I use this awesome piece of equipment for my 17 inch widescreen dell desktop replacement...I have a logitech wirelss gamepad conncet, jbl on tour speakers, logitech cordless mouse and keyboard all at once...its perfect...my speakers connceted directly to the audio port...it works if you have 2.0 or 5.1 audio....and the stand is just great..it comes with all this info to help you deceide what height you set the stand at...also has a clipboard on the stand for documents...keeps everything organized...and if you need to be portable with your laptop..you just unplug the usb from the stand and your all set to go..converting your desktop replacement to a mean portable laptop. Definetely well worth the money. Also great tech support from kensington.

I own a toshiba m-115 laptop and was searching for a cost-effective and effecient way to dock it. I chose this docking station because the manufacturer claimed that I would not need a separate monitor. It is true, my laptop has a 14 inch widecreen and since the dock is adjustable for your height range you would be able to view your screen without straining your neck. This unit is not plug and play. Read the setup instruction and install the drivers before use or it will not work. Some improvements that I would like to see are: 2 ps/2 ports for legacy keyboards and mice (I had to by a $15 usb to ps/2 splitter. Kensington should at least provide one with every unit sold); additional USB2 ports; a firewire port; a switch which enables you to use the laptop speakers or external speakers ( When your laptop is plugged in you can only use external speakers). Other that those things I am satisfied, I especially find the built in document holder useful and a space saver. Another thing... It is an issue with most usb hubs and docks to be able to hook up an external hard drive or any other mass storage device, with this dock it is not a problem. I have an external drive and a card reader hooked up to this without any problems.

Do yourself a favor and get one because it will save you from allot of hassle.

With no trouble at all, this expansion dock was up and running. On my system, it currently maintains a network connection, parallel printer, usb camera doc & photo printer, external keyboard, mouse, and amplified speakers, to the docked laptop. A single usb 2.0 connects the dock to the laptop. The dock is height adjustable and cradles the laptop very comfortably. It looks great, functions great, and if it withstands the test of time I will give it a five out of five stars.

I'm the sys admin for a small company and my boss wanted a dock for his XPS laptop (no docking option) so USB was the only way to go. The recommended Dell product crashed regularly, so I came to Amazon and found this puppy. It's worked like a dream.

Easy to set up and easy to use. Easily adjusts to suit any individual.

I love this product. It's defintely made me more productive. I love that I now have my notebook screen at eye level.

It doesn't appear to be Windows Vista ready yet (Jan 07) though as I have not been able to get the speakers to work through the USB. It also occasionaly causes my system to not go to sleep properly (burning precious battery power).

I bought this for my 15.4 inch laptop and it has worked flawlessly. I get a lot of comments about how unique it is in appearance. It permits me to use the screen on my laptop instead of purchasing another computer monitor so it saved me money.

This was such a great product. It helped my 84 year old Dad to use the computer/laptop without having to use the laptop keyboard. It was a great purchase and still useful even though Dad passed away.

This docking station did more than I had anticipated. I thought it was just going to give me an ergonomically correct way to view my laptop. But it also made it so much easier to read the screen. I hadn't realized how much difficulty I was having viewing the laptop screen until I got this device. It also gives me more desk space, which is at a premium.

This docking station and stand work as advertised. Follow the basic instructions and you are off and running. I'm using it with Microsoft Vista. I have a printer, network cable, mouse and keyboard connected to the device and everything works fine. And I don't notice any decrease in speed. Thumbs up.
