Xiaomi Mi Pad 5: PC/Desktop Mode! Transform To PC With Just ONE CLICK! GENIUS!

[@ervins6611]

Similar to Samsung's Dex Mode, but kudos to Xiaomi for putting so much effort into the tablet department

[@dodman0907153500]

not at all as dex. whole point of dex is optimalization for external display and dual screen operation. this is just android reskined to look like desktop os...

[@mawkzin]

@mathetes I don't know about these markets, but xiaomi left me out without update on my xiaomi pad 4 so I'm not trust this company sooner with tablets, Samsungs on the other hand continuous to push tablets even when other companys abandon this market.

[@ninjatunar4519]

@@mawkzin the pad 4 is too old and slow to handle updates due to how obsolete snap 660 is

[@LocPham-d3u]

This is literally shet vs Dex, Dex is so much more useful and practical.

[@Jeraldkang]

Since most of the productivity apps don't work on fullscreen for now, I don't think it's useful for people who wants to use it as a Laptop alternative (In PC Mode). However if they do update the software/app then I could see this being a game changer for those tight on a budget who wants the versatility of an iPad/MiPad with Laptop features. Anyway, another great video Lim!

[@LimReviews]

Yo man! Not to be confused, but the productivity app DOES work in full screen when not in the PC mode 🤣 The PC mode needs optimizing as the apps themselves support full screen.

[@sparra98]

They do work in the full screen, just not in the PC mode yet

[@Jeraldkang]

@@LimReviews No worries, I'm not confused. I'm well aware that they work well as separate apps in fullscreen with plenty of functions. What I meant was about the PC mode lacking fullscreen for those apps. haha

At this point I'm wondering why we don't have Android PCs. Yes, I know, we have Chromebooks, but I'd really prefer a PC like experience via Android. And so would 10 billions students world wide I suspect.

[@v000000000000v]

coz android has really bad tablet apps, most of them don't have full tablet support and are just scaled up phone apps

[@screenplayhouse4932]

@@v000000000000v Excellent point. And yet you can't expect such apps without the hardware interest first. Any TV Box could become a sort of 'basic' PC. It would be awesome.

Because for the same hardware Linux is better experience in desktop mode. And it's actually use less resource compare with android. Also It's rare to find android app with desktop in mind.

[@misterpotato4775]

To me, it's very interesting how many in Asia learn English. In Russia, I think it's less than 10% know English. 💀 I'm seeing the Xiaomi Pad 5 in my Lazada feed again. So, I've been looking to see how the size comparison is to phones. The PC mode is great. Much easier to use a tablet portably. Lol. Plus, the drawing aspect. I wonder if it'll handle computer software without doing special tweaks. Lol. It's under 8k for the 12 GB RAM 520 GB or whatever normal one. I saw a 6 is already out, but I've not seen it in Lazada. Burp Suite is the most used hacking app, and it's on Windows. Linux terminal is available in Windows from the Microsoft Store. It's still in my Windows 11, but I rarely use Windows 11. Android is Linux, but I'm wondering what it has. Google Play store is limited in Linux stuff.

[@vivshij1349]

I hope they really work on this n improve it further coz the potential for this PC mode is just 🤯🤯🤯🔥🔥

[@kamranki]

Yes, Android devs should definitely start optimizing apps for tab mode. Also it's a bummer that Mi Pad5 can't connect to an external display via USB.

Well most of the students use laptops for either productivity apps or games or entertainment..there are enough games in tablets and can be played well, all entertainement apps exist in android/apple store. If productivity apps as well can be run in tablets efficiently and to the fullest, then no point of buying laptops separately.
