Laptop, You Are Cleared For Docking

If you use a laptop as your “primary” computer, then a docking station just makes sense. When you go on the road, all you really need to take is your laptop and a power cord. But when you’re in the office, you might prefer to use an external keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Sure you could plug all these items directly into your laptop, but docking stations and port replicators do the job much easier. A full docking station mirrors all of the ports, plugs, and slots on your laptop. External devices like keyboards, mice, scanners, printers, and monitors all plug into the docking station along with power and network cables and anything else that you normally plug directly into your laptop. When you plug your laptop into the docking station, all of those devices operate as if they were connected directly to the laptop. The Laptop docking stations becomes an extension of the laptop.
