Great quick presentation Frank. I’m 56 and not as computer literate as I like to be. Also since dealing with TBI it has been quite challenging at times retaining some information. I currently using an iPhone XS Max for most of my research for things I need to learn and I have been reluctant to spend on a new phone or laptop. So it was such a blessing to come across your channel and learn about the tips you shared on what I can do with a smartphone. I’m going to track down the items you posted in the description and give it a try. At least either way if the setup works or doesn’t it won’t be a big expense. Thank you again.

Ok - that Keyboard is legit!!! Frank this setup was actually genius

Even tho I'm I fan of the concept as I do use my phone with a keyboard and mouse and external display, I would hate to do it on iOS. My setup includes Galaxy S10+ with Samsung Dex, A BT Mouse and Keyboard from Logitech with built-in stand, A USB hub, a Type-C to USB A convertor, a regular USB mouse and keyboard and an external display with few SSDs and USB Drives. Dex is amazing, considering you can run full linux os inside Android using a termux, a VNC Viewer and an app like Andronix to copy and paste installation scripts, with Dex, that Linux experience is desktop like - minus the sound (possibly works but I didn't bother to). I use it to run GIMP (Photoshop open-source alternative) and work on python projects.

this could be my new Raspberry Pi 4 setup - i LOVE it

Well performed. I’m conducting the same research about phone productivity. Could a smartphone replace a notebook, the answers is, most of times. First we have to stop call this little computer a “Phone”, this thing stayed in the past with Jobs presenting his brand new mobile device. Today, “phones” or “smartphones” are truly PCs with a new kind of input experience, they may not been built to be used on desktop mode, but they can perform like a desktop as well, if you are open to a new user experience of course. Application is the highlighted viewpoint, you can perform all kind of tasks on your “mobile PC” including thing that were possible on laptops only, like video editing or photoshop. Of course you will need some auxiliary devices like keyboards, monitor and mouse, btw you are using applications that requires those tools to be handled correctly.

I use this all the time now with samsung dex and Google cloud compute....this is a game change honestly and makes you wonder why you would need to pay for a new device upfront specially if the need to use a full OS is not as often. There is a lack of support of external hard drives to backup data offline but I hope this will he fixed in the near future. Also I find google cloud compute is easier to understand for layman like me compared to azure virtual desktop. I watched one of your other videos on how to build a cloud PC on azure but digging more into it, there were some difficulties trying to setup firewall rules....I am trying to learn about that now. Nevertheless, thanks for great content...please keep up the good work teaching people about cloud computing cause I think this is the future....cheers!!

I wish I can use any other type of android phone... That was a great idea that really worth the effort surely save a lot of bucks 💰💰

Nice one but instead of monitor why can't we project our mobile screen on any surface using available apps Also is there any way one can connect mouse.

Love this! Can the home TV serve as the monitor?

I might be working on a cruise ship soon and of course I won't be able to take my desktop monster with me. So now I've got several different options... 1. Just using my phone as there will probably be computers that staff can use and most things can be and are done on a phone anyway 2. Rebuilt my very old first laptop (I'm talking 8-10 years). I know it can run windows 10 as is but it needs a new keyboard, battery (though I wouldn't necessarily need that), ram upgrade to at least 8 gb and an SSD. I calculated it once and I believe it was around 100-150€ for parts though I could probably reuse my desktops SSD e.g. . 3. Would be your portable solution which makes sense as I usually rock a flagship phone anyway 4. Buying a new/ used laptop. Thing is WiFi on those ships is expensive and sucks meaning "gaming" is out of the picture. All cabins are equipped with a tv though which I assume will have HDMI support (not sure if that can be accessed though). It's probably wise to maybe just get a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard as well as an adapter for possible connection to a tv. Depending on the cost of a portable monitor I might just get one anyway.

This is fantastic information. Very helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I use my android smartphone to access home desktop machine (Win10 Pro) through RD client. Demonstrated KB is something which seems useful. Yes, I do face issue when using finger tip on the mobile screen as a mouse pointer (especially, when I need to drag an object). It needs little bit of practice in the beginning to be familiar. I have 2 thin clients also, for kids, who access desktop machine for online classes at home.

Not sure why you wouldn't also use a bluetooth mouse? These work great with iphone and Android

Can add a mouse for ease of typing, copy/paste.

Maybe use a samsung Dex enabled phone instead of a iphone :) Usb-c and full screen is much better

It's a pretty good alternative, but I guess you need a backup phone so that one will function as a computer and the other one as a phone. It would be distracting if someone were to call you in the middle of a presentation.

My phone is more like a personal computer for me, even though I have a PC at home.

I just did this with my phone. Got it hooked up to 22 monitor. And got my laptop hooked up to 32 tv. That gives me duel monitors.

-you can use a regular mouse with it, as well

You can also hook up a mouse.

You should do a demo with Android desktop mode

I would have thought you could use a bluetooth mouse for a more desktop-like experience?

Have you tried the system with the monitor tilted vertically? Actually, I am looking for one on the iPhone 14 pro max, connecting it to a FullHD Monitor placed vertically (instead of Horizontally), as that is my requirement. Any clues, helps me pretty much!!

-also.. you wouldn't need a monitor... if you used the "flashlight video screen projector" function, would you ?? is that right ??

Superb 👍👍👍

You are just awesome 😎

What about using a specialized software like AutoCAD or STAAD etc on Azure machine? Do we need to install our specialized software on Azure?

Great presentation. But does the monitor need to be connected to a poerr source?

Good

I will use an keyboard with touchpad.

You can get a really cheap Android tablets with blue tooth key board

I'm tryin to do it

What if I use a inbuilt muse keyboard... will it 100% efficient?

I have been using a 2011 MacBook Pro and it has been supporting me quite well. I am keen to use the Windows 365 Cloud PC experience. To do so I need to download and install the Microsoft Remote Desktop. However, when I try to install - it keeps telling me

I think you forgot to mention that a lot of Android phones don't support the mirroring cable?

Can't we add a mouse by anychance

Have anybody experience with mouse's right click on Android device?

isnt the remote pc on azure cost the price of a cheap secondhand windows pc

cool !

how much money I will spend to get all the cables and keyboard?

funniest guy ever

once they figure out how to put a mouse on id switch

All well and good until I need to use applications that don’t work correctly on my phone. Like redeem a gift card from Rakuten 😭

Interesting

Remote desktop to Azure. $100+ a month!

So the key board is wireless??

I don't have internet nothing all I have is this phone 3:48

Can I integrate a KVM switch or wireless mouse?

My ex-wife keeps hacking into my phone

you still have to spend money to get the keypiad and the monitor i want a free computer on my phone

bluetooth mouse no?

Phones are grossly inferior to computers. First, phones can only use apps which usually suck, and you can't install windows software on them. Plus, they're hard on the eyes, especially for long periods of time.

Phones suck & so do computers ,"" bottom line & simply stated !!! Phones are a lot easier to use than computers personal PC's I mean like why did mine break for only doing updates necessary for any. Computers!!

I am leaving Smartphones, if Nokia does not make their comeback! 24k Battery in Dell G15 being Mobilized would do! There's A USB Adapter for 4G and 5G Sim Cards!

Just get an iPad
