I have an Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo as my main home and travel computer. I am upgrading my Samsung Ultra Note 20 to a Samsung Fold 5. I can work off of my Note now, and leave the Asus laptop at the place I am staying. I spent 6 months in Saudi Arabia working this way. You can run MS 365 and Dex on the phone. I use the Note to annotate photos in the field and to annotate during Zoom calls. I've typed proposals, spreadsheets, and more just on the phone. Because I do CAD, physics sims, and rendering, I can't lose the laptop, but for everything else, I could get away with the phone. I think the Fold 5 will make it even more capable for what I use it for. I still have a 2015 iPad Pro, a 2011 27 in. iMac, but I've left the Apple ecosystem for a while now. Android, Windows, and Linux for me mainly in that order.
- rcarr 3y agoI came close to purchasing a fold this year but I find the decision to have a camera bump absolutely bizarre. If they just added a few extra millimetres to the case it would then sit flat on the table rather than rocking about, which means you could then use the pen with it properly as a note taking device. I can understand having camera bumps on phones, but it seems really weird here given that this is meant to be a phone that can also replace your tablet.
- eggy 3y agoThe case that fits the pen remedies this I am told. I'll have to confirm.
