Hopeless for meApril 7, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I really wanted to buy this dock,but after reading few reviews here it is a no go for me. You can't switch on or off the comp on docking station. I called SONY and they told me there is no other way to power on the mashine- only by opening the lid and pressing the power button.No audio out.C'mon sony, was it so hard? It defeats the very purpose of expansion dock- you still have to connect external speakers to laptop because VGA and DVI don't carry audio signals.The sz series is a well build machine with two video chipsets (INTEL and NVIDIA),but docking station is a joke.

The unit is great it makes it a lot easier to use the latop and move around.
Same ports as the computer itself.December 3, 2007 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
When I purchased this docking station, I was hoping it would have a serial port, so I could connect my Palm to it and sycronize with my computer, and a parallel port, so I could connect my pin printer to it, but it had none of them, so it was a real dissapointment. Not much use to me.
Very convenient but lacks speaker/mic connectorsNovember 29, 2007 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I really like the convenience of being able to route all the cables and hide them better by using this docking station. It installed fine with my Vaio VGN-SZ430N (Vista Business). I don't give it five stars because I am disapointed that it doesn't have the speaker/mic connectors on the docking station, it would also be convenient to have two VGA connectors instead of one DVI-D and one VGA, DVI-D cables are EXPENSIVE and they usually don't come standard with LCD monitors.
Lacking some key thingsOctober 4, 2007 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
For this price I would expect more from a docking station. My biggest complaint is no audio jack. All my music is on my computer, and I can't stand the fact that I can't dock my notebook and automatically be connected to my stereo. Second, I don't like the fact that the notebook doesn't lock in. My HP at work is great because it locks in, so you know you have a solid connection, and releases with the push of a button. Lastly, for this price I would expect it to come with an AC adapter.
