    Since the E431 seems to have a fairly poor TFT Display, connecting to an external monitor for desktop use seems like a solution. An external monitor can be connected using the onelink port replicator without any loss in resolution, but its unclear how an external keyboard and mouse hooks up with one link.

    I'm envisioning a desktop with a 23" monitor and separate external keyboard and mouse, plus the one link. I'd like to simply plug in the E431 to the one link, hit the power button on the one link and be ready to go without opening up the e431 and turning it on separately. Where the keyboard and mouse are connected to the one link box

    Will that work?
