I'm a senior consultant for NetApp and that's exactly what I do!!! It's amazing to hear the feedback as you run a WebEx and actively markup drawings and schematics in front of customers as they watch. Just demoing that one function has at least 3 to 4 guys I work with actively wanting one now...

Hmmm... I came into the office this morning and hooked up my dock. I had zero issue with the MiniDisplay port on the dock itself, but when I tried to use the inboard port at the same time for my other monitor it went crazy... Pinkish display and all kinds of artifacts. Unplugged the inboard...

Well... not encouraging is the fact that they have it marked as fixed and the "fix" is... don't use NAM. Gee... thanks Cisco.

I come into the office today and connect: 1) MiniDisplay port to DVI adapter 2) the SP3 power adapter 3) A 3-port USB/Ethernet hub. So, I guess using your logic all docks are pointless and irrelevant? I can't today use both of my office monitors (DVI only), but I'll be able to with the dock I'm...

It's a dock...not a portable port expander. Why must it come with another adapter to fit the SP3 directly? It's meant to be a convenience item...get to work/office plop the SP3 in and get to work. Is it for everyone? Maybe not...but it's not anything like a USB hub. (like the SP3 needs any more...

Mine is scheduled for delivery tomorrow too... I'm so ready to get it hooked up at the office! The SP3 dock is NOT a USB hub. I'm not even going to go into all the reasons as to why it's not, as you're free to do your own research, but to say it's anything like a USB hub is just an outright lie.

Don't feel like the lonesome stranger. I get the same crud too. Crazy thing is that I didn't get the limited connection or missing adapter much until after this latest update, and now it's almost every time it comes out of deep sleep that it happens. I also have gotten the crazy...

I've got Bluestacks installed just to be able to fend off my CoC addiction every now and then. It makes the SP3 fans spin like no tomorrow, the hot spot of terror appear on the back in no time, and generally requires me to put up with sluggishness that has no right to exist... BUT... it does...

Great idea for this sub forum, but so far down on the scroll on the forum entry that traffic to it is thusly unduly influenced in the negative direction. I'd raise a very high eyebrow to any guess as to why traffic to this section is so low without taking this into account.

Check out this fun bug... Sometimes when I wake the SP3 from sleep, I get this crazy cursor behavior where the cursor jumps to a certain part of the screen and begins moving up and down like crazy in a little area on the screen. Usually the behavior disappears after a reboot, but when it happens...

I also STILL have issues occasionally after sleep even though there were updates to address this very issue.

8.) Maybe they could just license the connector to third parties and then they could make a cheaper one? 9.) I agree... but I will say that I do like the SP3 connector MUCH more than that of the SP1/SP2 10.) Agree as well. Although I think the silver is attractive, I would prefer a black color...

Just in the spirit of fun... I started thinking about the things that I'd like to see in the SP4 (not that I hate the SP3 or think it's terrible... just that everything can be improved). Here's the start to my list (in no certain order): 1.) Better Battery Life/Heat Management 2.) At least one...

I wasn't trying to drag the thread off of the original docking station subject. I only mentioned the Type Cover specifically to make the analogy that it too is device specific like the SP dock, but yet nobody is running around stating that it's silly to buy it because it only works on the SP. I...

While I agree in theory with Kif, the reality is that the situation is somewhat likely worse than average with the SP3. With the limited thermal overhead of the machine design as is, that limited improvement for the I7 is even more limited. I'm not saying folks should or shouldn't buy it, but I...

The type cover is an optional SP3 only accessory too... maybe everyone would be better off buying a universally compatible Bluetooth keyboard and mouse? Somehow I imagine a LARGE majority of consumers purchasing the SP line end up walking out with the "click-in" keyboard cover though... If you...

The Air just seems ridiculous to me anyway. I mean, for just a bit more, I'd easily plop down the extra dough and get a rMBP 13. Half a pound more with a whopping 2 hours less battery life and you get much more machine, but hey, to each his/her own. I'll reiterate what most here already have...

Yeah... Let me give you the number of a good chiropractor too... The rMBP is a fine machine, although there are recently several Windows laptops that now compete very well with it. If anyone buys a rMBP thinking its the maximum portable performance out there...well, they're the ones on crack...

Bringing back memories :-D I used to do some work that required me to travel to Calgary and Edmonton sometimes and I remember one time when I needed some kind of electronic item that a local told me to try a London Drugs location. I was thinking they were smoking something expecting a drug...

Ok... I'll give you my opinion about on-lap usage of the SP3. In my opinion, it's still much like the entire surface line. Is it usable? The answer is firmly, yes. Is it perfect or optimal? I'm afraid my answer there is no, no it is not. I do a lot of work (I know...I know... bad idea) right...
