number pad.



HP Pavilion 15 Laptop: AMD Ryzen 7 4700U, 512GB SSD, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 15.6" Full HD IPS Display, Windows 10

  • AMD Ryzen 7 4700U Processor (2.0 GHz base clock, up to 4.1 GHz max boost clock, 8 MB L3 cache, 8 cores)
  • 15.6" diagonal, Full HD (1920 x 1080), IPS, micro-edge, BrightView Display
  • 512GB PCIe NVMe M.2 Solid State Drive
  • 16GB DDR4-3200 SDRAM (2x8 GB), AMD Radeon Graphics
  • Realtek RTL8822CE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac (2x2) Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 combo, Windows 10 Home
If your work involved calculations, that number pad will be pretty nifty. One thing is that the laptop version he got doesn't have the fingerprint sensor. Mine has and it's much faster to log in instead of having to type your password.

He will also appreciate the webcam for a video call with his family back at home in India. I like to link my Samsung Note 10+ to my laptop and use WhatsApp for messaging, voice msg/calls, and video calls. Since I'm on my computer all the time, I seldom need to check my phone.

The important thing is that it's within his budget. And, for the price, this is not a bad laptop. Yesterday, I tried transferring pictures and videos from my camera to my laptop and it was pretty smooth. I edited the video and upload it to my youtube channel.

My laptop only has 8GB of ram. It'll be much better with 16GB ram, like my friend's laptop. That's why I insisted that he get the 16GB of ram. Yeah, you might save if you upgrade it later but if you have the dough just pay for it and avoid the hassle later. Unless you're the tinkering type and know what you're doing.



HP - Envy x360 2-in-1 15.6" Touch-Screen Laptop - AMD Ryzen 7 - 8GB Memory - 512GB SSD - Nightfall Black

For the moment there, I thought my friend wanted to upgrade the CPU aka the processor. I told him it's an integrated motherboard. It's a laptop, not a desktop. Turn out he was referring to his desktop ram. He wishes to upgrade from 6GB to 8GB ram. Lol.

Just to let you guys know, that not every Indian knows anything about computers. The joke about Indian IT guys is funny but India is pretty big and not everyone has the money to study or even own a computer. My Indian friend works as an electrician but he knows shit about computers.

To be clear, I'm no computer expert myself. I learned through self-learning since the mid-90s. That's when the computer world was booming. I just happened to finish my two years compulsory National Service (NS) in the military and got a job as a civil servant after that.

Lucky for me, I got to learn to use the computer and simply expand my knowledge from there. I even once got a job at an Apple factory. Can't remember which year but I didn't stay long. I was pretty impressed with their system video capabilities back then.

I really miss those fun days. Used to go out with my friends to the computer mall just to look around. That's how we spend our weekend. I haven't been there for a pretty long while since then. I don't even know if the building is still around. Last I heard, they're gonna tear it down to build a damn condo. 

Anyway, my friend will pick up his new laptop this weekend. Hope he enjoys it!

Sunday Retro Fun with Apple II Emulator!


Razer Blade 15 Base Gaming Laptop 2020: Intel Core i7-10750H 6-Core, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, 15.6" FHD 1080p 120Hz, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, CNC Aluminum, Chroma RGB Lighting, Thunderbolt 3, Black

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've always been interested in computers since I was a kid. The first time, I touch a computer was in a military show in the mid-80s. I think I went straight to the computer booth a second time with my family. I'm not sure but I think, the first time was with my school class.

Even though it was my first time, it felt natural. I forget all about it until after my Army stint and I got a job with a government department. That's where I get to learn to use the computer for work and for play. It was such a fun time working there.

I just remembered that we actually have computer class when I went to a technical school to learn automotive engineering. But, I didn't really learn anything as the teacher only let us play games. And, we had to share so, I didn't get to do much.

I've actually worked in an Apple factory before and back then, I was pretty impressed with the video capability. It was such a long time ago, I don't even remember what kind of Apple computer it was. Everything is a blur to me right now. One time I met an Apple fanboy that won't touch a PC. Now, that's hardcore. Lol.

