When properly equipped, it works smoothly [Posted on 2005-08-03]
This product performed well. All you have to do is to install the drivers (if it didn't come with the port replicator, find it here at the Targus site: http://www.targus.com/us/Downloads/PAEPR090_v3_1.exe). Everything is converted to USB: your LAN connection, your audio, etc. Makes setting up and tearing down fast and easy.
Horrible little creature! [Posted on 2005-10-28]
For low usage and low port requirements this *may* do the job for you. My experience with this product has been a terrible waste of time. LAN port drops connection on a regular basis. Had to replace the unit 4 times, 3 for the LAN problem and the 1st one for a K/B and Mouse drop off. Having to reset this device on a regular basis is a nasty little solution. I am looking elsewhere for a reliable product personally. PS have also tried the new *updated* version of this port replicator the PA095U and has the same problems with a slightly different logo on the front to stare at while ripping your hair out!
Don't buy it [Posted on 2005-11-13]
If I could go lower than one star I would. This thing keeps locking up the computer. The audio keeps shutting down. The USB ports keep going down. It has been nothing but a headache. Better off getting a good USB hub.
It's a lot of money for something that failed in less than 2 years [Posted on 2006-06-14]
Bought it less than two years ago with my Dell Laptop and it's failed already. Looks like it doesn't have enough parts to make it break so quickly. More than frustrating. I've been had! But do I have a choice if I want to have a printer and a mouse and a keyboard and a scanner and a Cardscan and a separate disk drive and a Palm?
Excellent product [Posted on 2008-02-08]
Great way to make a laptop more light a desktop when you don't need to travel. The expanded USBs and the stereo outputs are needed.
