in a modern age a person takes an
average 6.5 plane flights per year
this shows that people travel more often
now compared to the past decades cheaper
ticket prices and easy access to travel
amenities provided by airlines are a few
of the reasons the attitude when
traveling doesn't only get limited to
clothing packed in suitcases and bags
but also to the devices people carry
with them as they venture out into the
world the smartphones headphones and
laptops of the world come into mine
first
for the traveler who wanted to stay
connected to either maintain their
social life or their precious job but we
must start asking this question is it
practical to carry a device that is
designed for office and homes let the
Samsung Dex when you can have either
your laptop or your big tablet with you
okay here's the quick answer for you yes
and no Samsung Dex is portable but also
not as portable depending on what you'll
use it for if you want the bare-bones
set up yes if you want to use it with
all the usual peripherals that makes it
more useful no let me explain let's
imagine you're travelling overseas you
booked a hotel a decent hotel for sure
hotel rooms usually comes with a TV in
most cases in this case you can go for
the bare-bones setup
all you need is your HDMI cable charging
cable with the power brick the Dex doc
and of course your Galaxy smartphone for
items that's it
will these fit inside this bag yes it
fits nicely no problem there do you want
to bring your mouse and keyboard with
you I think it's not the best idea
however you can have a wireless keyboard
and mouse combo from let's say a
Logitech if you really want to but do
you really want to do that Samsung does
gives you the desktop experience using
your Galaxy smartphone desktop often
denotes an office setup this means your
travel size that setup lacks the monitor
and input devices that makes it a true
desktop computer right well here's where
the hotel TV comes in if you are sure
that where you stay in has at least one
monitor or TV that has an HDMI port then
you're good if not then all these cables
that you have in your bag will be
useless let me show you how you can get
up and running on a different TV or
monitor in a different country no mouse
don't worry you can actually use your
smartphone as touchpad to control the
cursor on the screen so in conclusion if
you only wanted to have Netflix and
YouTube to watch in your hotel room or
rented Airbnb home the X is a great
option however if the TV in your hotel
is already a smart one or you have to
type a long document while you're on
your trip then the X is impractical
period
why would you care too much about Dex
anyway what is the point
well the wider display makes you enjoy
your movies and media content better
while you do it your smartphone also
gets charged also you don't have to log
your Netflix account in a random
person's smart TV you also don't have to
do the same thing with your YouTube
Spotify tab or even Google Music
accounts
that's just provides you with a plug and
play and go approach if you have the
right use case and you're good to go
in our next episode we focus on how
useful MS Office Microsoft Office is in
Samsung Dex is it really a good
alternative to the regular web app or
even the Microsoft Office desktop
application that we all seem to be very
familiar with thank you for watching if
