Is this as easy as plugging it in for business trips, and unplugging it for personal?

I leave plugged in all the time. When I download for the week I identify the business use by clicking the screen for that trip. My 2 decades as a CPA makes me wish all of my clients used this.

I wouldn't unplug it, as you run the risk of forgetting to plug it back in.As you start using it, you can start defining locations as Business or Non Business ("private").Then the systems starts automatically defining trips as Business or Personal based upon your Start/Stop points.Also, if you travel from Client One, stop at the grocery store (for example), then continue on to Client Two, you can combine the two trips so that it only appears as Client One->Client Two.(You will need to manually adjust any extra miles you drove to get to the personal stop)

It is easier to just leave it plugged in. You can distinguish between trips when your data is uploaded.

Yes, but I leave it plugged in because the report generated let's you choose what trips were business by checking them on the webpage. I can track overall mileage better this way for oil changes, miles on tires and gas usage. Also to figure out ratio of business vs personal use. So far this product has been great and trouble free.

Sure, if you are not interested in keeping track of total miles driven it could certainly work that way. I personally keep mine plugged in to log everything and then weekly I identify the business trips in their trip log. My understanding is if audited, the IRS wants to know the reason for the trips in addition to the miles driven.

I never tried mine without it being plugged in..we used it for a road trip. I wouldn't recommend it.

I don't know. I have the laptop plugged in most of the time and only unplug it for travel or meetings. Never really kept track. Sorry I couldn't be of much help.

The term "easy" is relative. I would recommend downloading the manual to obtain a good understanding of the install and setup procedures. But, the average person shouldn't have that much of a problem if instructions are read and followed carefully. Rule of thumb: just don't connect and reconnect while any of the components are on! Turn them off and check connections before turning anything on. If in doubt, hire a professional.

I get a couple of hours of messing around with surfing, email, etc....not very demanding stuff. I'm never far from an outlet tho, since this is not the sort of tablet you will take camping or something. It comes with a cord so you can plug it in while using it as a tablet; it does not have to be on the dock to charge. I've had it since the summer, and still love it.

Yes it is. Assuming you don't run it from a USB hub as possibly won't have enough power then.

Yes, super easy to do. If you haven't bought the laptop yet, I would recommend something else.

It has to be plugged in for power source. I've tried using the on board memory and powerpoint player, but it is very slow and not worth it, so I utilize wireless or wired video connection from my computer playing through Powerpoint. This is very fast on and off and much lighter than the wireless LG projector(500lumen) that I purchased and returned because it wasn't nearly as functionally bright in a 40 person conference room, and travels like a brick. The ML 750 has a nice small and compact travel kit for everything.

No problem dude! Its powerd by the USB port! You dont have to plug it on the wall

Nope... But I can say I like the unit, especially for the price point compared to some higher ends. We use ours several times a week and despite there being no on/off switch the power plug has a handy loop to fit your finger built into the plug itself that makes unplugging the unit really easy. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Very easy. Turn off the power at the circuit breaker. Pull off the front face plate. Remove the screws holding the unit on the wall. Connect the wires in the same order as the old one and you are in business

We have had no problem with unplugging the device temporarily. It remembers its network settings and comes back up fairly quickly. You could also make use of a USB battery pack that would keep the camera going as you move it.

Yes, it will. Unplugging is faster then cycling through the remaining hour(s).

It's probably as easy as with any battery driven cordless. I can do it fairly easily with one hand; two would be easier.

I have put it on charger when its convenient never cause I had to. I'd plug it in at the end of every day while on vacation and maybe once a month or less for average home use.

Depends on how much power you are drawing. I have my desktop PC, monitor, router and cable modem on battery backup. All I want is time to save what I am working on and shut down properly. Around 10 minutes would be fine with me, but I haven't tried to test it.

It is option but the battery life is not very good I keep plug in all the time.
