Technology is great when it works, but nothing is more frustrating than when a piece of tech we rely on stops working. I’ve had a bad time of that lately, with my original Pixelbook completely dying and my 13th-gen Intel gaming PC succumbing to the dreaded microcode issue. The latter is covered by warranty, but as it was a PC I built myself, I’ve had to send the affected components off, and I’ll be without them for a few weeks. Left without a computer to work on, I turned to Samsung DeX on my Galaxy Tab S10 Plus, hoping it could save the day when connected to my monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Is Samsung DeX mature enough to become my main computer after eight years? I was curious to find out.
