If Android lands this in a good way, I may finally switch off of iPhone. I do not need a laptop and a phone if I can just dock my phone and get my work done.
I do have a desktop at home, but I do occasionally enough need to travel and bring a laptop. It feels kind of like a waste, but a portable monitor, keyboard, and mouse would be great if I could just dock my phone and do my meetings.
Since I host meetings, tablets don’t offer enough functionality.
Carrying three separate devices (portable screen, keyboard, mouse) seems more hassle than carrying a single device (a laptop). Though it could be useful if I already have a screen, a keyboard and a mouse where I'm going.
One can have a laptop-form dock station. Or something like.
With DEX you can use your phone as a touchpad.
