    Hello all.

    I think I'm getting this notebook soon so I'm wondering if it's compatible with older docking ports.

    Is there a site that shows compatibility?

    I have a old docking station, 2years I think, which i used for my 6730b. My 8530p can be used with the docking station, as the connector and port is the same, but the locking mechanism does not fit 100% so the laptop is not properly locked in. However, this is not something you notice while using the laptop in the docking station, you only notices it when docking and undocking.
