    Does anyone know if there is a docking station available for the Studio 17? I have a laptop at work, and it has a docking station with a regular monitor, and if I want to work from home I just take it out of the docking station. When I finish, I plug it back in and I have the 19" monitor that I use instead of the open laptop. A docking station would save some space on my desk at home.

    The Studio 17 doesn't appear to have a docking port so likely your only option is a USB dock. Never used a USB dock myself.

    I do wish Dell would create a 17" dual hd laptop with docking connector.

    Have you had any luck finding a docking station? I have the same need and will appreciate hearing anything you have found out. Thanks.
