This dock has many cool features that fit what I wanted very well. It is too bad that this dock requires special software that is incompatible with almost everything.The description of this device is very vague. It connects through a pc card slot and your laptop must have this port for you to use this dock. The computer that I wanted to use this on did not have one. I used the dock on a different computer that did have this dock, but the software would not run. It only runs in Windows Vista and Windows XP. I ran the software in each of these environments but it still claimed that it was incompatible with the operating system.Unless you have a computer that is still running XP or Vista and has a pc card slot and you are willing to risk the product still not working. Do not buy this!
