Prime G2 available in USA

[rprosperi]

The Prime G2 is available in BestBuy stores, presumably throughout US. BestBuy also still has inventory of the prior model (h/w Ver. C, also called V2) at a reduced price.

My unit has S/N 9CJ916xxxx, so made in April of this year in the "9CJ" factory, undoubtedly in China. It came in the same light grey and blue bubble style pkg. seen before now.

Included in the pkg:

• Prime G2 device with slide cover
• HP warranty statement foldout in 17 languages
• Getting started foldout (showing almost nothing) but in the same 17 languages
• A single sheet noting the rubber cap on the USB cord should only be used w/supplied adapter
• USB cable (w/rubber 'safety shield' attached)
• Unit-toUnit cable
• Power block
• USA plug for power block
• No Manual of any kind
  

My Prime had enough power for initial setup (date, time, etc.) but was nearly empty after that. As received, my Prime had this configuration:

• Software Version: 2.0.0.13865 (2018 08 02)
• Hardware Version: D
• CAS Version: 1.4.9
• Serial Number: 9J916xxxx
• Operating System: V2.060.650
  

After charging, I'll update to latest f/w and add additional comments as needed.

Update: Updated quickly using the ConnKit with no hiccups or drama.

My G2 also works great with a wireless dongle and though that seemed like a gimmick, it is actually very handy to not have to track down or manage cables.

One odd thing I noticed is you cannot turn the G2 off if it is currently connected to the CK; [shift] [off] does nothing at all. This is odd because it's different from having the USB cable connected (where it shuts-off just fine) but also because it doesn't seem to be documented.
