Introduction

I purchased an ASUS Laptop and two months later I now have managed to get it working the way I wanted. There have been many hurdles and customer support was of no support.

I had wanted a A platform into which you can install a portable computer. The docking station contains connectors for peripheral devices, such as printers and monitors. Once plugged into the docking station, the portable computer becomes a desktop model computer. When it is taken out, it becomes a portable computer again docking station to easily use all of the electronic equipment connected by cable to the computer; "disk drives and printers are important peripherals" peripherals I had acquired over the years. Having to plug all of the devices in each time I returned home with the laptop from my day out was too much. I purchased a Plugable USB 2.0 Docking Station. There was a bit of a learning curve but as you will see described it is working well and as I had hoped. Best, it is $89 and most traditional docking stations are in the $250 category.
