Turn Your Phone Into a Laptop With The New NEXDOCK Wireless! Works With Steam Deck

[@GregsGameRoom]

This is something I envisioned about 8 years ago when setting up a bunch of desktops in a computer lab. I thought, "One day the kids will just link their phones to this keyboard and monitor and we won't have to set up all these PCs up anymore."

[@petepaxton5109]

I got one for $229 and I love it. I sometimes plug in my Switch but I mostly use it with my Galaxy phone with Dex. I am surprised how fast it is. Everything runs so well and the cool thing is when I upgrade my phone, I also upgrade my laptop. And I don't ever have to use my phone as a hotspot or try and connect it to wifi when I'm out and about. My phone is 5g so my laptop is always 5g - Awesome!

[@MegaManNeo]

I want a NexDock for months especially since I own an AyaNeo and a SteamDeck and now my friend's old S20 too. This is a pretty neat upgrade, especially for casual tasks.

[@zaraza.]

If you already have a tablet then its cheaper to use it instead. I've tested an ipad as external screen for my steam deck and it works well. Unless you of course prefer a larger screen.

[@soul3lixir]

Neat. I was checking out the standard 360 a while ago. Just pulled the trigger on this one. The option to use wired or wireless is awesome!

[@lezzard]

This product category is so cool! I just wish for some key improvements such as: - 45W power delivery over USB-C. Both on battery and passthrough. - 15.6" or 17.3" screen with 120Hz / 144Hz refresh rate for gaming. - Configurable charge limit to extend the life of the internal battery. - Being able to turn off power delivery to the host device. This avoids constant charging it when not needed. - Slot for full-size SD cards that sits flush. - Perhaps a full size USB, Ethernet and/or HDMI out for extra convenience.

[@BitterCurrant]

You're basically comparing the NexDock with the UPerfect X Pro.... And this is exactly what we need for companies to do! Competition in a given space fosters innovation

[@kaptmart]

This changes things for portable computers (smartphones, steam deck, etc).. The productivity I can now do when paired up to laptop-like docks will make my Windows PC/Laptop useless. I no longer need to transfer files here & there. This has a lot of potential! This is the future! WOW!

[@bountoj]

The steamdeck + the nexdock have been a sweet setup while I was recovering from hip surgery. When the steamdeck needed to charge, I would just use my phone and steam link to game. Nexdock is also great for setting up computers without needing a lot.

[@anonimuso]

I would like to see a 17" version of this. Don't know what the demand for it would be, but I hate working on small screen laptops. But of course 17" ones tend to be bulky and heavy. But since there's not much they need to put inside thus reducing the weight and bulkiness, I could see people finding it an intriguing option.

[@nickthaskater]

Meanwhile, I want an 11" version.

[@Shelboooooo]

If they added a larger battery and upped the passthrough output to 45watts that would be awesome.

[@otm646]

I ran CAD on a 17" laptop for years. You are far better off with a 15" laptop and one of the portable monitors for anything productivity related.

[@liamness]

If OLED monitors prove to not be too bad from a burn in POV, I'd like to see rollable portable monitors become an option. Pack a bluetooth keyboard, use the phone's screen as a trackpad, and you would have an incredibly portable working setup. Even if burn protection wasn't good enough for work use, could still be useful for gaming / watching video.

Personally, I am hoping to see NexDock make something with a higher refresh display to be used with next gen consoles, mini PCs, and custom ITX rigs. When wireless mode goes MM wave 1080p60 and the latency is low enough, then the gaming experience could be next level.

[@r3troid]

Looks decent I like that you dont need to connect extra keyboard or mouse to use with your phone every thing in one package and the idea to turn steam deck to laptop is great especially if you want to use it as replacement of your laptop. Another good idea if you can connect this with mini pc and turn it to laptop with power bank

[@farishanafiah8461]

Yup, mini PC and PC stick can truly benefit from this kind of gadget. Of course you can have separate accessories, but something like this where it's all integrated in a shell is definitely welcome.

[@csolisr]

Besides of the slow wireless connection (which is understandable given the technology), my only other gripes are the lack of a place to put the phone on while being used, and the less than ideal placement of the ports on the side instead of the back for minimal cable overhang. Having the whole phone and cable bundle dangling around isn't that ideal...

[@FAT8893]

Still an interesting idea. The wireless connection doesn't seem so useful, but if it had full power pass-through, and a full size USB-a port instead of the sd slot, it would be a decent docking station solution.

[@anonimuso]

Agreed. The wireless doesn't seem that useful unless it got better specs in the future (higher refresh, less latency).

