Do you have the dock? Did you order one? (POLL)

[hmackenz]

Hey guys. As most probably know, I LOVE THIS TABLET!!!


...and can't wait to get the friggin' dock, so I'm just curious to see how many people here actually have the thing vs. how many have ordered it. I wish I pre-ordered one on Amazon or somewhere back when it first went up, but I assumed I'd be able to pick one up at GameStop (or elsewhere) when I picked up my pre-ordered Prime. Didn't realize they'd be unavailable everywhere .


Bonus question: why is the dock so hard to come by? It doesn't have wifi or GPS to necessitate a delay

Agreed. I'm going crazy trying to find this dock. I've ordered one on Amazon, but while I wait for them to get stock I've been calling all my local electronics stores to see if they have it, and when they might get it. I really want that damn dock.

 

[hmackenz]

Yup. Did the whole calling stores thing for a bit but realized most things are showing up online first, if at all. Maybe I'll call the store where I got my tablet and see if they have any updates.

Yeah, waiting for it from Amazon is slowly getting to me...lol. But, I guess this is better than those people who have the dock, but not the tablet.

I've had mine preordered at Best Buy since I preordered my tablet, I got my Prime 12/27, and the dock is still listed as backordered. Unfortunately the dock is champagne colored and my prime is amethyst so I need to call BB and try to get that changed before it ships out.

I ordered the table and the dock after the release from Amazon and they are saying that both will be shipped and the end of Jan/beginning of Feb.
Can't wait to get it! I sold my iPad so I could afford this and I miss having a tablet more than I thought!

Pre-Ordered the 32GB Grey tablet and dock, from BB and received both on the same day around Dec 22nd. My boss order the Champagne combo and its still on back-order.

My issue is that I would like to have the dock before my return period runs on the tablet. If the dock sucks I would be more inclined to return the tablet also. But it doesn't look like I will be able to get the dock before the return period runs out. I'm on preorder with Amazon for the dock but hope it comes in stock elsewhere sooner.

Ordered the dock & tab from Amazon on Dec 21st (after they cancelled my first pre-order). Got the dock today, but the tablet won't ship for another 3-6 weeks. Anyone wanna trade?

after pre-ordering on 11/29 from TD I FINALLY got a shipping number for my dock. #@%! prime is still back-ordered.

well i guess im in that minority who arent planning to get the dock. im used to my ipad and touch screens so i think the dock kinda defeats the purpose of having a tablet lol but thats just stricktly my opinion lol

 

[mycheriea]

It is available now on Best Buy, the tablet and the dock, in grey. To find the dock I had to enter Asus dock in the search box for it to show up. To find the tablet, I had to type in Asus Transformer. It is 5:16 pm on Friday and they are both available.

thanks for sharing your opinion i like the idea of being able to use this as a netbook in class on the rare days i wouldn't need my macbook pro. it'll be nice to be able to just bring this in an XS timbuk2 messenger instead of my big heavy laptop in a full bag full of stuff haha. in terms of tablet usage, this thing is great as a stand-alone tablet
