Motorola webtop on Atrix was too early - phones were just too slow for even basic browsing in Firefox in laptop mode.

Perhaps Maru is smooth enough on new hardware?

(Still have the lapdock lying around, now hooked into RPi.)

In your experience, how well does the lapdock run with an RPi? I have a lapdock lying around, and never thought of this for some reason.

Not the person you replied to but I have the same setup. The only real issue is getting the adapters so they can be connected (plenty available on a variety of websites, but of questionable quality).

For me it's mostly a novelty - I put RiscOS on it to try it out, and it seems snappy enough. But it's a mess of cables - I never got around to making it as pretty as some [1]

Thanks! This looks like a pretty simple solution to me.
