The EPR is too bulky and requires its own power supply
in order to work. Although the minidock does have a
PS2/Keyboard port on it, and should work with a
Y-splitter to use both external mouse and keyboard at
the same time, that is just one more thing to carry.
Although I do take it on trips and such, I would be
much happier with a system that did not require the
dock yet allowed me to still use an external mouse and
keyboard, as those are the two most frequent items that
I find a use for while on a trip. If I have a lot of
typing to do, a foldable full size keyboard would be a
definite plus.
