We have two Dell Precision M6400's. One is used to its limits, the other more like a standard PC. The one used to its limits uses a PRO2X docking station to good effect. The other we bought the PRO3X ePort for with some reservations that it was not going to be able to handle the requirements. We have found that the PRO3X works great for this application and it was less than half the cost of the PRO2X. Strongly recommend this solution if you do not need all the bells and whistles on the PRO2X.

I have the same three monitor setup at home and work, so having a docking station makes setup and disconnect of the laptop a breeze, regardless of the location. Just buy two of them to duplicate whatever is in the office to the office at home. NO plugs, wires or any unnecessary time wasted, as it is all ready and waiting to be used, just drop the laptop onto the docking station and it makes all the connections work. Much cheaper to buy these on ebay than through Dell.

Smaller than I thought, but it works great. The small size is a nice surprise as I am used to ones that take a lot of desk space. It worked out of the box and is a great deal for those with older Dell laptops like me. I actually have a few of them and I tried it on 2 - it worked great. It also raises the laptop a bit to keep it cooler which is nice too. It is a solid little thing as well...

While this item is very good, I'm not giving it 5 stars simply because of its compatibility with current peripheral devices. It does take a while to plug and play devices, some of which do not work. PROS Lightweight Adds more ports! low profile CONS Legacy is legacy - sometimes new devices don't work on it requires a beefy spacer for XFR model laptops

These docking stations have been around for many years, and while they still fit the docking port on the bottom of any Dell laptop, the design of newer laptops makes this a little less tidy than it used to be. I love being able to easily connect or remove my work laptop from my home office docking station, never having to plug or unplug cables. The docking station connects the power adapter, video monitor, mouse and keyboard, USB hub, and speakers to my DELL Latitude E5550 with ease. Align my laptop with docking station and press down to connect EVERYTHING. Push the release button and everything is disconnected and I am ready to take the Laptop with me out of the office. It's a truly great solution for anyone who regularly uses a laptop at a desk and while out of the office. Newer DELL laptops still have the same docking port on their under side, but not in the same position as it used to be. So while they will still work with this docking port, they are not going to sit in the same position as may be shown in some old photos or manuals. Because the docking ports are now more towards the back of newer DELL laptops, they will extend out and over the bottom edge of the dock rather than be snugly back up against the top part of the assembly like you may be used to. This more forward position means that the spring loaded extension plate that used to provide a resting place or stop for the front edge of the laptop can no longer reach far enough, even at maximum extension. If left un-extended this would angle the front edge of laptop up and out from the plane of the docking station, resulting in undue mechanical stress on the port connector as it would no longer be sitting flat. To counter this I cut a thin piece of plywood and pushed it into the recess on the surface of the dock, keeping the bottom extension at its maximum position all the time. The front edge of my laptop now rests on top of the extension plate rather than being retained by it. The result is a much flatter but not perfect angle of my laptop relative to the dock surface, and this seems to be an acceptable solution. I have been using it this way for months and have had no problem. Read full review
