Laptop replacement

Just read a little about this product. Do you guys think this would be a good compliment to the Note 2. It's supposed to retail around $200 US.

I've been waiting a long time for this, I just don't know that it will ever make it to market.

Nice
Looks interesting. I'd give it a go for 200 bucks. The iPad version seem to be getting good reviews.

looks like a macbook
i like it

I don't know if I would call it a laptop replacement. The site didn't give enough details to make a decent guess
My guess, it would be what we see with the iDevice versions or something similar to ASUS Transormer Prime/Infinity Pads. What I think you're getting is just a device just brings an Android experience to a larger screen and nicer keyboard to use. I'm almost want to say it's just going to mirror your device display.
If you're familiar with Android and normal OSs for notebooks--Windows, OSX, various Linus distros--then you'll know they're not exactly the same. Android is very capable OS, but it has it's limits compared to other OS choices
That said, it could a good choice for someone, maybe a student, for two hundred dollars. A lot will depend on what you need to use.

Looks great to me. I'd be a buyer. Even better, they should make it with a space in the back that you can pop your device in... Just order the right spacers and it should fit snugly.

Wow, holy ****. I'd buy one in a heart beat.

Did some reading on the Interwebs, and my enthusiasm is dampened. It seems that Clamcase is not a reputable company, and their products are of awful quality with nonexistent support. The idea is a fantastic one, I'd daydreamed of something similar (with a backlit keyboard and a big user replaceable SSD), but these guys are worse than vapor-ware, apparently.

disappointing to hear. I forget which company makes it, I think ASUS, where there is a smartphone and tablet combo. The phone actually goes into the tablet. This is similar except it's a laptop and USB cable or cradle.
It definitely could be useful for some.

It is Asus, and it is called the padfone.
It ain't cheap (750 or so if memory serves) and I don't know that is available in the US.

What about the Motorola Lapdock, would it work with GN2?

Nope. Lapdock has two connections, one hdmi, the other usb.

I use to use something like this for Windows Mobile called a Redfly that was more like a netbook size. This would still make sense to me except my Series 9 Ultrabook is already a better option and as thin and light as i need it to be.
The main thing missing for me in Android/iOS is the multi-window support, but if a product like this would come out and still support multi-window like the Note 2 does, it would be a good solution for not having a super light/thin but expensive ultrabook.

Wonder if it uses the old 5 pin mhl or the new one that the gn2 and gs3 use.

Guess I'll get a bluetooth keyboard trackpad combo and wait for this:

I've got a lapdock and may get the Mhl cable to see if I can get it to work. The lapdock is just use and hdmi.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app

unless both devices have MHL built into them, you'll need to get a MHL adapter.
I had no idea if the PadFone is available in the US either. I just remember the device existing and it's what device reminded me of. It's nice idea since most people are getting and using various smartphones. Why not trying to combine with something to be more robusts. I just see, as of right now, being limited because of the Android OS itself and how to apps designed and written. No mobile office suite compares to features and use to a desktop counterpart. Although, given the costs, it can me a nice alternative.
Personally, I would just get an older laptop if to fit the need. Other than maybe a need for bigger screen, I would just use a portable keyboard and stand for the phone and call it good. Not that I would recommend for writing a paper for school. I hold that statement for tablets too.

it looks like they'll be making docks for specific phones, so I imagine the note 2's dock will be the correct one. i'm guessing they'd also make a generic interface for non-so-popular phones, perhaps cable-only. In which case you can use the 11-5pin converter that Samsung sells.
i wonder how the keyboard/trackpad works. i'm guessing bluetooth?

MHL can do hdmi and usb at the same time.

Is the Pebble Steel worth it?

