I'm currently using an iPhone 5, have 11 tabs open and am streaming music from spotify. Other than occasional crashes and a tiny bit of lag, my aged phone hand

  i generally have around 50 to 100 tabs open on my phone, previously HTC One (the first m7) and now Hauwai Honor 8. Buts thats not what your parent was talking about. It takes time to close tabs on the phone. yes, its (at least on android) just swiping twice (once from the top to open the window view and then to the side to close it), but even that takes more effort than just mouse-wheel clicking on the tab. After that tab is closed, the browser needs to rebuild the new/old tab. thats even more time you wouldn't have on the desktop. everything just takes a little longer on the highly performance optimized phone, and it adds up to stop - at least me - from just going into the comments threads. especially because actually opening takes even longer, as you'd have to long press on the link to get that option. now, with this device you'd be able to actually click/close tabs as fast as on your general desktop. Suddenly, the device is no longer constrained by the slow inputs that the user is giving. And now, the phone will actually need to perform that much better with the same amount of resources. I haven't used the DeX and don't know wherever its able to handle that, but thats (i think) the thing most people hearing about it are worried about.
