Would you recommend the Docking Station?

#1 Post by A31 » Thu Dec 24, 2009 6:25 am

I found a docking station for my A31 on ebay for £10 and free postage, question is though would you recommend buying one? Are the worth the money etc...never used a docking station on a thinkpad, or any laptop (ThinkPad A31 was my first ever laptop, I got given it in Nov 2009) before!! :D
Thanks!

If you often use your laptop on the same desk and want to connect external peripherals (keyboard/mouse/screen/speakers/network) to it, a docking station makes everything much simpler and tidier.

good for you. attach a big LCD monitor to the dock and you won't even wanna use your lappy undocked anymore.
