Nice stand with one drawback [Posted on 2007-03-08]
This is a beautiful will made stand for the laptop. The connections in the back are well organized. My only complaint is that you cannot use the laptop keyboard when it is in the stand. They could have designed the top to be an open frame. I use a full external keyboard so it is not a big problem, but sometimes you want to access the keyboad on the laptop.

This laptop docking station is perfect for adjusting the height of the screen and convenient with its four extra USB ports. The only thing that bothered me at first was that I'm used to closing my laptop to put it to sleep. With this design that's not possible. On the other hand, the portion that covers the keyboard is nice for documents if you need the space.
Universal Laptop Docking Station [Posted on 2007-03-16]
I don't know a lot about computers, so I didn't realize that because this is a USB docking station, that the only available connections were USB ports. So, I bought this for a laptop along with an external keyboard, and I couldn't connect the keyboard. I ended up having to purchase adapters for the keyboard and also for the speakers I had. Luckily, my printer connected through the USB ports. The adapters were available through Amazon, but I thought that I would just be able to go to a local electronics store and get them and that's not so easy. Luckily I did a little more research before purchasing those - you have to make sure that the adapter for the speakers is an external soundcard, not just speaker adapters, or it will mess up the laptops sound card. Other than that, the docking station works well and I don't mind the bulkiness - it gives the laptop a good angle. Just thought I might not be the only one not aware that there were not additional connections available with it.
Don't buy it! [Posted on 2007-05-03]
Well in my case, the USB hub wasn't working. Design is fine but your laptop's temperature will go up (depending on the model).
A great aid in your computing. [Posted on 2008-09-28]
I really love this stand/docking station for my laptop. It has extra USB ports so that you can just leave everything connected when you disconnect the laptop for mobile use.
It is an inexpensive way to address the need for both a laptop and a desk top computer. One simple hook-up and the conversion is complete.
