So I have a very unique use case (though I’ve seen some people on this subreddit wanting to do the same). I’m one of those people that prefer a bed to a chair, and so I’d like to use my desktop pc but also have the portability of a laptop (I don’t care about wires being everywhere)
So I got the uperfect 15 inch, and it’s okay… but now I’m wondering if the nexdock improves on it… Here’s a pros and cons list I jotted up:
PROS: -can be used on any device, I use it with my desktop, steam deck, switch, and consoles, amazing
-samsung dex is cool, I like that as a bonus, might consider wireless nexdock
-hdr looks really nice and might be worth the hassle, but at the same time it looks washed out without being able to configure brightness/contrast easily once you turn it on(can adjust colors in software but that’s annoying)
-nice big screen (can also be a con but I prefer a big screen for gaming)
-keyboard is decent for gaming (might wanna setup bluetooth)
-has usb otg port (nice unique feature that surprisingly isn’t standard, but might not actually need this as host device can use usb)
-I do really like having a touchscreen, don’t think I can go back to not having that now
-since there’s no internal gpu/cpu, runs very cool unlike my laptop (that I use mostly for watching videos)
CONS: -hdr can be washed out, colors take manual configuring in intel/nvidia
-bluetooth doesn’t seem to work on desktop (can get a bluetooth reciever, or look into it)
-no keyboard backlight (but can angle screen to see keyboard at night, or use a bluetooth backlit keyboard)
-annoying light that indicates something near caps lock indicator, super annoing at night(can use electrical tape, or find out what indicators are and shut them off)
-no auto rotation when screen is flipped… might be a setting issue
-touchpad honestly kinda wonky, but I use a mouse most of the time anyway
-if you rotate the 360 screen with the keyboard facing downwards, it still registers the keyboard, is there no way around this other than finding a way to disable the keyboard through software?
So I was thinking of returning it and getting the nexdock instead, big con is waiting for it before the return window on this one wears out, I hear nexdock takes long to ship…
Apologies for the formatting…
