It's also something I've been thinking about for a while.

Certain companies have approached something like this, but it's been hidden.

Missus faras How useful it's been it.

We're talking about the idea that your smartphone becomes your computing hub instead of your laptop, that it plugs into something like a laptop.

It is the brains of the laptop, but the laptop displays an interface similar to what you're used to on a desktop computing platform, even though it's being powered from a smartphone now, Samsung most recently has been working on it in the form of their decks.

Product.

Oh, HP tried to do it to it, man.

It's been, I would say, the more common implementation up until this point has been some sort of a dock that connects to it to a computer monitor and a mouse and keyboard like a hub, sort of.

But this one today gives you a traditional laptop form factor keyboard display thing that you can fold up that has no guts in it.

The guts are in your phone, and you plug it in over USB Type C and boom is called the next Stock.

I believe it's a Kickstarter is pre order right now.

All of your APS.

What's going to give you a keyboard?

Most importantly, I would say, a bigger displaying a keyboard.

They've got a little kind of mount scenario going on over here.

It doesn't cost us much as the laptop.

That's a benefit.

It's got to be lighter than a laptop.

The 13 inch, non touch screen model starts to 59 with the U.

S keyboard layout.

There's also attract at these things.

I mean, this is the ultra model.

They've gotten so powerful it does beg the question.

Why are we carrying around all this horsepower when it's already in here?

And all you might want is a bigger displaying a keyboard For certain circumstances, I'll give you two drawback as we're opening this package.

The current drawback is that not all models of Android devices are capable of this, and obviously IOS devices are not capable of this.

It's on Lee devices that have some sort of desktop mode baked into them.

So obviously there's the Samsung products dating back to the s eight, Siri's and some notes, Siri's from the same era and the new stuff.

And then there's also the hallway devices.

They have their own desktop mode, so those ones work as well.

Those are popular devices, but it's not all of next, Stock says.

With the new rollout of new Android software, desktop modes are going to become more ubiquitous across the whole landscape, in which case this thing becomes even more useful regardless of which phone you're on now.

I do not know if this is a retail version, because, as I mentioned earlier in this video for the time being, this is a campaign of yeah, so it is on Kickstarter for preorder.

Wow, they raised half a 1,000,000.

Okay, very organized on boxing experience.

There's an HD my cable a short HD my cable.

Oh, a very robust type C cable a USB type C two micro USB slash U.

S.

B.

A.

A longer, more typical USB type C Capel.

This will likely go to your power brick right here.

It looks to be capable of being adapted to a variety of regions, including Europe and so on.

Man, they really included everything.

Look at this.

This is Ah, Minnie or micro HD, eh?

My toe.

Full size HD of my female micro USB to type C adapter.

So they got every adapter you could ever possibly want.

Look at this.

It's slaughtered in there.

Okay, First things first.

This feels heavier than I expected.

There's a battery in here according to Well, okay, so now that's starting to make sense.

So this has a 68 100 million power battery?

That's probably the majority of the weight that I'm feeling build quality.

My initial impression here.

It feels robust, man.

It's a micro SD card reader.

Headphone jack in a USB type a port.

Let's crack it open.

Wow, I'm gonna go ahead and say it.

The fit and finish here exceeds my expectations.

The glass at the top wraps around the display.

It's this very polished look to it.

The keys are not the best I've ever felt, but they're definitely in the same territory as other low profile keyboards.

It feels lighter on the bottom than to display portion itself.

What is the weight of this will £3.1.

I like the idea of this thing.

Also charging your phone or giving you extra charges on your phone.

Now, these other cables that they've included are four use with a raspberry pi set up.

This could act as your keyboard, mouse and display for a raspberry pi.

And that's where that pigtail connector with the micro USB comes in.

Look at this.

Next doc is ready to connect.

That's one benefit.

That power up is instant.

I have the latest as 20 flagship.

This is the ultra.

We just plug it in.

It triggers the Samsung decks over here.

Continue.

Get the Samsung Dex logo through Samsung.

Dex.

Choose to use your phone is a touch pad rather than this has a touch pad.

