Goodbye, iPad: My Galaxy Note with Sam - 手機討論

前言：
其實有點猶豫要用新聞還是情報格式，
考慮到我會依序翻譯外加一些心得，
我就用情報格式，而且文章內容也不是真的新聞，而是作者的心得。
這系列的文章大概有3~4篇，
我會慢慢翻 給仍在猶豫要使用iPad, Surface Pro還是Samsung Dex的板友作參考：

最近我也正在為了到底要買iPad Pro 2018，還是等下一代，還是買Tab S6，甚至買三星手機陷入困難抉擇；
這系列文章一方面翻給自己看；另一方面，畢竟板上最近戰這麼兇又被水桶一片，
正是時候來點對採購決定有幫助的心得了xD

(不過請注意，這個時候還沒有iPad OS，所以當新的OS橫空出世可能情況有所改變。)

Goodbye, iPad: My Galaxy Note with Samsung DeX does way more for less
再見了，唉配：我的Galaxy Note搭配三星Dex能夠用更少(錢或資源或方法)來做得更多

How does a smartphone connected via an HDMI cable to a monitor deliver more
productivity than an iPad Pro 11 -- while also saving me hundreds of dollars?
Like this.
如何透過接條HDMI線到外接顯示器的智慧型手機就能釋放出比iPad Pro 11更多的生產力
─同時讓我省下數百美金呢？就像這樣。


With the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 launch tomorrow at Unpacked, I've been using
my Note 9 in preparation for the Note 10 upgrade. Readers may also know I
recently bought an iPad Pro 11. Using these two devices made me realize that
one was redundant for my home computing and ZDNet writing needs.

為了明日的三星Note10發表會開箱，我已經用上我的Note 9來為Note 10升級作準備。
讀者可能也知道我最近買了一台iPad Pro 11，同時用了這兩台機器，
讓我瞭解到哪一台對我的家用事務處理和ZDNet寫作需求是多餘的。

While I use a Surface Pro 6 for my engineering work, in addition to my weekly
podcasting with Kevin Tofel, I prefer to have a different setup for my home
computer and ZDNet tech writing. I explained how the iPad was going to
satisfy that role and it can indeed get the job done. However, my Note 9 with
Samsung DeX has proven to perform the role better than the iPad Pro 11 while
also saving me hundreds of dollars.

當我用上了Surface Pro 6作為工程作業需求(不知道是資工還是其他工程)時，外加我還得
參與每周與Kevin Tofel的廣播，我偏愛使用另一個裝置來作為我的家用電腦和ZDNet科技新聞寫作使用。

(於另篇文章，之後翻譯)我之前解釋了iPad如何成功的扮演了這個角色而它確實可以讓工作完成；
然而，我的Note 9搭配三星Dex也被證明了它可以表現得比iPad Pro 11更出色同時省下我數百美元。

So how does a smartphone connected via an HDMI cable to a monitor work better
for me than an iPad Pro 11? Let's take a look at the tasks I need this home
office setup to do, check the apps on both platforms, and detail why I find
DeX works better for me.

所以說對我而言如何透過接條HDMI線到外接螢幕的智慧型手機就能比iPad Pro 11更好的工作呢？
讓我們來看看這些我需要在這台家庭辦公用的機台上所需要完成的任務，
檢查在兩平台上所擁有的應用程式，
以及為什麼我發現在Dex上對我工作更好之細節。

Connect to a large external display: I was pleasantly surprised when I
plugged the iPad Pro 11 to the Aukey USB-C hub and the iPad display appeared
on my 21.5 inch Dell touchscreen display. It only appeared in a smaller
window and it simply duplicated the iPad display, but it worked without any
effort. However, when I plug in the Note 9 to that same USB-C hub, the full
DeX interface appears across the entire display. The touchscreen capability
of the display is enabled, many apps can be used at once all over the
display, and the effectiveness of my work methods skyrockets.

