    Does your R780 have a docking connector on the bottom? The info here suggests not. In fact, it seems that only a few of the P series have support for Samsung's X-dock.

    You will therefore have to look for third party docking solutions, which usually use USB. What are you wanting to connect to the dock?

    This might be worth investigating. However, I am sceptical about the quality of graphics that you will get via USB (which may be why it is being sold off cheap). The other USB docking stations just offer network, USB, audio, serial and parallel. Scroll down the list here for a very cheap Kensington dock.
