Just saw this today, and wanted to give everyone a heads up. AT&T has refurbished docks available for $199

Atrix Laptop Dock

hmmm .

Don't think the refurb is worth the risk, would rather pay the extra 100 bucks for a brand new one, that's g2k though for those on a tight budget.

i'd get this if it didn't require the $20/mo tethering plan..

by the way, i'll take a refurb all day for 33% off. refurbs are inspected and brought back to like new condition. the only drawback is shorter warranty, but you can easily 3rd party warranty it for 3 years at a fraction of the cost

especially since it's from AT&T itself.

So you only get it at $199 if you buy it with something else or can you just get it for that price on its own?

Hi I live in the UK here our Atrix phones uses the Orange network would the AT&T Laptop dock work OK with our phones?

I shall let you know, i have one on order so give it a 10 days or so to get here.

A refurb of the dock, which is basically a shell, isnt like getting a refurb PC. I dont do it with PC for myself anymore but I definitely would get this.

This is the price it shoulda been near from the beginning.

Just a word of caution. Don't buy one of these docks unless you see one in person. And I am not talking about the mock up that they have at Radio Shack.

It is the cheapest thing I have ever seen. An embarrassment to say the least. No way it is worth more than $99.

Why is that then?

Saw this on another forum.

25% at ATT through this link.

$175.99 - 25% = $132 + tax!

25% off accessories

Had mine a few days now and no problems with it.

 

[winces]

Definitely appealing. Half the price of a Chromebook.

Just got mine this week. I love it. It is what it is, and I'm planning taking it to China next month in lieu of my monstrously heavy corporate laptop.
I can do docs, move files around, answer corp email (lotus notes ugh), Skype, etc., so that just about covers it. I also like the fact it supports my various USB HDDs I must lug around with my work data.
All in all it's not a full blown laptop but I think the trade off is OK, and I just like it.
Long term I'm not sure of it's status but right now I'm in the honeymoon phase.

I've given the purchase a lot of thought and I'm happy with it as is.
Hoping the "update" that is long overdue will give more functionality.

Speed: As it is now it's fast enough. It's not as fast as a netbook but if I keep in mind it's a phone driving itself and a large screen and managing all the other s**t it works well enough.

I agree with Fountainhead. So long as you recognize what you're getting and don't lament what you didn't get, this is a great addition to the Atrix, especially for %175 (the current price at AT&T, refurbed).

 

[RaD2820]

Ok, for those who have got this deal, How did you get your rebate? Ive been waiting for it in the mail, but now as Ive reread it, it seems that the send you an email (which Ive never gotten). How you'd guys get it?

 

[raremage]

I didn't get a rebate. I used the link that Tikerz posted, then crawled my way to the refurbed lapdock. It actually said that the item I selected wasn't elevible for a discount, and then gave it to me for $175. It was 184 with tax and free two-day shipping.

No rebates. No mail-ins. No anything special but walking thru the purchase process. I'm tempted to just buy 2 or 3 and post them on eBay, 'cause they sell for around $230 there.
