    I am planning to buy the port replicator for S580 offered in SonyStyle Accessories. But I have some questions (to those who has it of course):

    1- Is it really useful?

    2- It will give some tilt to the laptop. Are CD/DVD driver and Memory card slot accessible while laptop is on the port replicator?

    3- The port does not have audio or mic out. Is there a solution for speakers and microphone?

    4- Should I buy, or should I look for something else?

    I would also be interested, does anybody here own a dock for the Sony Vaio S Series?
