Well, it’s not quite as seamless as something like Zemno’s $500 DeskBook Pro docking station, but Targus’ new ACP51USZ model is a good deal cheaper, and will likely get the job done just fine for most folks (with a few exceptions). That includes giving you a fair four USB 2.0 ports (two suitable for charging devices), a one DVI port for your monitor, an Ethernet port, and a pair of 3.5mm audio jacks for speakers, headphones, or a microphone — all of which connect to your laptop with a without USB cable. Unfortunately, that one won’t work (or at least be fully functional) with Mac or Linux, but it is compatible with Windows 7, XP and Vista, and it’s available right now for $159.99.
