Comparing batteries, just the basics

For whatever reason, a big chunk of YouTube reviewers always gloss over the basics of battery capacities

Im assuming they just read the glossy ads, and report the mAh numbers and then compare those between devices

The issue is that you can't directly compare 2 batteries only on mAh.

Aka a 10,000 mAh vs 5000mAh battery is a meaningless comparison without knowing what voltage each battery is rated at.

Its like saying my car, which goes 80, is faster than your truck which goes 60

First glance, it seems obvious that 80>60

But if it's 80kph vs 60mph (60mph = ~100kph) you see what I mean...

So for batteries, you need to know capacity (mAh) and the voltage.

Combining those 2 together gives you watt hours (wh) which is a single measurement yiu can use to compare batteries

Real life example

Nexdock typically uses 5000 to 5800 mAh, 7.4v batteries

Uperfect typically uses 10800mAh, 3.6v batteries

Almost all ads only ever reference the 10800 number tho

Doing math you get: nexdock 5800mAh x 7.4v = almost 43 wh battery

Uperfect 10800mAh x 3.6 = almost 39 wh

Simple calculator to reference

Long and short, when comparing portable monitor batteries, or lapdocks, understand that wh is true measurement of the battery for comparisons

Khadas has sent their xPlay "lapdock" for evaluation. This might be the premium quality lapdock we've been after... review to follow after this week

Just re-watched Avenger 2.0 (s07e09) and I loved the easter egg of...

Felger packing for his away mission, and the camera focusing on him packing rolls of duct tape lol

it's the little things like that, that make Stargate so special for me. I love all the 4th wall stuff, and how they take essentially a throw away episode, and turn it into a part of a larger story arc (Neruse and ba'al bigger parts later)

I love this show so much

coming from a Samsung DeX mindframe here, since both are android I kinda assumed that there would be more....similarities in how their desktop mode worked

I'm at a loss as to how I add an app shortcut to the extended desktop? On the tab itself, you just open the app drawer, click+hold, and drag the app out. Works fine on the tab, but doesn't work at all on the external monitor.

Also, how the heck do you minimize an app? Can you even do it?

The 3 dot menu just lets you full screen, go back to phone size/shaped window, or seemingly close the app.

Am I just hoping for too much?
