Product Description

Targus's Universal Notebook Docking Station with Video is the first USB based docking station with true video output capabilities. This "One Touch" interface allows users to quickly and easily connect to an external monitor, keyboard, Ethernet, mouse, printer, speakers or other devices in a matter of seconds. This product is also the first docking station to allow users to connect through a single USB connection. The Universal Docking Station provides greater flexibility to commercial users and consumers because it is not notebook platform dependent. It provides a low cost alternative to traditional OEM docking stations and port replicators. Its unique shape provides a more comfortable typing position and allows for better cooling of the notebook. Another factor unique to Targus's Docking Station is the "Always On" option. A great use for the "Always On" feature is to continuously charge devices such as mice, phones or PDAs. Targus's four USB ports are also adapter friendly, meaning they are spaced twice as far apart to allow any size adapters to be plugged into the port. System Requirements - Windows 2000 with SP4 or XP with SP1 or greaterIncluded AC Adapter required (will not function as a BUS powered device)

Targus Docking Station with Video.......2007-06-08

It's what I was looking for. The functionality and reliability is an A+. Highly recommendable.

Excellent Device.......2007-05-20

Easy installation and works great. Shipping was no problem and glad I got it.

BAD VIDEO.......2007-05-18

I've learned that USB connections are too slow to run an external monitor - the mouse action on the monitor was very eractic as a result. I talked to Targus and they told me USB has it's limits. Do not buy this if you want to run a monitor on it.

I would recommend the Belkin high speed station but you need to make sure you have an Expresscard slot in your computer - my new Toshiba did not come with one! Hope this helps.

Not compatible with Home Vista.......2007-03-10

Had to return this product because it would not work with the new windows operating system. I contacted Targus Support and they recommended I return the product since they could not guarantee that that would provide the necessary drivers. 3 stars because I could never use the product.

Bad product.......2007-02-01

Horrible product. It's not the seller's fault that it's such a horrible product... it just is. The main selling point for this is that it has video capabilities... well, as much lag as there is even with super low quality video settings and with a lack of support for higher resolutions (above 1024x768) ... it just ruins the selling point. Buy a dock made specifically for your notebook if you're looking for video capabilities. The rest of the ports work fine. No PS/2 ports though for keyboard and mouse, just USB. Not any better than a port replicator.
