I have met zero other DeX users, but know a ton of people with devices that support it. I currently have two extra docks and have offered to set up friends with a DeX setup ... they don't want a computer or understand how their phone and a TV and keyboard become one.
So I don't know if this will eat anyone's lunch, because I thought DeX would have proven the market if it existed.
Wouldn't they give these people iPads?
Google devices have generally been expensive compared to the market, had abysmal hardware QA/QC, mediocre performance per dollar, and have been bricked by updates repeatedly. If they get updates at all.
iPads, on the other hand...
This is conflating what has been said in techy reviews and forums like this as if this is how the average technology buyer feels.
iPads are everywhere. Literally, they come with cars as digital manuals, they're on walls in houses, they're used for cash registers, they're used in medical offices... people think of "computers" as something hooked to a monitor on a desk, and most people don't want anything to do with one.
