Costumer Reviews

If micro HDMI output on the docking station is important for you, be AWARE that this docking station has two models. ADT001 and ADT002. ONLY ADT001 has micro HDMI output. It is nowhere on Amazon's product page stated about this difference.

I had pre-ordered this item several weeks ago, and before it was available from Amazon itself for shipment, "The Price Pros" offered it several days ago, so I ordered it from them too. I just got it and found out the hard way that there are two models and mine DOESN'T have HDMI output. I don't know when I receive the second one from Amazon whether that one will have it. But in any case, be aware of it. Either make sure you are getting ADT001 or wait to buy it from brick and mortar retailer, so you can be absolutely sure. Hope it helps and you will not make the same mistake.I am not going to blame "The Price Pros" (too much), because the Amazon product page is NOT spelling out the difference.

I am giving it 3 starts only because the HDMI out was important to me.

P.S. One more thing. It didn't come with power adapter. Product guide says you have to use the one that comes with your tablet. So if you are like me and are planning to buy two docks, one for home and one for work, one of them will not have power adapter!

My docking station was just delivered from AMZ. When I first took it out of the box I was impressed, solid, clean and my Iconia A500 with the Acer Cover fit nicely. Then I went back to look for the power cord.....Guess what? $61 and no flippin' power cord. I realize I should have looked closer at the spec's, but sheesh, I never thought to look to see of a power cord was included in a docking station.

Guess I learned something, and I hope this saves someone some grief.

I also received the Acer BT-Keyboard in the same shipment, so the accessories are in stock and shipping.
