However, the screen is good, and the 10 key is really nice. The thunderbolt docking solution is terrible, I would avoid it if you can.

Hmm, 3 hours battery life would be pretty inconvenient for him on campus. I'm reading the 4K screen hurts battery life, do you have that or the standard screen. That charger is ridiculous!

Have you found an alternative to the Thunderbolt docking station? Seems a docking station of some sort is needed to conveniently use external monitors?