The only interesting part of my life was when I get to own a computer. That was when I really dabbled with everything that I need to know about it. I remember having to reformat my computer a dozen times because I fcked it up so bad. That's what you call learning by trial and error. Haha!

Frankly, there are things that I know now that I wish I had learned during that early days. That's why I love emulators. With emulators, I get to re-discover things that I should have done differently all those years ago. Best of all, I get to try out an old operating system that I didn't get the chance to play with.

Gaming is part of everyone's life growing up and me too, no less. But, I grew up in a poor, broken family that doesn't even have a house of our own until later on in our life. I remember playing games in a neighbor's or friend's house and at a small arcade shop.

The only thing that sticks with me is how sore my thumbs were. Being a kid during the early days of gaming and computer time means, there are things that I didn't get the chance to learn or play with. Like I've said, that's why I freaking love emulators.

The thing I really LOVE most is the laptop. The first time, I saw a laptop, I knew I want one. Don't exactly remember where I actually first saw one though. I only remember I had to sell my soul to get it. Somehow, I managed to get my hands on several different brands throughout the years.

Like they say, if you want something badly, you'll get it hooked or by crooked. Nowadays, you can easily get to enjoy all the glory of the past and probably the future. You have a computer right in your pockets. And, emulators are also available for them.

I guess I have to thanks the genius that created them for us oldie lovers. One thing I hope is that maybe the companies can do a retro build of their machine for the future gens. I'll love to get my hands on the early Apple I or II. Heck, I still have diskettes of files from the 90s. 

Wish, I didn't throw away or sold my old PC and laptops. I still keep lots of old diskettes, CDs, thumb drives of games, and software (mostly copyrights). The thing is, because of emulators, lots of the files I saved back then are now easily available online. :p

Check out archive.org full of emulators, games, and old software. Pretty cool!

ASUS ROG Gaming phone 3 Vs Nintendo Switch


Asus ROG Phone 3 512GB 12GB RAM 5G ZS661KS / I003DD SD865+ Global Version - Black Glare

Hey guys,

Check it out!

The Asus ROG Gaming phone 3 is out now and it seems really popular. But, this got me thinking about the difference between a gaming phone and my Nintendo Switch lite. I have actually kinda done an Asphalt 9 Legends gameplay comparison video before but it's between my Samsung Note 10+ and my original Nintendo Switch.

The Samsung Note 10+ is not marketed as a gaming phone but it can play basically any mobile games out there. It got the latest CPU and GPU to play any console-like games that are available. Although, it does get hot especially when playing a graphic-intensive game like Grid Autosport. One time, the phone killed the game because it was getting too hot.



Asus ROG Phone 3 512GB 12GB RAM 5G ZS661KS / I003DD SD865+ Global Version - Black Glare

I was actually doing some testing playing the game using Microsoft Your Phone App on my PC monitor. I didn't look out for the heat so, maybe I had pushed it too much. After that happened, I went on looking for an external mobile radiator fan or a cooling fan. I never thought I'll need one as I don't really game that long.

As a gaming phone, Asus ROG claims to have a cooling system internal and external that will help cool your phone down when gaming. I don't have their phone, so, I'm not sure how good they are but they also have one of the best gaming laptops with new liquid metal cooling. So, that could boost your confidence about their products.



Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy‑Con - HAC-001(-01)

The Nintendo Switch is a portable gaming console. It's not a phone. You can't make calls, take pictures or videos, and share them online. Yes, you can take short game clips and pictures. But, only internally. It does come with a controller and playing games to me is much better on the Nintendo Switch and now my Nintendo Switch lite.

The one thing I hate most about mobile gaming is the games and the lack of game controller support. Yes, there are console-level graphics games for the mobile but they're mostly touch-control games. They're also not a full triple-A type of game. Meanwhile, a lot of triple-A games are already available like the latest Persona 5 Strikers, NBA 2K21, and others.



Nintendo Switch™ Fortnite Wildcat Bundle

Another thing I hate about mobile games is that you need internet access to play the game. Why? Because they need the advertising money. Yes, it's free-to-play but if you can't play with Wifi or data connection, you're screwed. I end up playing old retro games on my Nintendo DS lite. I didn't have a Nintendo Switch that time. 

