    Anyone has one using with the Envy 15? If so, how is it working for you and what you recommend? I have the 2nd Gen Envy 15 w/ i5 core on SSD. Was thinking of getting one to use

    No one has a docking station with their envy?

    Anyhow, giving that ENVY only have USB port, how do you connect it to a monitor that has DVI/VGA port only?

    You can use HDMI->DVI or HDMI->VGA converter. I have the latter for my Envy 14, everything works just fine (great for presentations)

    Use hdmi -> dvi adapter?

    USB3 docking stations seem to be quite rare. All I quickly found were docking stations for hard drives.

    Edit: I'm too slow, I blame watching House... this latest episode is fun :D

    Docking stations are old school man. I don't think there are too many more of those being made

    Docking stations are quite common in the enterprise; not so much for home use.