So, I'm really thinking about buying the Pebble Steel. Is it really worth the $250 though? Also, would you guys say this is the best smartwatch available on the market right now? Any feedback is appreciated!
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

i can't say it's the best because I've used none others and i can't say u should buy one because i don't know what you're after.
the pebble steel is, imo, a watch-lover's smartwatch. it has the design of a quality watch (besides the cheap bands). i have no interest in having a computer on my wrist, but having a remote screen to view my phone? yes please, and that's exactly what pebble makes. the steel is priced like a typical quality dumb watch. $200-300 is a good price for a well made watch with accurate time keeping and solid build quality. there does not exist another smartwatch that looks like a regular watch, that I can wear with a pair of cargo shorts, a suit, and a tuxedo. hell I don't have a dumb watch I'd wear with all attire. I basically wanted a better watch, and the steel, along with watch apps and the 3rd party pebblebits firmware has given me exactly what I want.
it's not perfect, but app and firmware updates are steady and bugs are being fixed. I don't think I could be any happier with it unless it took standard size bands.

Yes it's worth it but better wait a little bit for the new moto 360. They say that the 360 it will cost the same as the Pebble.
Tapatalked with my "refrigerator look" HTC one M8

If know already know what the Pebble is capable of, and want to pay extra for the finishing (I didn't like the first version. It looked more like a gadget toy rather than a watch), then go for the steal.
The Sony one is also pretty cool, but the steal is the best looking (so far)

Given how easily my original Pebble's screen gets marked up, the Gorilla Glass on the Steel sounds like a good idea.
That said, I'd also suggest waiting for the Motorola 360. What you can do with the Pebble is (unfortunately) so limited.

Thanks for all the feedback guys! So I went ahead and bought the Pebble Steel! I figure if I wait for the 360 then I might end up spending the money that I have set aside for a watch on something else. Haha. If I decide I want the 360 later I can just sell the Pebble and pay the difference. I'm an impatient guy. Haha.

I've found it easier to McGyver my own custom high quality band to cure the cringe I get from the band that came with the device.

know a friend who purchased it thinking it'd look slick.. He is tremendously disappointed. When i saw it it didnt look all that great and the materials used didnt feel great . I have the original pebble and it feels much much better than that..

owner of both....i definitely think it's worth the upgrage....feels a lot more solid, looks a bit more professional....and now i see best buy will be carrying them for $229...to me, totally worth it

looks great.
there is a lot of good info at the official pebble forums regarding bands and quality and such. there are a handful of kickstarters making accessories and even watch band adapters allowing for standard sized bands to be used. if I wear out the standard metal band I will probably buy an adapter and find a standard band to replace it. Joe Pesci knows I have enough unused watches to 'steel' a band from.

I would have to say its totally worth it. I wear it all the time.

Yes it is!

It is definitely worth it.
My dad and I own a jewelry company so I buy all my watches wholesale. I had 42 at last count and I'm starting to think I should see a counselor. I go to the closet to decide what I want to wear and I can make the choice of anything from a cheap Fossil to a Citizen Eco-Drive to a Rolex Deep Sea. I pick my Pebble Steel for regular wear 99% of the time.
That's not to say that the Steel has the same "quality" as the Rolex by any means but for every day wear and use the Steel is actually quite a bit better. It's right there with every watch in it's price segment and matches up quite well even with watches in the $600-700 range.
The only glaring thing I don't like is the band but it's no worse than anything else typical for its price point.

ClamCase for Nexus?

Hi there.
I was curious as to whether there was a product like the ClamCase Pro for the N7, or just 7 inch tablets in general. I know they're coming out with one eventually, but it's not available yet.
I know you can hack the Motorola Atrix to work with phones and all that, and possibly the Nexus as well, but am more interested in simply mounting a tablet into a laptop case.

Not sure whether you're still in the market for one or not, but this one from MiniSuit piqued my interest and seems to fit your description pretty nicely:
minisuit[DOT]com/p-1290-bluetooth-keyboard-stand-case-for-google-nexus-7-1st-gen-2012-rubberized-back.aspx
I don't post too often so it won't let me post the full link, but check it out. It beats the folding "rooCASE" I have now, which is a floppy $10 polyurethane nightmare.

