Lap dock worth it?

[j1787]

I was thinking of purchasing the lap dock for my RAZR. Can I get some pros and cons from users?

My main usage would be working on documents stored in cloud services and emails.

I just picked up the 500 this weekend. Keep that in mind when you read this and realize i'm still in the honey moon phase. I had a laptop and about 98% of the time I only used out to surf the internet. So, I made the jump and sold my laptop in favor of the dock.

Pros:
Lightweight
Sexy finish
Bright vivid screen
Dedicated Android keys
Speakers are awesome
Access to all phone features and apps
Webcam has a flash light for low light video chats
Full Web browser
It's just downright cool

Cons:
Phone tray seems flimsy and is awkward to use
Cable is too long for tray

If you are looking to surf and use phone features and apps, it is worth the money. Google docs and Dropbox will take care of basic productivity and storage, as well as other apps. If you are expecting a laptop, buy a laptop.

The 500 is a lot better than the 100. I bought the 100 but did not like the size. The 500 is larger and has ethernet and vga connections as well as a S/D card slot. So far I really like it.

I have a 500 for almost two months. The bottom line is I love it. But there is a few things to consider.
- touchpad is useless to me and I need to user a mouse (I work with touchpads everyday but this one just sucks in my opinion h
- when on the call, Skype etc.the sound come from the speakerphone and not Lapdock speakers. I can't hear well enough and need to undock.
- I guess during the call the Lapdock microphone isn't used either as people complain they hear me like I would speak to them through the wall.
- get 500 and not 100 if you intend to type a lot and your hands are bigger than that of a 5 year old.
- you can browse on up to 5-6 tabs max before Lapdock gets upset.
- it takes sometimes up to a minute to boot up (most of the time it's less than 30 sec).

If those are not deal breakers to you and are definitely not to me, than go for it. All the other stuff is great.
