"It can be charged via Acer USB-C adaptor(45W/20V/2.25A) & Acer PD dock. Thank you" - Acer Malaysia.

I have a USB 2.0 to USB Type C adapter.

But apparently you need that specification to charge your phone.

This requirement 45W/20V/2.25A is rather high. If that is really the case, it really defeats the purpose since the port is not Thunderbolt capable

USB type C cable/port is specced for high power delivery. A USB 2.0 port/cable/powerbank cannot deliver such power, so a USB2.0 to type C adaptor won't work.

Since USB-C is still new, its better to confirm that the individual cables/adaptors work for the Acer before getting it.

Anyway, I found a dock that does work (check the reviews). Freaking expensive though.

I tried using the USB C charger my boss use to charge his Nexus 6P and Macbook, it seems that the battery is charging...
From the label, the charger is rated 14.5 with 2.0 amp..

Hmmm I think you can better wait, also consider properly.
This stylus will eat your battery life like water.

Stand isn't technically secure, also with Intel Core 7th Krabby Lake coming out, and NVIDIA's GPU getting more portable.
I too kind of regret for not waited, but I need a working solution for college. So I can't opt out.

They said MidValley Acer store has it or Digital Mall.
Low Yat also have at the ThunderMatch but no keyboard.

I'm not so much on stylus but mainly for portability and tablet mode. Not sure how long need to wait for Intel Core 7th Krabby Lake and at what price. I need to get one this week. I'm located at puchong guess the nearest would be Digital Mall.

I tried to install as per the instruction but when reboot, it boot into Windows 10. I already disable the secure boot after setting password to the supervisor password in order to disable the secure boot. Care to share how you do it. You could PM me on this as some might not interested on this here. Thanks...
