Samsung dex on my HP 15s AMD RYZEN 7 laptop


ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 14" VR Ready 120Hz FHD Gaming Laptop,8Core AMD Ryzen 9 4900HS(Beat i7-10750H),16GB RAM,1TB PCIe SSD,Backlight,Wi-Fi 6,USB C,NVIDIA GeForce RTX2060 Max-Q,Win10 (Moonlight White)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

The last time, I tried out Samsung Dex was on my low-end Acer laptop with Intel N4200 and HD 505. My laptop originally had 4GB ram. It was 'functional' but sometimes it lags. Would have been fine if I just use it for simple things like checking emails and youtube.

You can check out the video of me using Samsung Dex on my Acer laptop here. I've actually upgraded that laptop ram to 8Gb. So, another 4Gb of rams actually help make things a little smoother. I can also actually played some games like Diablo.

Samsung Dex (website) on my HP 15.6, AMD Ryzen 7 is definitely much better. Although, you can actually just use Microsoft Your Phone App. The difference is in the user interface. I prefer Samsung Dex because it's more like a desktop.

If you don't have a laptop, you can plug in your Samsung phone to a TV, monitor, or portable monitor and turn it into a full-on computer. But, only certain Samsung phones has the Samsung Dex capability. I believe it's S10 and up.

I'm still using my Note 10+ that I bought over a year ago. I'm hoping to get the Z Fold 2, one day. The Z Fold 2 is pretty interesting. I think it can also be used with Samsung Dex. That would be a plus. You can already use it like a tablet or even a folding laptop with a tiny touch keyboard.

Get a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and you'll have an android tablet setup to check emails, social media, watching youtube or movies. Now you can even play games on a bigger screen. Once done, just fold it and into your pocket.

Right now, the Samsung Z Fold 2 is pretty expensive. Also, most reviewers think the camera isn't that good compared to let's say the S20 or Note 20. It's also a little bulky. I'm pretty sure they can make it slimmer and hopefully less expensive in the next iteration.

I always thought that tech designers and manufacturers supposed to make their products more lasting, smaller, and cheaper. Isn't that what the future of tech should be? We should already have a base on the moon and probably already living on Mars by now.

My new HP laptop unboxing video is pretty popular. I've already got over 10k views. Okay, you can't compare it to other top channels with millions of views. Still, they already have lots of subscribers. I'm actually surprised that it got way more views than my other laptop videos.

I think they like the slim, silver color AMD Ryzen design laptop. Although, the latest is Ryzen 9. If I had the money, I would have bought the latest Asus Zephyrus ROG 14 gaming laptop. Wish they have a 15.6-inch version. The color and design are the very reason I got the cheaper HP laptop.

Anyway, Samsung Dex is Samsung's advantage over other phone makers. Somebody made a demo of a DexBook (my youtube video) that would turn your Samsung phone into a laptop. Its design is actually pretty cool. Instead, Samsung makes a windows 10 laptop that has Samsung Dex support.

The laptop isn't that bad though. You can even charge your phone on the touchpad. Now, it reminds me of Apple's new M1 processor laptop and Microsoft Surface book or surface laptop or whatever they want to call it. 

I actually had a chance to check out the latest Apple M1 laptop at a local Apple store and it's so slim, fast, and light. Not bad, not bad at all. I like the 16 inches or was it a 15 inch? I wonder if you can use Samsung Dex on it? That would be a plus for me.

So many laptops, so little money!

Samsung Z Fold 2 Vs Microsoft Surface Duo


Microsoft Surface Duo Factory Unlocked GSM 6GB+128GB TGL-00001 (ATT & Tmobile) - Glacier (US Version) (Ships After 09/10)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

There are two products currently that catch my eyes. One is the Samsung Z Fold 2 and the other one is the Microsoft Surface Duo. First thing first, I've never got the privilege of being sent either of these products for play. I don't do a review, I play with these 'toys'. I either like them or don't. Anyway, if you want reviews, there are tons of them on youtube and websites.

Another thing is that I might be biased towards Samsung, cause I'm actually a fan of their products. Not so of Microsoft. Although, I'm using a Windows 10 pc. I like the Mac computer, but I don't have the money to buy them. I do have an iPad and once bought the Macbook gold. Love that laptop. But, I've sold it. I'm just saying, you might not agree with what I'm going to say about the Surface Duo. :p



Microsoft Surface Duo Factory Unlocked GSM 6GB+128GB TGL-00001 (ATT & Tmobile) - Glacier (US Version) (Ships After 09/10)

  • Bands Supported: FDD-LTE: 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,14,19,20,25,26,28,29,30,66 TD-LTE: 38,39,40,41,46 WCDMA: 1,2,5,8 GSM/GPRS: GSM-850, E-GSM-900, DCS-1800, PCS-1900
  • Factory Unlocked for ALL Carriers. Will also work on Verzion but will need CDMA_LESS Roam provisioned verizon sim
  • 6GB+128GB, Android 10, Screen size 8.1 inches, 1350X1800 screen resolution unfolded
  • Single sim+Esim
  • Android 10, 3577 mah battery

Right off the bat, I'm going to say Microsoft is lazy. Why? Because just look at the Surface Duo. It's like they take two touchscreen tablets and screw them together. It's not even a full-screen touch tablet. Hello, it's already 2020. Most phones are full screen and bezel-less. One of the reasons, I bought the Samsung S10+ and later upgrade to Note 10+ over the Apple iPhone X with that stupid notch.

