Well, you can argue if it's useful or not, but people do use dual screen setups so there is definitely demand for a dual screen laptop.

Fair enough.

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…

i’ve tried this with an android tablet and the lag is just unbearable have you noticed this? is it because my tablet ( samsung galaxy tab s6 lite) has usb c 2.0?

I've only tried it on an iPad Pro, and did not notice any lag.

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

Hey soared, I saw your post two years ago about "App lovin," and some possible claims of fraud. I'm a tech journalist. Can we chat? viktorlazlo1@proton.me

I would also go with a portable monitor. Just keep in mind that a lot of them have quite low resolution, low brightness, poor colour accuracy and that some of them still need a power brick (if they require more than 15 watts).

ViewSonic VX1655-4K-OLED, I don't have it yet, but it's not very expensive and should better than those not well-known brand.

Consumption (typical): 25w

So it’ll need a power brick to deliver 400 nits.

My portable InnoCN 4k OLED disagrees.

Is it the 15.6” model. Curious to know if it needs a power brick to deliver full brightness, and Aldi if it’s pentile?

You're not going to be able to send any useful screen contents over a usb 2 cable.

The outdated Display Port 1.0 can send up to 10.8Gbit/s, and the even older USB 2.0 could only send 480Mbit/s.

That'd let a raw 800x600 image per frame come through.

It'd be better just to stream over wifi.

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…

Except when Apple invents it, they will do it right . It will be a delight to use and will not harvest your personal data, instead of being gimmicky, malware-infested crud. The iPod was a vast improvement over previous MP3 players, just as the iPhone was over previous (and subsequent non-Apple) smartphones. Apple is just built different as a tech company -- they're the only major tech company that's actually built ar…

> The iPod was a vast improvement over previous MP3 players

This is objectively not true. It was an average product that was heavily marketed.

This is the first time in years that I've been interested in a Windows laptop.

This writeup doesn't include price, but others do, like https://www.engadget.com/the-asus-zenbook-duo-is-a-stunning-... . It starts at $1,499.

It's also just 3 pounds, which is 0.5 lbs lighter than the 14" Macbook Pro. I really like this breakdown by TechChap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzBxLYTUuK4, Dave2d's video is also good.

The thing also comes with a pen with high sensitivity.

It feels like this is priced as a loss leader for ASUS.