And you can also switch to screen mirroring where you're going to see your actual phone and be able to interact with it.

Typing is very similar to the new Mac book Pro the 16 inch MacBook, bro.

So if we open a browser again and what happens if we go to YouTube here?

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

Let's try to move the audio from the phone.

They're they're committed.

Well, they're committed there, innit?

They're not leaving.

So we got more brightness as well.

You know what I gotta say?

I'm kind of into this.

This is this is kind of cool.

There's something to this.

A lot of products come through here A lot of times is a rehash of something that you've seen or they're just you can knit picket this, things you don't like about it.

This is a tough category over here.

Like you trying thio, convince people to get away from a traditional laptop.

And it's hard.

Well, you know, you're a chromebook for, like, 2 $300 anyway.

So now you're thinking to yourself, Well, that could charge your phone and you got everything on the Web anyways, Do you even need your phone on your laptop?

But there's certain advantages.

You do everything on your phone anyways, everything from messaging for phone calls.

All that stuff is baked in via Dex.

Here.

It's all in there.

Your notifications.

You know how many people I see to get the laptop and in their phone sitting right beside it?

You probably not right now, will.

Look, I actually I'm looking at it now.

I think to 59 which is their asking price is pretty reasonable for what it is.

You got the backlit keyboard as well, by the way.

Look at that.

Did have a back light on there.

Sometimes, if you close it down Oh, it's instantly on.

Would you look at that?

Just like a phone.

I'm actually surprised by the construction.

Impressed by the construction for a newcomer like that.

The trackpad I was worried about bombs starting to used to it.

Interesting.

So at the moment, right now, my phone is not charging.

Or is it just because the phone's already 100%?

Mr.

Your phone will We're adding another phone to the mix.

What is this?

Regular s 20?

That's a nice color.

Great kind of thing going on.

This is 100% charge.

It's not pulling any juice, maybe.

Oh, yeah.

Okay, I take it back.

Apologies.

People could share this thing in the house.

Just bring your phone.

Just pop your phone in.

Hey, can I use the next doc?

I mean, you hack out an essay or ah, TPS report.

Okay, Go for it.

No problem.

But we got will's dark mode enabled over here from his phone.

Now, I need to be clear.

This trackpad experience is not going to mimic your Mac book over there Will the most the track.

I just need to be sped up.

We're all used to mark more accelerated track that you think is the settings.

If it's slow, I wish it was a bit brighter.

It's 250 bucks, though.

I wish it was a bit lighter.

It's 250.

You have a pretty fat vessel.

I mean, there's some things I could knit pick, but ultimately as a whole concept and the fit and finish of it, I have to say, I'm surprised at the execution here.

I'm not telling.

It's not an endorsement.

Tell you rush out and get it.

Understand?

It's a new brand.

There's some sort of risk involved any time to get involved with the new brand.

So you've got to keep that in mind.

It's pretty beautiful reporting from this.

But this this is Dex, right?

That's it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So if you hit, it looks like windows.

Yeah, Here's all your abs.

It reminds me of the slate.

Sort of, uh, chroma less.

Yeah.

I also understand it's pretty much on Lee compelling to people who use Samsung phones right now.

because it's tapping into the dec's thing and the phone is powerful, like what it's doing right out.

Running with the 10 80 or that looks really good.

You know what that is?

All right.

Well, let me just see the full specs one last time.

If you could scroll to that location 13.3 inch I ps display 1920 by 10 80.

So it's F h D 69 to 51 watt hour battery U S B C 3.1 with display port in one full size H d m I n.

Okay, So a full size H d m I n is interesting too.

You throw your game console in there.

Do they have a delivery date or time?

Are they talking about when you can get this?

That telling me reserve for March 2020 as early, limited quantities.

So this is the stuff that makes me nervous.

And it should make you nervous too.

I think this is where you do you put into due diligence.

People are increasingly the phone is the hub.

The phone is the brain.

What do I do in my laptop?

I don't know.

I'm just popping into the browser anyway.

It's kind of amazing to see what you can get done with a high powered smartphone in 2020.

It's Samsung for now, but hopefully, if this does well, it'll be more in the future.
