    Hi,

    I've search the web a little and the Asus website and didn't find anything on a possible G51Jx-A1 compatible docking station.

    Anybody knows a compatible one ?
    Thanks for the info, I'll continue my search in the meantime and post if I find anything.

    damn that's a shame... I wanted to buy a nice 24in screen, so I would need a keyboard... and bla bla... but then it becomes a pain to always plug and unplug everything when the laptop is moved...

    Yeah you could go with a USB hub for the keyboard, mouse, add a USB ethernet adapter if you wanted, and a displaylink adapter but then you wouldn't be using the nvidia GPU. Not a great option.

    actually you just gave me an idea... My mouse is a Logitech with Unifying so I could just get a keyboard that uses the same plug. Then I would just have the screen and power to unplug.