Talking about the controller, it actually cost almost a gaming laptop which is around $2k just to get all the complete accessories. Yes, pretty expensive. It's also actually kinda a hassle to put on a retractable controller every time you want to play a game. Unlike my Nintendo Switch lite, every time I have the itch to play Asphalt 9 Legends, I just pick it up choose the game, and play. 



ASUS ROG TwinView Dock 3 (ZS661KSS Station Module)

They do have some cool accessories like the TwinView dock 3. It definitely looks like my 3DS XL. I like the idea of a dual-screen phone that would make multi-tasking easier. The ability to game on the top screen while video-calling your friend on the bottom screen. Browsing the internet while watching youtube on either screen.

As I've said before the mobile phone today is like a computer, so you'll be using it as a computer. For work and for play. While the Nintendo Switch is a dedicated portable gaming console. I've seen people playing games on one mobile while talking to someone on another mobile. In the end, why not get a portable gaming console like the Nintendo Switch for gaming while your phone for what it's meant for. A phone.


ROG Kunai Gamepad Controller for ASUS ROG Phone 3 ROG Phone III (ZS661KS )-Black

A Nintendo Switch is only almost cost a quarter of a gaming phone. An expensive gaming phone that doesn't have triple-A games. Unless you're the type like to play games that my mother plays like those puzzle 3 gems game. I'm not even sure if you can use the controller to play popular mobile games like Call of Duty or PUBG mobile.

Add to that insult is the need for an 'app' to remap your buttons. Which, you actually have to buy to be able to use the full features. I'm not going to pay to use a freaking controller to play a freaking mobile game. Games should have outright come with controller support. In the past, I used to look for games that look like it has controller support but end up doesn't. I deleted all of them. A waste of my time.



Nintendo Switch Lite - Zacian and Zamazenta Edition

I finally give up and get myself a Nintendo Switch lite (sold my original to my nephew). I can play triple-A games and even mobile games too. Now, there are already a few free-to-play games available which I actually enjoyed playing on my mobile like Asphalt 9 Legends. I don't mind them as long as you can play with a controller.

I still like the gaming phone technology though. Maybe, one day, I can dock a gaming phone and play a real triple-A game with a mouse and keyboard instead of just a 3 gems game. If they still keep treating the phone as just for casual gaming or a phone then no point in making a gaming phone. I bought a Razer gaming phone once, and now they don't even sell it anymore. Maybe, there's a reason why?

Frankly, the mobile gaming phone tech might actually be better than my Nintendo Switch lite. But, playing real games on a portable gaming console like the Switch is definitely much more enjoyable and stress-free. Even my nephew is a believer and he was actually the one that pushes me to buy a Nintendo Switch. It's all because he can play FIFA18 on the go back when it was first available to the switch.

What I like about the latest Samsung tablet is its ability to change to Samsung Dex mode. If you've been reading through my blog post, you'll know how I love using the Samsung Dex from my phone. Turning it into a computer with its desktop user interface.

Get a Samsung Keyboard case with touch and you'll turn your tablet practically into a laptop. There are already many apps that can be used in the Samsung Dex mode. You can view them in a small window or expand it to full-screen size. Pretty nifty!

Tab S7 Silver 128GB with Keyboard Cover

The tablet of today has definitely improved. My mom actually still used the old Samsung tablet and it's actually still working fine. She used it mainly to play some games and video-calling her daughter. I actually bought her an Apple iPad Pro 9.7 inch but she still prefers to use her old tablet.

As I've said before, I really like that Samsung Dex, UI is available on the new tablet. If you're used to or prefer using a desktop interface, then it'll be much more familiar and easier to use. I don't really like to have all apps on my main page. Even on my phone, I limit it to only the important apps.

If all you need is a tablet for your work and entertainment then definitely, it's a great alternative to a windows laptop too. The ability to use it as a tablet and if need be, you can attach the keyboard to reply to emails or type documents.

Nowadays, if you have an Xbox game pass subscription, you can even play triple-A console-level games on a tablet. But, you'll need wifi access. I'll prefer being able to download my favorite pc games on the tablet itself. Just like what I prefer on my android phone.

Anyway, don't miss out on Samsung's latest price cuts for their products!