[@zakkwyldesdmf13]

I actually like that because it's always a bummer when I switch between tablet and smartphone when playing emulation stuff. With this your phone is the "heart" of everything, yet you can use it like a tablet.

[@farishanafiah8461]

Exactly. Standalone tablet may give a larger screen in the first place, but not everyone is going to bring it all the time. Having something like this means that you can easily disconnect the phone when going out without having to bring a large display.

[@hassosigbjoernson5738]

This could get interesting *when google implements a desktop mode into their android ecosystem* so I could use it with my Pixel 7. And the price could be more like 200 - 220 bucks to be attractive to me. Otherwise I always liked the "Padfone" use case scenario! This does make the phone more important when traveling though (single point of failure) and removes the idea of a backup device. But it also brings more convenience by just having one set of data and finding the same apps as one my phone.

[@bd360_online]

We absolutely want all the phone brands to make desktop mode like what Samsung (Samsung did with Dex but only for flagships), Motorola (they already did on some phones, I think), and Nubia (Console Mode on Red Magic phones) did. Google is prepping desktop mode for android, but why wait when manufacturers should do it now like what these three manufacturers did.

[@farishanafiah8461]

LG, Huawei, and Honor also have their own Desktop Mode. Some brands like Sony, Vivo, and OnePlus do give wired video output despite not building their own Desktop Mode.

[@0x0404]

[@legerdemain]

This is pretty great, but the 15w pass through does kneecap it for the steam deck. I guess you could use an external dock. I'm guessing those hinges let it go tent mode and play the role of simple secondary display to a laptop. Samsung or some other major brand not making laptop docks is the industry decision that makes the least sense to me.

[@stevenolson3977]

Would be a bit messier, but this would be perfect for handhelds that have more than 1 USB C port. I wouldn't mind paying a little extra (maybe upwards of 500 USD) for a solution that had 100 watt pass thru, 120hz screen (without touch), decent speakers, low pro mechanical keyboard. Basically, one of those newer gaming chromebooks but without the motherboard. Add a DIsplayPort input for eGPU. Using one core computing device for multiple interaction experiences and performance tiers is what appeals to me greatly. Cloud syncing and what not is great, but *not* having to do that is better :P

[@BitterCurrant]

Agreed. Those companies probably don't see it (yet!) as viable use cases. In the meantime, there's a surge of USB hubs and docks available via Amazon and AliExpress

As someone that likes niche tech for niche situations, and use my phone for everything. Like seriously, I use my phone as a computer replacement, I used it to hack my 3DS and Vita, I use it with my hard drives, I use it with my TV as a portable console (you can download a TV friendly launcher), I even have a Windows emulator so I can boot/run some x86 .exe apps. I even got the Lenovo Yoga 13 with the HDMI input so that I could have an Android tablet as a monitor for my PC. Like clearly I do niche things with Android. But I'm still trying to wrap my head who needs this. I get it that Android phones can have a "desktop" mode, but my issue is there are TV's & monitors everywhere. With a USB-C/HDMI/Dock cord, wouldn't you just use any screen you see, as your monitor? Like pretty sure with some smart shopping, $350+ tax, the cost you'd spend on this, you could a decent mid-range laptop that could do what dex could do but better (except for gaming), and probably get an app or dock that could mirror your phone anyway to said laptop for the Android desktop os anyway. Looks cool, but it's price for it's function has me scratching my head, because I'm never in a situation where there isn't a TV that I could just plug my phone into.

using it for the steam deck is the most backwards thing I have ever seen. its brilliant for your phone of course but the steam deck though. plug a portable device into a less portable but cumbersome device and use a controller when vie already head all of that built into the steam deck to begin with. its really 1 step forward and two steps back. the nexdock is to expensive to really justify in most occasions but its still smart.

SteamOS is based on Arch Linux and there's PC Mode in Steam Deck, so I totally doubt it's a bad thing.

we just need laptop with dedicated chip for these kind of thing, a dedicated operating system that manage it. maybe wifi 7 in the future. and ofc, the price, it need to be cheaper.

I wonder if you have the steam dock and the nexdock if it would work. Would love to have the ports on the dock and then just type c out to the nexdock. Could you test this?

@ETA Please check your first sentence in the video description.

Paired with mini pc such as Beelink, perfection.

Not at $300 for this laptop dock. You can actually get a full low end laptop at this price.

[@jeckjeck6943]

why not just use a portable monitor with a mini pc ? you can find the size you want for half the price of this thing, usb powered by your mini pc.

looks good, im probably being picky but i dislike that chunky bezel at the bottom of the display, screen looks weird to me because of it.

Check the potential typo in the description... "NexDick" seems like it may not be what you intended...
