What's the cheapest place I can get just a Lapdock? The ebay prices are way too high. Frequently, the ebay price is more than what I can walk down and buy it at AT&T.
Cheapest price for Lapdock

Best Buy has it on their website for 399. Not sure if they actually have it or not; it looks like it is not available for delivery...
If you have a friend/relative in Canada, get 'em to buy one for you:

In all honesty, I wouldn't get the laptop dock unless it was $200 or less. The fact that it's completely dependent on the phone to work is not something I like. If I were you, I'd just go buy a netbook of a similar price, you'd get a ton more functionality out of it.
+1 they want 400 for a screen, mouse, and keyboard no cpu, ram, or hard drive but you can buy a lower end netbook for 200 or a higher end one for 400 and you'd get wwwwaaaayyyy more for your money.

I got mine for 300$ and i think it was worth it but if i had too do it over again i don't think i would pay 400 or 500 for it.
Thing you have too know about the laptop dock vs a netbook is the laptop dock charges the atrix up sure the netbook will too with the usb charger but the laptop dock charges it pretty fast,
And the battery life on it seems too last forever i could usely go for 2 days with out charging it for what i do on it which is browsing the net with it and watching couple hours of 45min too 1hour shows on it a day at work, And that's even with it charging the atrix.
And its also more portable than a netbook because its really light and also really thin, And the battery life on them is great on some but you will have too turn everything down too power save too get the great hours and have the screen really dim, Which on the dock i keep it on mem too max brightness
And if the atrix ever gets the boot loader unlock so you can load custom roms and kernels the laptop dock going too pay it self off because its going too get faster and more customizable.
I do have 3 netbooks by the way and tons of laptops but the battery life on any of them don't match the laptop dock heck even my new alienware m11x r2 i7 i just got couple days ago the battery life is around 4 too 5hours but that's on fully power save and with the screen on the lowest setting, So i will take that with me when i want too do gaming on the go and if i want too watch videos i will take the laptop dock.
But ya the laptop dock isn't for everyone which i thought it wasn't for me when i first got it, But when i saw how long the battery lasts on the first day i took it too work that really pays for it self right there for me. Oh and the screen is also better than any netbook i seen and it looks better than my m11x its very bright and the colors are just right on they must of put a really high end lcd in it.

I have a $100 off promo on the dock from Amazon if anyone's interested. Brings the price to $329.99. Not sure if I have to buy it or if I can give the code away but it's up for grabs.
Guys, the man asked for the lowest prices on the dock, not on your opinions of it's worth. I'm gonna get one too, so help out or shut up.
You can go too at&t store and ask them is there a way you can buy the dock as a bundle price, Which is 400$ but with a 100$ mail in rebate they told me over the phone i can do that but when i got in the store they said sense i already bought the atrix they couldn't do the rebate but they said they will waive the rebate right there and give me the dock for 300$, But not sure if all at&ts stores are that nice and willing too do that but its worth a shot
Oh and this was like 3days after i bought my atrix.

I picked up a Lapdock y'day and am evaluating it, as I have 15 days to return it. So far, it's great. The only thing that bugs me is that the screen doesn't tilt more than 100-110 degrees: Makes for tough viewing when relaxing in bedI got mine for 300$ and i think it was worth it but if i had too do it over again i don't think i would pay 400 or 500 for it.

BTW, have you found any additional apps for the Lapdock? Thx.
It's linux (more or less). Anything that can be compiled for armv7 should work fine.
How is it in terms of speed? did you grab yours from FS?I picked up a Lapdock y'day and am evaluating it, as I have 15 days to return it. So far, it's great. The only thing that bugs me is that the screen doesn't tilt more than 100-110 degrees: Makes for tough viewing when relaxing in bed

How do any of your posts even relate to the OP's question?? He asked about where to find the cheapest prices - not comparisons of performance, nothing about the XOOM.... come on ppl - learn to read...
[edit] @ OP - from what i've seen there is no "cheap" place to get a laptop dock... if you want one you will be expected to pay anywhere from $300 - $400 for one. If you want it cheaper, I guess all you can do is wait and see if the price comes down more.

Thanks for the tips. I am on the fence at $3xxish. I did some pretty thorough testing at the AT&T store.
My biggest gripes are:
Not full Linux. Dev's have unlocked it but I haven't seen a video of performance and its not stupid simple to do..... yet.
Documents don't load on the webtop, they load on the phone's screen.
Touch pad doesn't have multitouch or scroll.
Curious if I can mount a 64gig FAT32 USB flash drive on the lapdock's port.

Does anyone know where to get the cheapest price in Florida? A friend of mine is buying the Atrix for me in an ATT store but I need to know where he can buy the Lapdock for less than 400 US$.
Help is really appreciated.
