“If you could only have a smartphone or a laptop for the next 5 years, which would you choose? Why?”

I’m glad I don’t have to choose! But if I did: I’d choose a high-end, state-of-the-art smartphone.

Why? Because you can turn a high-end smartphone into a pretty capable notebook-equivalent by adding a USB- and Bluetooth-connected monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

Example: The Samsung DEX system lets you use a full-sized monitor, keyboard and mouse with your smartphone as the CPU.

But while a smartphone can serve as a portable PC, the reverse isn’t true: For example, there’s no way to put a laptop in your pocket, or use it as a capable camera.

I’d really rather have both devices, but if I had to choose, I’d go with just a high-end smartphone.
