    Hey guys, I've been looking at docking stations for my FW series laptop. The laptop has an HDMI port which is great, but I can't find a docking station with it.

    There is the USB docking station which does DVI out. I've got a DVI-HDMI dongle that works on my computer, and it brings audio with it (cause the ATI card is good like that in my desktop system) but I was wondering if anyone knew if this works with the USB dock. I'm guessing no, and don't want to throw down $200 to find out.

    Also I read that it can only output up to 1600x1200, which is fine cause I've got a 720p setup, but next year I'm looking to move up to 1080p which would kinda suck if this can't do it, especially with the blu-ray drive in the laptop.

    Would make life a lot easier if Sony would just come out with an HDMI capable dock since they seem to be putting HDMI on most of their laptops now.
