So, I only got my dock today due to all the shortages, and while the dock build quality exceeds the TF101 Dock (They look similar, but I was concerned that the thinness was going to hamper function, it sure hasn't done much for the Tablet, LOL.)
Anyway, I was surprised by the battery charge discharge behavior. Instead of a 100% bias toward the tablet, as on TF101, it waits till the tablet is down to 70% or so before running electrons out of the dock battery into the tablet. Makes sense when you think about it. The old way, only the dock was getting cycled, if you kept it attached mostly (I did) and charged it at the end of the day (I did). My dock was always cycling, and the tablet was mosty 99 or 100% charged at all times. Thats not a good way to evenly run down and age the batteries, so I GUESS this is better. I thought it was a bug, LOL, unti I researched it (and until I got down to 70%)
I love the icons in the status bar and control panel that show the battery in dock charging the tablet with animated arrows. I have to say, if it weren't for the goofy GPS fiasco, I am really very pleased with this thing, ESPECIALLY now that I have the whole package. Asus has work to do on typing lag too, it got much batter on OG towards the last few months. Prime has a ways to go in that regard.
