    Are there any good expansion docks for under 200 CDN out there? So far I looked at the kensington one that was reviewed on this site and also a belkin one that went thru an expresscard (no review for this one tho). The kensington one said that it could only handle a 19 in. 1280x780 (or whatver it is) resolution tho. I want to get a 20 inch monitor tho with higher res so i guess thats out. Im not sure about the belkin one tho. Anybody have any experience with these things? thanks

    Not sure what laptop you have or are getting, but if you ask me about getting a docking station then I would go with a Dell Latitude. They are the most powerful and they just click right in and out, very easy. I personally have one that came with my E1505(I think it might be the kensinton) and I tried using it once and decided I'd rather not have one versus use that one.

    VGA out? + USB hub (if you have many usb devices). A lot cheaper this way.
