    Hi,

    I have a Sony Vaio VGN-N11S, which I want to get a docking station for. Which is a compatible one? Are they all compatible? We will probably get another Vaio soon so would like one that is compatible with more than the VGN-N11S

    Thanks in advance.

    Bob

    Hi,
    your laptop hasn't any docking station connector. You can use a usb docking station, e.g. VGP-UPR1. There are some limitations like no Aero, no movie playback and two cables extra.

    I'd look for a USB or ExpressCard one from Targus or Belkin. For the money you'd pay for Sony's USB port replicator you could get two from another manufacturer.
