If you already carry a an iPad in your laptop bag, but use Windows or Linux on your laptop, you can use the iPad as an external monitor using: - a cheap HDMI USB capture device ($5 from Temu) - a short HDMI cable to connect that to your laptop's HDMI output - a USB to lightning or USB to type C adapter (depending on your iPad model) - a free app to display the UVC camera input full screen, e.g. https://apps.apple.com…

Can this be done on an Android tablet too like Samsung?

Probably, as long as your tablet supports an external webcam.

You'll need an app to view the camera. Search Google for 'android uvc viewer'.

I just saw this in the wild, and talked with the user, who programs 3D AR/VR content. I saw the dual screen in use with the top screen for a VR scene and the bottom screen for code. The user's interactions among the two screens and keyboard were seamless. The screen colors were vibrant and rich, even in bright light. Based on what I saw, I would definitely try it for typical office use or even for typical website pro…

Laptop of these specs won't last a day in general, and they'll also be power constrained in most running profile when straight on battery (you'll be out of power in a few hours if using the full extent of the GPU) Anyone planning to do 3D work in the wild with no power outlet should invest in a (heavy) 100W power bank. Also reliable 100+W chargers will cost an arm and a leg, same docking stations. It's definitely sti…

You can buy GaN chargers of up to 180W nowadays, they weigh half as much as regular power bricks and are fairly affordable if you need them. You don't even need to cover the peak power usage and can go with a smaller charger covering regular usage and let the battery come to help when momentarily drawing more power (this is what I do with my Zephyrus G14 + 65W Voltme).

Did you mean "This is gonna be such a big deal when Apple invests in it in 5 years."?

The joke is that something comes along and is in market for a while, but as soon as apple release a version of it everyone acts like it is new and first of a kind and wow aren't apple amazing for this amazing thing! Gee whiz - we've never seen anything like this! Take my money! TAKE MY MONEY!!! So e.g. MP3 players Vs iPod, smartphones Vs iPhone, tablets Vs iPad, ARM CPUs in computers Vs M-series, wireless charging, B…

Yeeeeeaaaaahhhhh!

You seem, like me, to be one of the few people on this board, who doesn't get breathless or lose their shit for every little announcement.

Or, more pithily and Unix-ily (and hence macOS-ily), my reply to your comment is:

/usr/bin/yes "Yes!"

Potentially a good idea to avoid using Temu - https://apnews.com/article/temu-shein-forced-labor-china-de7...

China is a forced labor camp.

Honest question, if someone genuinely recommends a product, why is an affiliate link a bad thing?

Because you can’t possibly know if it’s genuine? And incentives matter — a non-affiliate link is more likely to be a genuine recommendation.

Yes but spelling it out that it's an affiliate link how does it make a difference?

I've found it easiest to use something like deskreen. That way you don't need to rely on your tablet supporting hdmi input, you just need a browser.

You'll need a hdmi dummy plug on your PC though.

A regular 15.6” 1080p monitor from a no name brand costs 1/3 the price, crazy that touch adds so much to the price. Also you should ID affiliate links.

Samsung tablets can act as second screens for windows PCs AFAIK.

For Linux I've had some success with Microsoft's RD Client android app -> remote to Linux PC.

I'm on gnome though, which has some experimental setting which allows you to set remote desktop clients to act as a new display instead of cloning your existing display.

If you're using a mac you can extend your screen wirelessly to the iPad. I found the image gets compressed a bit but it's still plenty usable for showing a browser during web development.
