    Great review. If only I would have heard of this a few months back. I would have bought this instead of an external monitor.

    Good to see they are making a nice product, but I agree that I would an expressCard version would be far more attractive.

    Actually, when we first received the docking station I was concerned about that ... but our IR thermometer in the office did not detect any increase in heat. In fact, it was one or two degrees cooler in some spots on the compared to running the notebook flat on a desk.

    Thanks for the review dude... I've been considering one of these -- I've recently moved into a smaller cubicle at work, and don't have a lot of spare desk space.
    I was wondering what kind of desktop footprint this thing uses?
    With the pitch adjustment - what does it actually do? Does it make change the angle between the front holder and the support leg?

    Thanks

    For those looking for style and a place to hide the clutter Oysterdock is still the original and a more affordable option.
