Actually, the Sony Xperia Z is not worthy ... but indispensable!

I liken this charging station with the predecessor ... as a former "Sony Tablet S" owners. I got this part before the 'Xperia Tablet Z "and was a bit worried. What a disappointment:
Because this charging station is too light, made entirely of plastic and makes a comparatively inferior impression. Worse: The tablet should be inserted into the guide rails on both sides exactly from above.
In the massive, heavy predecessors simply could the device "drop" in the shell ... well: since the contact was not always the same since then and you had to readjust. But it was still easier. In the new "Z" -shell you do not have such a good feeling - when you lift design raises bowl eg high if you do not exactly pulling the tablet upward.
But what good is all the whining: The shell is indispensable! Sony has made a few mistakes at great Tablet Z - The power charging devices are unfortunately to:
Only a small shaky microUSB at a much too short cable with an underpowered power supply on Euro plug the tablet must regularly long, are loaded for a long time. The water resistance due to one would have with pointed fingers regularly the dense Abdeckkläppchen abpiddeln ... which is annoying in the long run and it's just a matter of time until something going broke.
With the charging cradle the tablet receives two waterproof gold contacts a higher charging current than USB - but the statements shorter load times are contradictory in the forums. This solution makes but definitely more fun than Mickerkabel. Like its predecessor, also here is something outrageous that came with the device at this price no network connection. One must use cables and power supply of the tablet.

Unlike its predecessor (the only two tilt angles knew), the new Z-shell can be adjusted continuously over a wide range werden.Bei maximum slope you can even quite comfortable working with it. After all, even an advantage.

In summary, the dish is a must. Although it works, but I would have liked a more practical wertigere and execution. It is the premium standard of the Z-series does not do justice, yet has a premium price. Therefore, I draw from two stars.
