I'm also interested in knowing the timeline for when you will have an Adelaide POP? I'd be happy to sign up when this arrives.

saffers on [Ex Lease] Dell WD19TB K20A Thunderbolt Docking Station $87.98 Delivered @ 3i Gadget via MyDeal

That is a non-Thunderbolt dock, also has no 3.5mm audio, and will be fine for many people.

100W solar panel, as if. You'd be lucky if it's more than 1W.
