Does anyone know if I can use the dock and the laptop without the laptop battery? Similarly to connecting the laptop to the adapter?

Depends on the specific model. For testing purposes you can usually start a laptop without a battery, but is not a good practice. If it is a Dell laptop go to the Dell web site and research your model capabilities.

The docking station is seperate but u can get it. The station has a hdmi out. The station also extend the time off the charger for an extra hour. So ur lookin at 4 hours of battery life without a charge. What I did to fix the issue of only having 1 usb port is brought a multi usb port. It plugs into the one on the tablet and there are 5 extra ports to use on the plug.

While I used it without the power adapter temporarily, I would recommend plugging this in. It will give you better longevity of the device, and it won't use extra power from your computer. I am not entirely sure whether you have external drives is a factor. I assume you are talking about external HDD or DVD drives?

None, the systems ships with only the power adapter. I recommend getting a USB 3 Port replicator with/without power.

It comes with its own 5V power brick ~ the power brick is only meant to be used with the dock and cannot be used with your laptop.

You can get and adapter for cheap. However my docking station did not work so I just use the aux line anyway.

No, you must still use separate power supplies/chargers for the laptop and the docking station. This was surprising to me as well (my Dell docking station at work charges my work laptop), but if you read the description for the SuperSpeed docking station, it does not indicate that it charges your laptop.

I use it all the time, sometimes I leave it on the stand and chromecast/plex from it, sometimes I pull it and use it solo. I've never had an issue using the dock regardless of what the battery state is.

Only a computer unless you use a usb wall plug adapter to make it work in an outlet. Also, I could not get this to sit in the dock as pictured. I think mine was defective.

Both ports are on the dock. This item uses docking station to charge (recharging) both tablet & dock. Together they (batteries) produce up to hours batteries life!!!

Yes, that is for the docking station. FYI, docking station does not come with a power supply. One cord which has one plug which plus into your laptop.

Yes, there is an adapter you can buy for the dock connection and there is also a USB port at the back to the unit that you can plug the charging cable into. Hope this helped.

NO, most of the USED docks do NOT come with a power adapter. I purchased used and had to buy it separately. The NEW docks however do come with the adapter.

There isn't anything that would support the dock when you remove the laptop. I got this to use as a substitute for the docking station at another work site. The USB hub works great. Not as easy as the dock but you just have to tether your power cord to the USB hub, then plug them in. I have a cheap stand for the docking station to raise it up to the correct level. Hope that helps!

Yes it can be used without the dock, and the charger should plug into the wand. It is just like any other rechargeable device in that it will eventually go down. If you are low on battery without the dock just turn it off to minimize drain.

Don't know. I got on line and researched the specific dock that paired with my lap top.m I suggest that you do the same

In addition to the USB port on the dock, there is also another micro USB port on the tablet. It also comes with a small cable to convert it to a traditional USB port so you can connect any USB device directly to the tablet. Also the power cable can connect to the dock to charge both batteries at once or to the tablet itself to charge just that battery
