MUST HAVE EXPRESSCARD SLOT ON COMPUTER Not being a computer geek I bought this then realized you must have an expresscard slot on your computer to use it. Never gave it a thought since I just bought a new Toshiba laptop last week - but it only has the old style card slot - bummer. For those of you shopping - I have tried a docking station that connects to the computer via USB - this works fine for everything but an external monitor for which it is way too slow - I don't recommend it. Hope this helps

Great concept, fails to deliver miserably! WHY, OH WHY didn't I take the advice of the other reviewers here. I had high hopes that Belkin has smoothed out the issues with this dock, but alas, I am miserably disappointed. Hooked it up to my new Sony Vaio notebook, followed the directions to a tee and within 5 minutes of installing, this lovely thing gave me the blue screen of death. After searching the internet for a fix and 3 install/uninstalls later, the thing is back in the box on it's way back to Amazon.
If I could rate th...

Belkin bombs Caused blue screen of death on new Toshiba satellite laptop. Two hour's help from Belkin's telephone support failed to fix the problem. I returned it and bought the Toshiba docking station instead, which is what I should have bought in the first place.

Buyer Beware!! I have a Dell XPS-1210 laptop, and had nothing but problems with this product. At first look it seemed to be the IDEAL solution, using the PC Express, however the original drivers locked my system up TIGHT. The second set of drivers would not recognize the product. The third set of drivers (for XP) are supposed to alleviate problems with Dell systems, but wiped out my wireless NIC capabilities, and still did not allow the docking station to function. After spending hours online with Belkin they ...

Ain't up to snuff I was using the docking station with Vista on a Sony notebook, and hooked a Samsung 22" monitor to the docking station. It worked, but mouse movement was very "laggy". I'm a software developer, and the lag was just incredibly annoying.
I sent a support request to Belkin, and got the incredibly LAME response shown below NINE days later.
I'm returning the unit to Amazon.

Worthless After 6 hours trying to get this thing to work with my new Dell computer I give up.
Belkin support is no help. They suggest things that don't work.

yeah, what he / she said Tried this with my new Asus laptop which has no dock made for it. I needed an adapter for the connection slot because the laptop only came with PCIMA slots. The dock never worked with Vista or XP, and Belkin told me that the dock station was not tested for use with PCIMA adapters, making it useless for anyone with an older laptop I'm afraid. I'm glad to see that others had problems with it too. I took a hit money-wise on this purchase, and will not buy Belkin products again.

Very responsive Having been used to a plug and go type of docking station, I needed something that was just as easy. While this unit does not provide power like my old docking station did, it doesn't matter. All of my external cables are now tucked neatly behind the docking station and there is only one cable to remove at the end of the day. One note of caution to those who are installing this unit. DO NOT put the hardware on the system before you run the installation disk. Run it first, and it will tell y...
