 Works As Advertised Nov 05, 2009
I bought this in order to -
clear desk space
gain additional USB ports
move the audio jack which is on the front of my laptop
make it easy to disconnect so I can use my laptop elsewhere.
It has accomplished all 4. The docking station is smaller than I expected so it takes little desk space. I have definitely gained several USB ports. In order to disconnect you squeeze the plug on both sides and it pops off. Lack of a power cord is somewhat annoying but not a deal breaker. I have been using it for a month and there have been no issues.
Power supply issue no big deal, but computer fails to sleep when docked Sep 21, 2009
I'm generally very pleased and this dock has eliminated our need for desktop PC. Yes, the dock is missing a power supply, but an easy work around is to run a 3 prong extension cord up to the docking station so that you can easily unplug the laptop's original power supply when you need to take it with you. The dock has worked great for us except that the computer will not go to sleep automatically. It's mysterious and the settings say it should shut itself off, but you have to explicitly power off the computer each time.
Let me lose a desktop Jul 18, 2009
I picked up a TouchSmart TX2 on clearance for a great price just after one of my excess desktop computers (which I kept in the family room) went kaput. Instead of fixing/adding another desktop, I got this dock so I can just hide my new laptop in the cabinet where the computer was and use the peripherals from the old computer instead (and keep my little ones away from my precious new toy - they don't know it's at touchscreen and I intend to keep it that way). The doc connects easily (though I wish the connector was a bit more obvious about which side is up - I plan to mark mine so I don't have to fuss with it as much). It worked nearly perfectly on the first try, there was a slight flicker on my LCD monitor when using Vista Ultimate's default settings upon detecting it, but that went away when I adjusted the refresh rate from 75 to 70. Non-tech-savvy folks might not know to to that, it's in your display properties - right-click on the desktop screen, chose customize, then display properties, then advanced settings button, Monitor tab, drop down box under screen refresh rate - set it to a lower number than whatever it's at then hit apply. If flicker doesn't stop, keep stepping down to a lower number until it does. Also make sure you're adjusting on the external monitor not the laptop's display when making these adjustments!).
Very happy with the purchase and especially with the price. Amazon indicates that there's a newer model available, but from looking at the pictures the newer model seems to actually have fewer outputs. I'm looking forward to using this as a TV pass-through when visiting family and we want to share home movies and such without having to burn a DVD.
One thing to note, it doesn't include a power cord - you're expected to use the one that came with your laptop. I picked up a 90watt Targus universal charger from MicroCenter for $30, the one suggested here from the same seller would do you well if you don't want to constantly fuss with taking the power cord off when you need to have it with you and the laptop away from the dock. I went for a universal one since we have other laptop brands in the household, so it's nice to be able to just switch the tip if someone else needs it for a different brand (we have more computers than humans in the house due to work machines and hand-me-downs to the kids, including old laptops).
Overall, I'm enjoying this enough that if I wind up with a desk & monitor somewhere else, I may well consider picking up an additional one. I love not having to worry about getting a bent or stuck pin from a monitor cable in my laptop, plus it charges the battery while it's attached.
The only annoyance is I can't figure out how to get the laptop out of sleep mode with my wireless keyboard plugged into the dock without physically opening the laptop (which is annoying as I've stowed it in a cabinet at some distance so it's behind a babyproofed latch). Not sure if there's a workaround or just something I'll have to deal with, and wouldn't be an issue if it was closer to the user.
80% Winner Jul 13, 2009
Likes:
1) 6 powered USB ports (great for mouse, keyboard, external drives)
2) Component, SVGA, composite and VGA video out (can connect to almost any monitor)
3) Coax digital audio out and analog stereo mini-jack out
4) Microphone in
5) Ethernet
I can unplug the dock cable and I am off. The only time I use the USB ports on the laptop are for a flash memory stick. Nothing but dock plugged into the laptop.
Improvements:
1) Provide an AC power supply
2) Longer, more flexible cable
3) HDMI out
4) Firewire (1394)
5) eSATA
If HP added all my suggestions it would be a very full unit. Probably a lot larger, too.
I use a dock in my office and one on my home theater system with HDTV. Very fast and problem free process moving back and forth.

Once connected the docking station works at a 5 star level. The connector requires more effort to align and seat than I would have expected. Overall I am very satisfied.
