    I have a Sony Vaio Pro 13 SVP13213CGB and run 1 external monitor from the HDMI port. I want to run 2 external monitors and wonder if I need a docking station as I only have 1 HDMI port. If I do then what docking station is compatible with my laptop?

    No real docking station is compatible with yours. Only USB universal ones. Your Sony Vaio is a consumer laptop, only business class laptops offer true docking stations save for the low end series models.

    As Kent said, you won't have an official one.. You'll have to get those USB universal ones..
