Hoo boy! Yeah, I think that's too rich for my blood. If Phoenix has a 90% off code I'll go for it, but otherwise... smile

Yeah, I'd definitely go with a dock, but I'd need the adapter for use in the field.

I've only had one poor experience with a USB3 dock. I set up an Anker dock for a client of mine and it works terribly and sometimes not at all. Even when it's working properly, he can't use the monitor, keyboard and mouse attached to it until he logs into Windows on it, so it's not very convenient. And even then, much of the time the keyboard and mouse simply won't work.
