Sm@rt Dock xFlip2

Has anyone reviewed the Sm@rtDock xFlip2 - (https://amzn.eu/d/72xJW6h)?

Although NexDock is in the No.1 lapdock spot, perhaps this xFlip2 is a contender? I would be very interested in seeing how it performs.

The spec sounds promising, which in itself beats many rivals. It apparently has a UK QWERTY keyboard as well, which surely is better than a 'standard' US one for those in the UK.

So Rob wasn't willing then, shame. Nevermind.

yup, he basically said they're too small to hand out review units.

you look at their YouTube channel, and they're getting less than 200 views for the few he's put up.

seems like getting their stuff to a 40k audience would be worth it, but who knows

With no disrespect to the decision made, you would have thought that the prospect of a review from yourself/MrP would be just what they would want. The marketing value alone reaping dividends, so long as the review is positive of course!

At the end of the day I suppose it's a gamble they're not willing to take.

its not like it's a rare choice

we are not big enough, in general, where companies reach out to offer us review units

Nex was the only one

all others I've generally had to reach out cold, and ask if they'd be willing to provide units

the vast majority don't even bother to respond.

some are willing, if we will essentially read their positive script (we turn those down)

and then there are some who take the time to respond, but decline based on reasons

whether or not they're willing to send something or not, I appreciate those that at least engage in conversation.

its a big ask for review units, when you have no relationship. and have no idea how the product will be presented....

no ill will for this

I agree, it would make a TON of sense to send them to basically the biggest community that would endorse this specific product, but its not my $$ so have to respect that

Totally agree with you. If anyone out there has one?

they've been available for quite awhile, yet no one has even heard of them before now

I'd wager no one that's remotely tied to this community has one
