Very nice setup.
How long to charge the lapdock and how long does the batt last?

Have you tried any other OS for your RPi 4?

For the Lapdock, takes 1 hr to full charge using the stock 20w charger then runs for 4 hrs.

Here’s the OS list that I have tried:
(1) Raspberry Pi OS 64 bit lite then installed KDE Plasma - 9/10
(2) System 76’s Pop OS for RPi - 8/10
(3) Ubuntu base then install sway wm - 8/10
(4) Konstakang’s Android Ports - 9/10
(5) Manjaro Sway - 8/10
(6) Open Media Vault - 8/10
(7) Raspberry Pi OS Lite Legacywith Myst Node, transmission and samba used as a headless media server and myst miner (latest current) - 10/10

Lapdock is currently used for a mac mini M1 as a portable monitor+keyboard.

Cheers!

I wonder if Android or Ubuntu will also work flawlessly, with BT and WiFi too.. it would be a powerful station.

(1) Konstakang's Raspberry PI Android Port works flawlessly, you have 2 options vanilla and android tv.
(2) Ubuntu is also a viable OS, but Raspberry PI OS is still your go to linux OS for the unit. Bluetooth, Wifi (2.4g) and wireless (2.4ghz dongle) have issues with interference from the usb 3.1 port.
(3) Not a viable powerful workstation, but can be used as a study unit for students.

Cheers!
