1.0 out of 5 stars Great concept, fails to deliver miserably!, January 2, 2008

By	H. A. Kipp - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

WHY, OH WHY didn't I take the advice of the other reviewers here. I had high hopes that Belkin has smoothed out the issues with this dock, but alas, I am miserably disappointed. Hooked it up to my new Sony Vaio notebook, followed the directions to a tee and within 5 minutes of installing, this lovely thing gave me the blue screen of death. After searching the internet for a fix and 3 install/uninstalls later, the thing is back in the box on it's way back to Amazon.

If I could rate this ZERO STARS I would. I'm appalled Amazon still sells a project that flat out, doesn't work! I'm so disappointed and will search for other option. <sigh> Thanks alot Belkin.

1.0 out of 5 stars Belkin bombs, September 26, 2007

By	Middle-age male (California) - See all my reviews

Caused blue screen of death on new Toshiba satellite laptop. Two hour's help from Belkin's telephone support failed to fix the problem. I returned it and bought the Toshiba docking station instead, which is what I should have bought in the first place.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware!!, December 24, 2007

By	Florida Engineer "Steve" (Tampa) - See all my reviews

I have a Dell XPS-1210 laptop, and had nothing but problems with this product. At first look it seemed to be the IDEAL solution, using the PC Express, however the original drivers locked my system up TIGHT. The second set of drivers would not recognize the product. The third set of drivers (for XP) are supposed to alleviate problems with Dell systems, but wiped out my wireless NIC capabilities, and still did not allow the docking station to function. After spending hours online with Belkin they told me they would need to have an "expert" call back, but they could not fix the problem either. I fianlly had to return the product. It is a shame, ir could have been a good solution, but Belkin seems to have created a poor software solution for it, and does not understand how to repair the problems.