連接到一個更大的外部顯示：
我很驚奇且愉悅地發現，
當我把iPad Pro 11接上Aukey USB-C 集線器上時iPad的畫面出現在我的21.5吋Dell觸控面板。
它只呈現出一個比螢幕小的視窗且它只能複製(鏡象)iPad的畫面，但不用任何其他的步驟。

然而，當我接上三星Note 9到同樣的集線器時，完整的Dax介面顯示在整個螢幕上。
觸控螢幕的相容性也是正常的，許多的應用程式也可以在整個螢幕上面被同時使用，
而當然我的工作(方法的)效率也就一飛衝天啦~

Text editor: I use TextPad on a Windows computer. On the iPad I was using
OneNote, Evernote, and Apple's Notes program to write text for articles.
Samsung has the QuickEdit app included as part of DeX and that is what I used
to write this article. It closely mirrors my TextPad experience and is nearly
perfect for me. I can resize the window and have it set up side-by-side with
the browser to get writing done.

文本編輯器：(看到最後發現應該是資工的文本編輯)
我在Windows電腦上使用TextPad。在iPad上面我使用OneNote、Evernote以及蘋果的筆記軟體
來撰寫文本內容。
三星有著QuickEdit應用程式，它在Dex上也能使用，而也正是我用來寫這篇文章所用的。
它和我的TextPad體驗高度相似且於我而言近乎完美。
我可以重新調整視窗大小且讓它整齊的與瀏覽器並排以完成寫作。

Basic photo editing: I had a process on the iPad to download article photos I
captured and perform some basic editing and resizing that was about eight
steps long. With the Note 9 and DeX I can do the editing right in the Samsung
image gallery app and then use Photo Compress Pro to resize the photos for
the CMS. That's all that needs to be done to get that work done on a Samsung
phone.

基本相片編輯：
我有個在iPad上要下載我擷取的文章相片和執行一些基本編輯和調整尺寸大概要花上8個步驟左右的流程。
有了Note 9和Dex我可以在三星圖片畫廊(圖片簿)裡直接編輯
接著使用Photo Compress Pro來重新調整給CMS(??内容管理系統Content Management System?我不確定)使用的相片尺寸。
這即是在三星手機上將這工作完成所僅需作的。



Mouse and keyboard support: It's important for my writing to have full
external keyboard support and mouse support is helpful. There is solid
keyboard performance on iPads today, but the strange accessibility mouse
target is not very functional. The external Bluetooth keyboard and mouse
support with DeX is perfect. I also love that the delete button works, which
is always something that bothers me on iPad keyboards.

滑鼠和鍵盤支援：
對我的寫作而言有著完全的外接鍵盤、滑鼠支援是有幫助的。現今iPad的鍵盤表現是可靠的，
但是在滑鼠指標的奇怪相容性導致它不泛用。
外接的藍芽鍵盤和滑鼠搭配Dex則是完美的。
我同樣也喜愛刪除鍵(delete)能用，這個在iPad鍵盤上總成為困擾我的事。


Apps: iPad apps are fantastic when working in a tablet environment and even
though the same apps are on Android, they just aren't as good on the phone.
However, the Samsung DeX system enhances apps for a desktop experience so you
get apps that are optimized for a big external monitor. These include the
Samsung Internet browser, Email app, My Files browser, and more. I looked
through all the apps I have installed on the iPad and did not find anything
missing on the Galaxy Note 9 so there are no compromises being made when it
comes to apps.

應用程式：
iPad應用程式在平板環境下使用是出色的，
與安卓的同樣應用程式比起來，它們就沒有像在手機上那麼好(安卓平板應用程式不好的意思)。
然而，三星Dex系統為了桌面體驗增強了應用程式因此你可以在外接的大顯示器上得到
最佳化過的應用程式體驗。這些包含了三星網路瀏覽器、Email應用程式、我的檔案瀏覽器、
以及更多。我看遍了所有我裝在iPad上面的應用程式而沒有一個在Note 9上面是找不到的，
因此在提到應用程式上，也沒有對此有所妥協(犧牲)。


In addition, the setup I am looking for needs to function well on my commute,
while on business travel, and while out and about. The Note 9 is much smaller
than the iPad Pro 11 so there is a compromise in the display size, but
because of its size it fits on the train easier than the iPad. I just ordered
a small foldable Bluetooth keyboard to do some basic writing with the Note 9
and it was only $30, compared to more than $100 for most iPad keyboards.

