Great way to make a laptop more light a desktop when you don't need to travel. The expanded USBs and the stereo outputs are needed.
Rating: - It's a lot of money for something that failed in less than 2 years
Bought it less than two years ago with my Dell Laptop and it's failed already. Looks like it doesn't have enough parts to make it break so quickly. More than frustrating. I've been had! But do I have a choice if I want to have a printer and a mouse and a keyboard and a scanner and a Cardscan and a separate disk drive and a Palm?

If I could go lower than one star I would. This thing keeps locking up the computer. The audio keeps shutting down. The USB ports keep going down. It has been nothing but a headache. Better off getting a good USB hub.

For low usage and low port requirements this *may* do the job for you. My experience with this product has been a terrible waste of time. LAN port drops connection on a regular basis.

Rating: - When properly equipped, it works smoothly
This product performed well. All you have to do is to install the drivers (if it didn't come with the port replicator, find it here at the Targus site: http://www.targus.com/us/Downloads/PAEPR090_v3_1.exe). Everything is converted to USB: your LAN connection, your audio, etc. Makes setting up and tearing down fast and easy.
