Do I go out right now and buy one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s still early, but there is only one aspect of this system that makes me hesitant to recommend it to folks. The proprietary docking station. I cannot throw enough vitriol at this one design decision that ruins a pretty nice product. In a world that has gone USB-C, this proprietary connector to the docking station just ruins the whole thing.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moseschung.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-2023-10-27-at-8.44.37-AM-300x264.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.moseschung.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-2023-10-27-at-8.44.37-AM-300x264.png 300w, https:\/\/www.moseschung.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-2023-10-27-at-8.44.37-AM-768x677.png 768w, https:\/\/www.moseschung.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-2023-10-27-at-8.44.37-AM.png 926w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>On top of this, the problems I&#8217;ve encountered with this docking station are endless.
