The editors didn't like
Most apps appear in small phone sized windows that can't be resized
Netflix would not work
Some apps won't work at all while docked in the DeX
No good reason to buy this
A mouse
And a keyboard over a real PC
Only works with the Galaxy S8 and S8+
Needs significant assets (keyboard

Not all apps work in desktop mode
Hardware setup is difficult and unintuitive
The dock doesn't stay in place

Lack of direct smartphone access while docked to the Dex Station is unfortunate
Bluetooth pairing needs an overhaul
One monitor (out of five) failed to run DeX properly
Small number of officially supported apps
Can't snap windows
Android multitasking is still weak
Images and video don't always look as sharp as they should
True multitasking isn't really implemented
Thirdparty app support is currently lacking
Cannot replace a PC for specialized tasks (e.g. image editing)
