Good in concept. execution is flawed I was really eager to get this product. Currently, I have to connect vga, usb (which provides ethernet), and digital sound. This dock promised to cut it all down to one connection, and let me take advantage of my LCD's DVI connector.
Unfortunately, the software is EXTREMELY buggy. I had the gigabit ethernet on the dock hooked up to my gigabit switch, but it would still only link at 100 mbps over half the time. the video out refused to go over 1024x768 unless i did an archaic combina...

Great Potential but........UGH!!!! Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: ExpressCard Connection. DVI and VGA Output. 4 USB 2.0 Slots. 7.1 Surround Sound Input.
Cons: The Driver was horrendous. There is no program or anything to configure with except a shoddy speaker configurator. Monitors do not work in it, and it wont even power my laptop. And there are only 4 usb ports which is low.

Disappointing Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: Height and shape held laptop at a nice angle to ease viewing. Rubber strips on top of station kept it in place.
Cons: NIC port didn't work out-of-the box. ExpressCard and cable were bulky, stuck out too far from laptop. Just couldn't justify the price for poor technical design and performance.
Other Thoughts: Had to...

Does not work with windows Vista !!!!!!!!!! This docking station does not work with windows Vista! I downloaded the Vista compatible driver for the ACP60 from the Targus website. It will not install! I called the Targus tech support and it was a joke. I know as much as they do! Then the guy said that vista has 18 things you have to disable to make it work! I told them to email me the list. He said that there are too many versions of Vista to do that. I will probablly send it back too like the other guy wrote in his review.

Not Vista Compatible This product is not Vista Compatible. Upon contacting the manufacturer, I have been told that they have no intention of providing Vista drivers for the product.

I have been using for 7 months and IT WORKS I have been using this dock for 7 months now and am relatively happy with it. 24" DVI monitor works very well, this is the main reason I purchased this dock. My computer is DVI compatible but only through an express card dock. Every once and a while when working in a program like AutoCAD or Illustrator that is a heavy resource user I will get lines across the monitor when I move the mouse but not constantly ( I have a powerfully computer and generally have 5 plus programs running at a time with...

Works well, just one small problem I bought this for use with my Dell Latitude D830 (running Windows XP Pro SP2) and it has worked well for me. I use it with a monitor, speakers, keyboard and various USB accessories. It had a problem recognizing the docking station when booting, but there is a switch on the docking station and once I moved the switch to "On" it worked fine - something to do with the version of BIOS in the machine and it's explained in the user guide that came with the docking station. My only complaint is that th...

. Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: After doing much research in hopes of finding the perfect docking station / port replicator the Targus appeared as the favorite. It does everything as claimed, and is relatively easy to setup. Everything works as advertised for my Dell Inspiron E1505
Cons: Logitech shorts you on the power adapter and express card cords... both are ...

Terrible drivers Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: DVI and VGA port make adapters unnecessary. Digital video is pretty fast and audio quality is fine. Serial port is a nice bonus, as are the overpowered USB ports.
Cons: Drivers!!! Will not auto-detect resolutions correctly and I'm stuck using 1024x768 on my widescreen laptop with a widescreen touchscreen. Must always have power, or driver...

Could be Huge! Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: Has everything you could want in a docking station/Port replicator. Hardware is well thought out, and well built
Cons: The Down fall is the software/Drivers Horrible! Will not finish install, after a reboot external monitor will only do 1024 X 768. No uninstall. Only way to get rid of software is to go to restore point created before Tar...
