    Well thanks to the untimely demise of my Dell XPS 2710 (the bios corrupted itself and turned the 3k machine into a paperweight... dells response is its related to windows 10 intel drivers... so sorry, not supporting it... we have new shiny machines, you should buy one... I think now).. my search for a portable has become a search for a portable / desktop replacement.

    The Acer Graphics Dock looks like exactly what I need to add to an Acer R13 R7-372t to get what I want... nice simple thunderbolt 3 connection to add a 4gb 960m GPU, usb 3 ports, mini display ports, hdmi, etc. and it even charges over the thunderbolt 3 port.

    But acer is probably the worst i've seen at actually giving any timetable for product availability or if it will even be sold in your country at all. So I'm wondering if anyone has seen this thing outside of a youtube video from cbit.
