Turns out they ordered only 100 of the panels, and never got a 2nd batch. Several folks have asked for a comparison with the UPERFECT Wireless lapdock. I have a full write up here, but 99% of it is identical to the regular ND360, as they're virtually identical machinesĪt the time of this writing, the details are also not yet up on, nor do I have a price associated with it. I've posted several pics of it in various spots, but always just showing the wired interface (the vertical stack with DeX and the Steam Deck was actually the nd360w, but I toggled to the DeX input to not blow its cover) I wish I could explain how difficult it's been to sit on this lapdock for the last couple months SteamOS doesn't currently support miracast out of the box, and since the vast majority of linux users are never going to both with miracast, GOOD instructions for getting Miraclecast working just don't exist (yet) Granted, I had to load Windows on the Steam Deck I could then connect my Steam Deck to the Nexpad, for full PD, and my s21u to the nd360 for DeX usageĪdding the nd360w into the mix tho allowed for some awesome abilities Previously, just to save space, I'd vertically stack my Nexdock360 and Nexpad. Having also added a Steam Deck to my arsenal has added double duty to my lapdocks. I've had to do a fair bit of Hot Desk/Hotel Desking it the last year or 2, and being able to maximize a small, cramped desk space has really made me appreciate the nexdock lineup. I'd wager there's not many that actually use that functionality on their lapdocks, but I've used it really extensively with my DeX setup, with a PSTV being connected to the HDMI port for when I want to get a bit of gaming in without disrupting my DeX session. The bluetooth keyboard/trackpad remain functionally identical to the wired version, and can actually be test back and forth by toggling the CAST and USB-C inputs For the productivity, or media consumption crew, it's negligible. It's definitely there, and it would be super noticeable for gamers, but this isn't really intended for the gamers. I'm not sure I can stress it enough on how minimal the latency increase felt. I very rarely bother with DeX on my m5, and just use a dock 99% of the time.īut holy smokes, there is a bit of latency increase, but it's barely noticeable. I've always maintained that Wireless DeX is great for presentations, but it would be really frustrating to use as a daily driver. Having used Miracast before, via the big Samsung TV's in our boardrooms, and my personal Samsung M5 monitor, I was fully prepared for a fairly laggy experience. Same OSD, but with the added CAST input option. Once connected, it operates exactly the same as the previous ND360. ![]() No cable required! You can still use it tho It will do the search, and prompt you to connect to the Nexdock With a DeX device, it's as simple as doing the bluetooth pairings (for keyboard and touchscreen) and then launching DeX on the device. Upon boot, you're greeted with a new screen for a wireless connection. This is key because android in general, and Samsung specifically haven't done much with UIBC support (the original way to control a miracast device) The keyboard, trackpad, and the touchscreen also received Bluetooth support. This is the miracast protocol, so it is limited to 30hz. The big difference is that it now supports 3 toggle-able inputs USB-C, HDMI and now CAST. The TL DR is that it's the same fantastic nd360 everyone is familiar with no specs have been changed in regards to keyboard, screen, battery, ports etc. I'm not sure it even has an official name yet, we've just been calling it the Nexdock 360 Wireless, and I'll just refer to it as the nd360w from here on out. ![]() We've had a fair amount of time to play around with it, and squash a few pre-production bugs, but we've been given the all clear to finally share our thoughts about the new lapdock from Nex As a lot of folks guessed, this was the mystery lapdock we received from Nex ( )
