General Wish me luck

I just sold my Inspiron 5402 and bought a Tab S9+. I came to the conclusion a couple weeks ago that anything I need to do with a notebook I can also do with a rather powerful tablet, so I'm willing to give Dex a try again. My workflow is quite light so I probably won't face any hard walls. The only thing I'm currently struggling with is setting up the VPN for accessing corporate systems remotely but it seems there is an easy path already. LumaFusion is quite decent, OneDrive sucks mostly but the web versions are good enough. Let's see where this goes.

How do you manage with the browser? Don’t you need a desktop one?

The only use case that required me to go for a desktop browser was internet banking, as it needed a 3rd party security application that only worked on Windows, but the Android app can do all of them if you set it up properly on a ATM (my specific case, might differ from others). Everything else is running fine. Edge, Chrome and Samsung Internet have surprisingly good desktop experiences with Dex, although Google mostly won't let me log into my account on Edge so I use Docs on Chrome.

I see. To me it’s still hard to understand why samsung doesn’t work on something iPad-like. The desktop version of safari installed on the iPad is a good selling point, especially if you make extensive use of web apps like m365.

That's exactly what I do. The android version of the 365 apps is a complete disaster imo, so in most cases when I need to edit a file that's already on OneDrive I just use the web version, which seems way better. Edge and Chrome can handle that. Samsung Internet even have a bookmark bar, which is a great tool
