Costumer Reviews

This works beautifully and so much cheaper than my laptop manufactures (HP)docking station. I can do everything I wanted from a docking station "except" charge my laptop battery. I have hooked up a huge monitor, wireless keyboard, mouse ; usb speakers (can hook up a printer also, I just have no need) and was HALF the price. It worked great straight out of the box but I did insert disk for drivers "just in case" and did run into a small problem when windows said installation failed but then Vista went right out to the internet and found the correct drivers and smooth sailing from then on. Now I can come and go from my desk with my laptop without having to plug ; unplug everything each time ... just 1 vga/usb combo cord. Oh ... it IS vista 64 bit compatible and has it's own power supply. Glad I bought when I did, I see price has jumped almost 20.00 from what I paid just 10 days ago ... but it is definitely worth it!

I wanted to add an external monitor to my laptop so that I could use it as a desktop and figured I had nothing to lose other than a couple of weeks time for the refund to be credited back to my account if it didn"t work out in the end. This was $60 well spent. The installation and set up was really easy. It took me a couple of minutes to realize how to operate it with the laptop closed but once I got passed that it was smooth sailing. My only gripe was no where to hide the cords but for the little money I spent I'm sure I can be very creative on that front.