此外，我在尋找的裝置需要能適合我的通勤狀況，例如在出差和外出走動時。
Note 9比iPad Pro 11小多了因此它在顯示尺寸上面妥協了，但也因此更適合在火車上使用。
我也剛訂購了一個小型的藍芽摺疊鍵盤來搭配Note9作一些基本的寫作，它只要$90鎂，
跟大部分要超過$100鎂的iPad鍵盤比起來(是便宜多了)。

(參見：我對iPad機型的追尋：太小，太大和剛剛好，之後會翻)


Lastly, I can also use VMware's Horizon Client to get into my VDI solution at
my engineering company with DeX if I leave my Surface Pro in the office or
need full access to my work server while on the go. The iPad can also gain
this access, but without full mouse support the experience is more limited.

最後，如果我把Surface Pro留在辦公室或是當我在移動時需要存取到我工作伺服器的完整權限時，
我也可以在公司搭配Dex來使用虛擬機的Horizon Client以得到我的VDI解決方案。
iPad同樣也可以得到這個存取權限，但因沒有完整的滑鼠支援而使的體驗備受限制。
(我純文組的這段我不是很懂有誤請指正)

The Note 9 also functions as my phone so it has an always-on connection and
while I could also get that with the iPad Pro that is another $130 premium.
Again, cost has been a factor in this latest decision to stick with the Note
9 too.

Note 9除了用Dex外還是能以手機的角色照常運作，它有著全時的連結；
我也是能用iPad，但那要多花$130(這段不是很懂，是說買軟體還是買耳機?)
再一次地，成本花費又成為了我下定決心要跟Note9在一起地關鍵因素。

The Apple iPad Pro 11 is a fantastic tablet and I am extremely impressed by
the hardware and performance. However, it's an expensive extra to have on
hand and to be honest the Galaxy Note 9 with DeX meets my needs better. Given
this realization, I am planning to upgrade to the Galaxy Note 10 when it is
released later this month.

蘋果iPad Pro 11是一台極為出色的平板而我對它的硬體和效能感到印象深刻。
然而，它在手上就成為了一個昂貴且多餘地存在，且老實說Note 9搭配Dex更符合我的需求。

有了這份認知後，我計畫這個月Note 10發布後就要升級(換手機)啦~


Have you tried out Samsung DeX? If so, what kind of work do you do with it?

你也試過三星Dex了嗎？ 如果是的話，你是在上面作什麼樣的工作呢？


心得：
連一個工程師都覺得Dex這麼好用，除了Suface Pro 6外，再來就是Dex了，
不需要iPad來多此一舉了，看來iPad在定點生產力方面，還不如三星Dex接螢幕，
而且還省下了多買一個平板的費用和為了iPad的配件所產生的煩惱。

不過這篇的前提是你是跟作者一樣的使用習慣，作為家用的第二機台。
如果你是會帶出去，又或者是手寫筆的愛用者，那這一篇的前提就不適用了，
反而是Surface再來是iPad才是你的選擇，畢竟Dex需要外接螢幕嘛~

然而，以生產力而言，iPad細節作的不如Dex，更別提Surface了，
因此在iPad OS真正上市之前，還是先別對取代傳統筆電抱有太大期望了~
看看股票玩玩遊戲作作筆記倒是挺合適的~~
尤其是帶去starbucks之類的，雖然我都帶電競筆電去廝殺就是了LUL
咖啡廳工作什麼的我還是無緣哪哈哈哈
我會考慮iPad就是為了作筆記和看影片，Dex與我無緣就是了
不過三星Tab S6的價錢確實比較吸引人
翻這篇感覺還好 沒想到居然也拿滿1000P幣 可怕
