Dock Station
A docking station can make it a lot quicker
A docking station can make it a lot quicker and easier to reconnect to your wired network, human-size keyboard and mouse, easy-on-the eyes external monitor, printer and other peripherals.
In other words, it's a notebook accessory that says, "Welcome home."
While consumers haven't been buying docking stations in great numbers, businesses have embraced them as a way to quickly make and break notebook connections in the office. Last year, companies outfitted 63% of laptops with docks, a proportion that has increased from 35% in 2006, according to figures from analysis firm The NPD Group Inc.
Not all docks are created equal, however. Docking stations made for a specific notebook let you snap the computer securely into place and immediately connect the video to an external monitor, link to peripherals, exchange a Wi-Fi network link for a faster wired connection and begin to charge the system's battery in one step.

* Do you use a universal dock, and do you recommend it?
Universal docking stations, on the other hand, work equally well with a multitude of laptops. Instead of being built for a specific machine to snap into, they connect to your laptop via a single Usb Cable, making them easy to connect and disconnect.
But while most universal docks connect to your network, monitor and peripherals with ease, they don't charge your notebook's battery, which is their biggest drawback. A less important downside is that USB-based docks can't display the entire boot-up procedure, making troubleshooting an errant machine difficult. However, you can always just watch the start-up on the notebook's screen if there's an issue.
I recommend getting a dedicated dock if there's one made for your notebook -- but it might not be that easy. Many notebooks don't have a dedicated docking station for sale. For example, Dell Inc.'s business-oriented Latitude E4300 has a capable dock for $110, while the Inspiron 13, a similar machine aimed at home users, has no dedicated dock available.
If you can't buy a dedicated dock, a universal dock is a great solution. And it does provide one advantage: It can be used with a new notebook if you switch systems.
