Oh, thanks for saying so. :-)

> a shame that it doesn't support an external display via the dock

100% agreed. I have not seen any firm info if this new model can do it. The OEM hardware seems to be a relatively generic midrange big-and-robust Android device and so it's not something they prioritised. The manufacturer wasn't to know that a couple of years later, it'd prove to be a bit of a deal-breaker.

> makes moot the fact it supports other peripherals

Agreed again.

I mean, if it didn't run Wayland, you could run an X11 desktop over TCP/IP quite happily... :-D
