I am taking a short working weekend at Diani - and I am staying at a cottage. Usually I work for a few hours at the beach and spend the evening socializing. Clubs here run all night despite the curfew.
I finally found some really good use for my tablet.
Scenario.
Erratic power supply - it’s raining a lot here so power keeps going out.
Hard to carry the laptop everywhere.
Intermittent rains.
I can report that Samsung Dex is really powerful, and I am able to open multiple tabs, listen to youtube, sportify etc just like a desktop.
I can achieve typing speeds of 70 words per minute on the keyboard that I bought seperately ($250 btw). - On the desktop, my typing speed is approximately 100 words per minute.
I have been able to take zoom calls at a breeze the - SD 865 is no slouch. I am really happy with the outcome.
when rains start I just close the keyboard cover put the tab in a water proof sleeve and take a rest.
This thing also holds battery life for approximately 12 hours so I have been able to survive despite the erratic power supply. Also the camera isn’t too bad for a tablet.
Verdict. Go for it! The tab cost me approximately 100K after buying the keyboard case. Here is a screenshot of my typing speed.
I don’t think it is possible. I have experienced a lot of gliches with this tab S7 that I had stopped using it entirely for a short while. But I found the brave browser works well. Also no browser extensions. But for normal office work, report writing, browsing and browser duties it works perfectly fine. It also supports video out and accepts a mouse.
I don’t do video and photo editing anymore. So I can’t really judge but I don’t believe it is possible.
I agree it is expensive but I was adding it to a tablet that cost me close to 80K so didn’t look so bad. Even by Ducky TKL keyboard didn’t cost that much.
Not really no current tablet is optimized for work. Just watch this from techlead and see how it can be frustrating. It is just okay for a few tasks but you will definitely need a desktop/laptop at some point.
It’s a result of capitalism. Mzito, marehemu Steve Jobs alikuwa very categorical at the launch of the iPad that it will occupy that space between MacBook and iPhone.
They throttle it so that they can sell the very profitable Macs.
Lots of tech reviewers have been complaining about the limitations of ipad OS. Immediately snazzy labs comes to mind who was expecting great things at WWDC only for no developments
hio m1 chip ambayo imepigiwa ndebe ndio inatumika kwa mac systems.
walidesign motherboard na kutuma china slaves wakaunde.
sasa all new apple products ziko na the same motherboard; ipad, macair, mac mini, mack book , imac, macbook pro only different chassis
