    Any G1S owners have the new Belkin High Speed Docking Station???

    I'm looking at getting it, but I'm interested to know if there is any tangible performance hit when using it (internet speed, video, etc) since you're essentially adding a "middle man" into the system.

    What's the point of using the Belkin Docking station again? There isn't really much there that's really worth the price TBH.

    The Belkin includes an internal video adapter that is much lower performances than the 8600M GT in the G1s. You don't have to use it of course, but if you don't, you'll have an extra connection to the G1s for video in addition to the cable to the Belkin. If you can live with the using the extra video cable, there are cheaper docking stations that just use USB rather than the ExpressCard slot.

    Good luck,
    Ira
