Using a tablet as a laptop

[PhilipX20]

So I'm using my Samsung tablet (Tab S2) with mouse and keyboard via OTG and it feels like a laptop except without a physical keyboard attached to it though everything else just seems right at home. Who'd knew we'd have technology like this in the future.

I'm still waiting for hover cars and to be able to fly.. without being in an air plane. xP

Just ordered a Matedock 2, so I can use my phone as a computer.

I have a thing like that for my Nintendo Switch and it's compatible with phones to display it on a HDMI screen and also charge alternatively, via USB-C or Micro USB with an adapter I really hated how clunky the original Switch dock was and this mini dock did the job.

you could use a tablet as a laptop, but it has few limitations like you can perform basic tasks, but for programming need or to run some specific program you need a laptop because it consists of ARM processor.

that's only if you plan on doing somethng like that. i have the in between with a pixelbook. i really only use it for going online, surfing the net, youtube, and using microsoft office.

i have no interest using this for photo editing and such. it does have i think the 3rd gen i5 processor so most android games, and movies come out really amazing.

i think thats what tablets will now morph into. even we have the surface lineup as well as the google pixel slate
