That’s fine but that’s not total cost of ownership, that’s the initial price of the device.
Are you seriously trying to compare these results when the game can't even recognize the driver? That Lenovo retails at more than twice the base M1 Air and $1100 more than the maxed out M1 Air. Would anyone bill a Macbook Air as a gaming laptop? So then how in the world is this a real-world comparison? Maybe attempt something realistic? Better yet, load up the game in Linux and be sure to not install any video drivers - then you'll have a "real world" comparison.These are real world results rather than specs or useless synthetic benchmarks. 20fps on my MBA M1 vs 111fps on Lenovo Legion Slim 7.

So let me get this straight. Samsung is gaming the benchmark scores by not putting the processor in hyper mode but by throttling every app except the benchmark app. ??And the disparity in real world performance is likely even worse.
Samsung caught throttling 10,000 phone apps—and its own home screen
Samsung’s “Game Optimizing Service” throttles just about every app you can think of.
You can feel as many things as you want but it's quite obvious the reason you are against Dex and are bothered when people mention Dex is just because it's not a feature present on any Apple device, it's not something Apple implemented and endorses so you are against it. I mean its fascinating how quick you were to suggest that Apple's non-existing AR glasses are the solution for what I've described in one of my comments above. That was just ridiculous
Also his point was just to demonstrate that from a practical stand point there are plenty o potentially interested people in such a feature and he makes this point as a counter to you generalist insistence than nobody would really use such a feature just because you look at it from an extremely biased point of view.
There are a lot of great usage scenarios for Dex, from using it for Productivity, Office, Data Bases, Graphic design, edit 4k Videos on a proper big screen to turning the phone into a veritable game console for mobile games or emulated games.
It says in the clip at one point. "It allow you utilize that chipset's power to it's true potential", "It allows you to push the phone much further than you normally would". This was my point from the start, this was the point of the user than first mentioned Dex(as the subject of this thread is smartphone performance), it's a feature that allows the user to take advantage of the phone's SOC true potential.
He also said "I've been doing this for nearly a week and I'm absolutely hooked on it", so there you have it, you can easily make use of Dex for extended periods of time.
The galaxy fold is still way smaller than even the iPad mini, so I am not sure what sort of tablet it is supposed to replace. Nor am I sold on the utility of Dex, or the feasibility of requiring an external monitor to get the most out of it when people are increasingly working on mobile devices like laptops.
Thank you for sharing these personal thoughts with me. I don't think there is any shame in using the best tools available for the work that you do. In a way, it reminds me of how my parents told me to finish up my food and how there are people starving in other parts of the world. Whether I finish the food on my plate or not has zero impact on the plight of these people elsewhere; it's really more of a reminder to be thankful for what we currently enjoy, but it should not guilt-trip us into settling for anything less than what we are able to afford.
