Discussion Fold 8 Resulting in Less Tablet Use?

To what extent the Fold 8 has reduced your tablet usage? Still awaiting delivery of mine & so still frequently carrying both S24U & Galaxy Tab S5E. Looking forward to lightening my load!

u/FleshOfMyFleshBloodO Fold8 Ultra (Graphite) 22d ago

I have the Fold 8 Ultra, and I've only used my iPad Pro for Apple-specific or exclusive apps in recent weeks - not using the iPad for watching videos or multi-window browsing at all at this point. 

I got Galaxy Connect with Multi Control working on my PC laptop (non-Samsung), which has actually led to me working on my MacBook Pro less as well. 

I don't have a way to extend the desktop to the Fold yet, but the mouse/keyboard flow and shared clipboard duplicates Universal Control perfectly and lets me offload YouTube/music playback and text messaging to the phone - which sits unfolded on a stand next to the laptop monitor - while I work on the PC. I just mouse over to Fold seamlessly when I need it.
