Bryan, the Motorola dock is not a computer on its own - It was originally intended to provide a (very good) keyboard, HDMI screen, touchpad and battery to a Motorola smartphone. Some resourceful guys found out it can do the same for a Raspberry Pi, converting it into a (more or less) self-contained, portable device.