In my university the teachers use powerpoints and want that us print the powerpoints, but also can use tablets. So to see the powerpoints and take notes. I think is good. Right ?

But also said that i can use the tablet. That is why i'm asking this

The Nexus 9 is cool, but I really don't have any interest in buying one. I'm fine with my LG G Pad 8.3, plus I'm not so sure about the 4:3 screen ratio. Seems weird for an Android device.
The Nexus 6 or S or Shamu or whatever it'll be called, however, will be my next device. Coincidentally, my wage garnishment just ended, so I'll be able to save up for one without having to wait until next tax season.

You should take a look at the Samsung Note series. Yeah, I know, they're not the greatest when it comes to development and custom ROMs and whatnot. But the S Pen works great, and not only can it convert what you scribble into text, they have a "formula" mode that accurately converts your writing into equations and such. Pencil and paper is probably best for working things out, but once you're done, you can transcribe it to the Note and have it all nice and neat.

I know the Note 10.1 2014 Edition has what I'm talking about. I don't know of the Note 8.0, or the Note 3 or Note 4 phones have it or not.

Depending on price! I will be buying the nexus 9 on the release date. Hopefully next week 15th 16th and will be keeping an eye on HTC event today in new York! But I can not see HTC revealing a nexus project. Both devices look great on paper, the nexus 6 looks and sound great I understand there seems to be a large number of people saying its to large. I had a note 3 at 5.7 inches which I thought was to big but I was pleasantly surprised the nexus 6 is a most practically the same size minus the bezels of the note 3. Don't knock it to you have tried it in hand!

Nexus 6, or newer device?

I'm looking at upgrading my current device and have been eyeing the nexus 6 on that amazon sale for a little while now. I just want to ask for some opinions. is this device still worth a buy, or should I look at waiting for the new nexus devices (the 5x really doesn't interest me a whole lot, but maybe I'm missing something there) or should I get the moto x pure edition over the nexus 6? Thank you for any thoughts on the matter.

As a purchaser of 2 of these over the past month let me be the first to say buy this now. For the price they are talking now you can't find a better deal anywhere. This device is still better than half of the newer devices out. Go for it brah! You won't be disappointed.

I would get the Moto X Pure. It's slightly smaller than the Nexus 6, $400, and has a micro SD slot.

I just realized if you build it from the regular Moto X with 64 GB of storage, it's $100 cheaper than if you go to the Moto X Pure page. Weird.

Since the N6 I do not use my N7 anymore, and hardly the PC.
Because rooting is easy and also customizing with the help of dev's here I choose the N6.
Some minor points:
- Magnet sensor can't be switched of;
- slippery; a (hard) case is need for better grip
- back is not flat, that's not handy when using qi-pad.

The Moto X that is $100 cheaper, is last year's model, the Moto X 2014. The Pure is the 2015 model, which is why it is more expensive.

Just got mine for 300€ - can't think of anything better at that rate. Predecessor was a Oneplus One, also cheap but total crap displaywise.

I don't know if u should stay with my lg g4 or go to nexus 6 I like themes I'm lg g4 but don't know if nexus 6 has that

In the rom Cyanide-L you can shut off the magnet. Under display there are smart cover options that you can shut off.... I use it because I slipped some metal plates under the battery cover for my magnetic car mount and don't want it to shut off.

I have a magnetic car mount too.
About the rom. I am hesitating.
The coming update of Android M is using RRO/layers. CM has a different theme engine.
BTW I solved the 'magnet screen off issue' with an ultra thin case. With superglue I mounted a metal plate about 1cm below the M-logo at the back of the N6.

I'd say the N6. I had the Moto X 2015 which was about $450 with tax. I returned it and got the N6 brand new shipped for $300. Yes newer phones have newer stuff on them. But with that said the newer stuff is basically just a slightly faster CPU, and that is pretty much it. The N6 is a year old yet spec wise its still one of the faster and best phones you can get and at the current price its a no brainier...
