I’ve been using my Pixel’s new Android Desktop Mode since installing the March Pixel Drop, and I’m quite enjoying my time with it. It doesn’t take long to realize the potential here, especially given the ease of plug-and-play. After a few days of use under my belt, I now have a few observations and critiques.
On the one hand, being able to instantly switch to big-screen mode has proven really handy for powering through a quick email session and making edits to documents without having to reach for my laptop. But on the other hand, I’ve encountered a few annoyances of varying degrees that make me wonder if I really want to bother plugging my Pixel into a big screen again.
