  • Is it possible to use DeX on my 2019 iMac via my S7+ Tab?
    Possibly! If you go to http://samsung.com/us/explore/dex/, you can still download the Dex Mac app. It didn't work on my Mac with S22, but people have been able to get it to work with S21 and older even after they dropped support. You'll need to connect a USB C cable from your tab S7+ to the Mac, as it doesn't support wireless. Source: almost 2 years ago

  • First Keychron. So far really happy.
    Looks to me like a Mountie+ which I’ve always wanted to try. I don’t use my laptop enough though…. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Using a Mountie Plus to mount an iPad Pro 11 to a MacBook Pro with mini LED?
    Has anyone used a Mountie Plus to clip an iPad Pro 11 to a M1 MacBook Pro with mini LED? Would the clip damage the mini LED screen? All the reviews and photos I have seen online seem to use older MacBooks, not a mini LED screen with Apple Silicon. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Is anyone using the iPad Air with a Mountie clip (or similar) as a second screen?
    I have a new MacBook Air M1, and I'm thinking of getting an iPad Air with a Mountie+ clip (it's the successor to the original Mountie clip) and using it with Sidecar as a second screen. Source: about 2 years ago
  • 20k DeXperts strong, Thanks, and Giveaway inside
    TenOne Designs was kind enough to be the first vendor to offer to help us with this celebration. They’ll be donating a Mountie bundled with a Mountie Plus. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Need solution for using iPad Pro as second screen with new iMac
    With iOS 15.4 and the ability to share mouse and keyboard with a nearby iPad, I am trying to find a solution to "mount" the iPad to the side of the display. Trying to keep it as clean as possible. This device would be perfect, but it only supports laptop monitors (https://tenonedesign.com/mountieplus.php). Any suggestions? Source: about 2 years ago
