“does NOT work with Lenovo ThinkPad” 2010-01-12
By Anthony Frau (Jersey, USA)
so much for “universal”. terrible compatibility issues with a brand new lenovo thinkpad running windows 7. video constantly crashes (windows media player, netflix instant, etc.), music programs ditto (itunes, etc.), and even the audio jack cuts out after 2 minutes every time. worthless piece of junk, better off plugging individual components directly into the laptop. waste of 100 bucks.

“All Connected” 2010-01-06

This was the only universal docking station I could find with five USB ports and it does not include an Ethernet port(don’t need it). Installation was a breezy 10-15 minutes. I made adjustment to the display monitor in Windows and then everything was complete. I don’t like the price, but it does what I need it to do.

It was very easy to set up and allowed very easy movement between travel and home use.

“Dock of my Dreams” 2009-10-16
By Matt S
Okay, maybe I haven’t actually dreamed about docks, but if I did this would be the one.

I’m using a 22″ Viewsonic plugged into the dock via DVI port, and I have my printer, mouse, keyboard and external harddrive plugged into the dock’s various USB ports. I don’t have desktop speakers, but am thinking of adding them because I can plug them into the dock too.

all these items connect to my Sony Vaio through a single USB plug. So when I take my laptop away from my desk, I just unplug a single cable to disconnect from my mouse/keyboard/printer/monitor/HD. I would never have thought all those peripherals could connect through a single USB.

Tracking on my monitor is seamless…I see no delays. and I love using my monitor as an extension of my notebook screen…I’m able to keep my email open on one side, and my browser or other applications on the other.

For me, this installed easily and has worked flawlessly (I’ve been using it for about 2 weeks now).

Finally, I really like the mini-tower design and small size.

Highly recommended!
