Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm very happy with my Sony laptop, but I expect more from Sony when it comes to this docking station, especially given how overpriced docking stations always are. It works, but there are two big problems with this docking station and one little one:
* No Microphone In and Audio Out ports: my external speakers have to be connected directly to the laptop. Everybody knows that laptops generally don't have good speakers, so excluding these ports from a docking station is inexcusable.
* Inconvenient power button: the laptop itself has a power button that doesn't function when the laptop lid is closed, which is a good feature for when I'm on the go. (Nobody wants their laptop accidentally turning on inside its bag.) However, there is no power button directly on the docking station, and the power button on the laptop STILL ceases to function when the laptop is docked. I have to open the lid each time I turn on the computer when the laptop is docked! Either the power button on the laptop should magically work when the computer is docked, or the docking station itself should have a power button on it.
Finally, the little problem. The docking station does not include a power cord, so don't forget to order that too. And the instructions with the docking station disingenuously caution the user to only use the power cord that was included with the laptop. Yeah, right! Docking stations are about convenience; every docking station purchaser buys an additional (also overpriced) power cord to use with the docking station. Nobody crawls under their desk to connect the power cord to the docking station each time they've returned to their office with the laptop. Not only should the docking station include a power cord, it should include a power cord with a longer cord suitable for an office environment.
Like I said, the Sony laptop itself is fabulous, but this docking station is bad icing on the cake.
