DellTablet Dock For Venue 11 Pro, Inspiron 11, and Latitude 7000 Series

This tablet dock for my Dell Venue 11 Pro 5130 arrived a day earlier than promised on the same day that I returned a replacement battery that would not charge more than 48% for some reason. I plugged this in and attached my Venue 11 Pro and within minutes with the original battery it went to and is staying with use at100%.. I can remember looking into buying this dock when I first bought my tablet years ago but the price was way too expensive, The price I paid for this is a steal in comparison. The original box was a bit beat up but inside everything seemed practically new.. This was a good buy and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from Nats5 in the future.

I use this Tablet Dock to connect to a 32" TV Monitor with external mouse & keyboard. I works well, but the connection between the tablet & dock is a little sensitive to being bumped or knocked. I think this is inherit to its design & Not because the one I got was defective or flaky.An important Note: The HDMI port for a monitor on the tablet is a Mini-MDMI port & requires an adapter from Mini to Full size, but the Dock has the normal full-size port eliminating the adapter. Because HDMI cords are normally thick & stiff, a person can easily stress & damage this port by trying to move the cord out of the way while its plugged in. The mini sized port is even more susceptible to being stressed because it is smaller. I would rather replace the Dock because of a broken port, than replace the tablet itself.I'm very glad I got it.

I was afraid to even try this after reading some of the reviews. Its sturdy, the mount works great and its nice and stable. I've got my keyboard dongle plugged into it and it works fine along with both a thumb drive and a usb powered hard drive.I'm loving the Venue 11, especially after the Windows 10 update. Its got a great tablet mode now and this dock makes it a great desktop too. And I have the flat keyboard which also gives me a light 9 hour laptop. I've run Adobe Lightroom on this as well as all many Office packages and seem to have adequate computing power for all my needs. I'm beginning to wonder now if my desktop is still needed ......Haven't tried a monitor yet and will report back if I find a problem. Another nice advantages is a goodly power supply - basically a laptop power brick.

I use my Venue Pro in a hybrid work / personal life scenario. Having this dock has made the Venue even more versatile and able to suit my needs. I have to wonder what took me so long to realize I needed it and finally buy it. I can dock it at my desk and use a full size keyboard / mouse / 24" monitor making the reporting I need to do when coming in from the field a snap. Great value. Great purchase. So happy with it.

I was leery of purchasing this because other reviews mentioned the potential flimsiness of the mounting system. Yes, it does not lock the tablet into the dock. yes, it rotates. But, if you don't try to carry the tablet and dock together, I don't sense any danger to the tablet or the dock.As further evidence that the dock is relatively robust, I bought this so that my children (ages 15, 13, and 10) could use the Dell for their homework. Well, it has been a month and a half now, the tablet/dock combo get nightly use, the tablet gets hauled all over the house, with and without the dock...and we have had no problems.So far, so good.

Although not perfect, it is worth having. This was designed for the previous Dell Latitude 10 (horrible) tablet, but works for the Venue 11 Pro. It is not a perfect fit, and sometimes the dock connection does not make good contact, so wiggle it and your docked. I'm not going to knock it for this minor design flaw, as it was clearly not designed for the Venue. Where it does shine is for all of the connectivity. With the Venue 11 and virtualization, this combination is a perfect desktop replacement. I hate to say or see it, but the desktop has been relegated to gamers, and arcane business applications.

So far so good. It is doing its purpose as my venue 11 pro stopped charging. Now it charges great through the bottom connector, and I get extra connections to boot.I am using my venue 11 pro as a plex server for my home theater, and using external drives to store and stream the movies. The extra USB ports will come in very handy, and the Ethernet as well. This way I can take some load off my router and stream across copper.

Worked one day, I checked it when i got it.. Now on vacation, for which i purchased it., for a summer class i am taking out of my home state...doesnt work, wont power the Dell Venue 11 Pro and cant use the ports...it basically is now just am expensive, heavy stand...and now of course i can't return it or get it replaced.I reseeded it, trying to get a connection...so it would start to power my Dell...AND YES IT HAD BEEN PLUGGED IN ALL NIGHT.DO NOT BUY UNTIL THEY MAKE IT WORK, MORE THEN ONCE.
