Hi all,

Have a Dell Vostro 3350 laptop. When it's on my desk I have an external monitor (VGA connection), printer, mouse, external HDD, speakers, and sometimes a cardreader plugged in. I regularly take my laptop to uni, and it's a bit of a faff unplugging/plugging everything in each time (even with a USB hub).

I was always under the impression that you couldn't plug all the above in through a USB, until I found this last night;

Firstly, are they any good?

And secondly, are (much) cheaper options available? Obviously if it's just a USB connector, it doesn't need to be laptop specific, but I had no luck with a quick ebay search (just found boxes which allow you to run two PCs from one mouse/keyboard etc).

Ta, Duane.

Try searching for "port replicator" instead of "docking station"
