Remember the days of transformer devices? The Motorola Atrix
started it off with their laptop dock (which wasn’t that hot of a
seller) and then ASUS stepped up their game with the PadFone; which was a
smartphone, tablet, and laptop all-in-one.
For a while though, the PadFone dropped the laptop functionality, and
it looks like ASUS has decided to bring it back with their upcoming
PadFone devices.
According to a recently leaked FCC document that shows an “ASUS
Mobile Dock Keyboard” that uses Bluetooth to connect to a device, it
looks like ASUS is heading back into the all-in-one-device game.
The newest laptop dock doesn’t have an extended battery. While this
may be a deal-breaker for road warriors, people who appreciate a more
svelte and compact device will probably like that it’s been omitted. The
dock only comes with a 450 mAh battery pack, which is used for charging
the unit’s trackpad and Bluetooth radio. There isn’t an SD card slot on
the laptop dock either, so you’ll have to use the USB port to expand
your memory.
Even though this latest laptop dock doesn’t have as many features as
the original model (you won't be able to charge your phone with the
dock's battery anymore), it’s still good to see that ASUS is bringing it
back.