You really have to give an A++ to Samsung for their research effort. That's why I'm surprised when Apple came out with the notch. It's like they say, fck it. There's no way we can make this better. I wonder if Steve Jobs were alive if he'll see the notch and like, yucks. They have billions of dollars and they can't find a solution for the front camera notch?

  • 5G Connectivity: Get next-level power for everything you love to do with Galaxy Z Fold 5G; Share more, game harder, experience more, and never miss a beat

When the Galaxy Fold was announced, I wasn't actually head over heels falling in love with it. Immediately, I thought that hinge won't last forever. In any product design, you try to remove any kind of mechanical movement. Because there definitely will be wear and tear. It goes for the screens too. I thought, with all the open and closing, how long can the screen last?

I didn't think much of the phone till I saw the Z fold 2. The moment I saw it, I'm like hey, that bronze is pretty nice. As I watch all the unboxing and revelations, I discovered they have actually improved to a front full screen. Yup, which the Surface Duo doesn't have. Some might argue, so what? Well, unlike the SD (Surface Duo), You can still use the Z fold 2 even when it's folded.

That's what I like about the Z fold 2 is that it looks and feels like a phone when closed. You can also definitely put it inside your pocket. I'm not sure if you can do that with the SD. The SD looks pretty wide and it looks like a book. A thin book. When you open the ZF2, it becomes a tablet. Even with the crease, it's still a tablet. While when you open the SD, it looks like two tablets with a hinge.

I don't know about you, but the parting in the middle is like you using two monitors. My desktop setup is actually like that. I have one big screen at the top and a smaller portable monitor at the bottom. Having two screens to multi-task is pretty useful. That's why I get the Surface Duo two monitors design. Also, using the bottom part as a touchscreen keyboard makes it like a two screens touch laptop.

I'm not really knocking off the Microsoft Surface Duo. If you're the type who likes the concept of having to monitors or tablets to multi-task than, by all means. It's also a phone, albeit bigger than your usual phablet. I remember one of my colleagues actually used his tablet as a phone and we were all laughing how funny that looks. 

That's why I'm pretty set at getting the Samsung Z Fold 2. I actually wished the ZF2 screen will be a little bit wider like my Note 10+ when closed. But, I'm not really complaining. Admittedly, I haven't even seen both of the product screens so I wouldn't know which actually is much better. At least I know you can't poke the ZF2 with an S Pen, which I really loved.

My main phone right now is the Samsung Note 10+. I sold my S10+ because I like how useful the S Pen is. Which is only available for the Note series. I like the phone so much, I recommended it to my mom and friends. That's why I was a little disappointed that the Z Fold 2 didn't have an S Pen. That would be an icing on the cake. Well, you can't have everything right?

I would have gotten the Note 20 Ultra 5G if I hadn't already got my Note 10+. Also, I don't have the dough. That's when my attention goes to the ZF2. Even though, the price is almost like getting a 13inch Macbook pro. I really like the new concept of the 2-in-1 phone. One moment, you're talking on the phone and another moment you're opening it up and using as a tablet.

I don't know the price of the Microsoft Surface Duo but I wouldn't be surprised if it's around the same range as the Z Fold 2. All I know is, the price is like paying for 2 mobile phones or an expensive android tablet. I think the price might go down once, the Chinese create their own cheaper 2-in-1  folding phone. They're becoming like the Japanese.

I remember back then, everyone was knocking off the japs cars. Copying from the Europeans. Now, they have a strong brand and even better products. Well, I see the Chinese doing the same thing. The Chinese have gone to the moon and already planning to go to Mars. That's how far their knowledge has grown in just a short time.

Ok. I'm going off scripts again. I'm just saying, look out for new better technology in the folding phone section. While Microsoft has tried to create its own brand of phones and failed, they might succeed with their portable folding laptop or tablet. Leave the phone market to Apple and Samsung. 

Right now, I'm giving the win to Samsung Z Fold 2. Based on their much better beautiful, practical, and forward-thinking industrial design!

You can also use your S Pen and use it for drawing, play games, write notes, and even take pictures or videos via remote. For me, that' what Samsung Note has the advantage over other so-called smartphones. Even better than Your Phone App companion.

It would have been better if Samsung had stayed in supporting Linux on Dex, which no other phone has. That's what makes Samsung galaxy more enticing. But they blew it. Maybe, because not many programmer use it. Or expensive to maintain?

Anyway, that's pretty much why I still use my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ over any iPhone or other Android smartphone. The future of mobile computing!
