    I am looking for a docking solution for the Aspire 5020 series I plan on buying in the near future. Whilst I have realised I can only have a usb docking solution, I am still not sure what my options are i.e. I don't know what's hot and what's not.

    I would like the option to have a pcmia card in it so I can put an Audigy 2zs in it (you know the one I mean, I'm not sure of model number off the top of my head). However, if it would save me a lot of money to go without the pcmia, I could consider that also. I have a bit of flexibility on budget as I think I have found the laptop quite a lot cheaper than I was anticipating (yay!). I would just like to know what's out there really!

    Neither of those are compatible with the Aspire series as far as I can tell.

    You can try these. These connect via USB.

    Unfortunately I am from the UK - so shipping would be prohibitive.

    I am sure you can find one in the UK, they work very well. I used it on a Sony Vaio and was very pleased.

    Yeah - I think I'm going to go with the Kensington Dock with the funny stand thing. I don't have a link to hand, but it fits my needs just exactly really.
