I got it!! Hooray! So easy to set up. I read someone posting about having 50 updates. They must have had past updates pending because when I plugged it in and went to my updates, I only had to instal 1 and it took seconds. Also, absolutely no heating issues. My update was so quick it never spawed the fan at all. It never went on during the install of any of the device drivers either--Nice (since I HAVE had some fan issues that are hopefully resolved). So easy to to get my printer, external dvd (which could not be powered by the SP3's own USB port), wireless keyboard and mouse, external speakers, external monitor, xbox controller, and iphone cable all connected--Plus! I still have an available USB3 on the SP3 itself. So easy to put it in and out of the dock. I was curious how it would transition from being powered on and then getting removed from the dock/likewise being powered on and then put into the dock. It works flawlessly. My attached Stickerboy skin does not interfere with docking in any way. I'm not going to use it with the Type Cover attached, but could if I wanted to. Clears up a horrible mess of cables and makes the desk look so much nicer. The whole look of the dock with and without the SP3 attached is pretty stealth. I will try and post pictures at some point of my desktop rig and my mobile rig of the SP3. This is going to make the daily transition from home desktop to school laptop/tablet SO. MUCH. BETTER!!! Very pleased indeed.
