    I finally pulled the trigger on a Asus W3j Laptop which had the best of both worlds as it relates to weight and performance.

    My question is what docking station to use? I heard Asus does not make docking stations for the W3J. Is this true?

    Thanks for your help.

    You are right, so far Asus doesn't make any docking station for any models even W3J. Probably, you have to give up what you are thinking about this gear for expansion parts.

    Cheers

    Yeap, ASUS used to have a docking station system called the PortBar, but that was with the older models, they seem to have stopped using it.

    For docking stations, there aren't any besides the ones Targus, etc. offer.

    Are there any very reliable usb docking stations? Price is no option.

    Any with DVI?
