Galaxy Z Fold 5 vs OnePlus Open? Samsung is finally facing some foldable competition in the USA. TK Bay joins me to chat about two of the most powerful mini-tablets available on the market today. We’re not declaring a “winner”, but let’s chat about what phone is a better fit for you!

OnePlus Open vs Surface Duo 2!
My favorite folding tablets have given us better tools for multi-tasking! The Open is a STELLAR piece of hardware, but can we still learn a few things from Microsoft’s tablet style? Continue reading “OnePlus Open vs Surface Duo 2: An Unfair Folding Phone Fight…”
OnePlus Open first look!
We’re getting WORK done on our folding phones, and I’m taking a look at what it’s been like to use this mini-tablet on a couple trips! This is a BEAST of a foldable, but is a mini-tablet the right fit for you?
Tablets are “solutions in search of problems”, but let’s chat about what problems this thing can really solve!

We have to start this off asking a MAJOR question:
Putting my bias up front, I’m not particularly impressed with tablet conversations fixated on basic use and “hand feel”. I don’t think that’s good criteria to judge the value of a premium purchase. If a tablet costs as much or more than a game console, it needs to do more than just stream some Netflix and “feel nice”.
Tablets have incredible processors, and GPUs, and RAM, and storage, and batteries. In a remarkably thin shell, we’ll find performance that often rivals similarly priced Chromebooks. These products are terrific general compute platforms, and it seems like such a waste to relegate them to the lowest level use.
Tablets are “solutions in search of problems”, but they can solve a LOT more of those problems than many people realize.
Tablets can DO stuff, and these two are great examples of “doing stuff” slates. They make for an interesting comparison because they’re so different. Continue reading “Pixel Tablet vs Robo and Kala: A Totally UNFAIR Fight!”
No? Not really? I dunno?
I’m spending a bit more time right now putting the Pixel Fold through its paces, but at the same time, trying to play with this pretty new tablet! An early stream of conscious impression, there’s ONE critical question that itches my brain.
A little personal background, my Wife and I are not super fond of “always listening” products in our home.
We chose Playstation over XBox because Marie didn’t like the idea of the voice actions and cameras on the XBox. We’re probably a little reactionary in that regard, but we’ve never really jumped on the smart speaker train either.
Considering the assistant integration on modern phones and tablets, it’s something we’ve been considering a bit more, and Marie has found some situations where she thinks she would have appreciated a mini-screen displaying relevant info on request.

Robo and Kala makes a fantastic convertible laptop!
Sleek, lightweight, and using a Qualcomm chip, we get fantastic battery life. Robo and Kala are sponsoring this video to look at Windows on ARM performance, but we should also do a LITTLE bit of a comparison. Can the Robo and Kala beat Microsoft at their own game? This computer is built with an OBVIOUS competitor in mind. I was a big fan of the Surface Pro 9 5G…
It’s time for a showdown! Continue reading “Robo and Kala 2 in 1 Laptop: A Surface Pro 9 Killer?”
Doing something silly! OnePlus Pad vs Razer Edge!
What is a “gaming tablet”? What is a “productivity” tablet? I think it’s time for a comparison, and this battle is a LITTLE different than what we normally see. If someone wants a “companion computer”, to take some load off a phone or a laptop, what might help them make a purchasing decision? Continue reading “TABLET FIGHT! Gaming vs Work – OnePlus Pad vs Razer Edge”
Tablet vs Laptop!
The OnePlus Pad is a solid buy for a high performance tablet, but can it unseat a PROPER computer? The Surface Laptop GO 2 is a beautiful student-grade laptop. Let’s test some of the performance and the battery life! Will you get a better performance per dollar with the laptop? Continue reading “OnePlus Pad vs a Low Cost Laptop! Can it beat a Surface Laptop Go 2?”
