Dock/Port Replicator for Studio XPS 16??
Dell doesn't offer a docking station or port replicator for the Studio XPS 16. I typically have the network cable, printer, FreeAgent Go external hard drive, and wireless dongle for the keyboard and mouse all attached when I am at home. I need to disconnect all of these when I take the notebook with me. Is there a third party dock or port replicator which works well with this computer? I have seen others suggest a USB hub, which could work for all but the network cable, but I was looking for an all-in-one solution. If there is one that works well, I would consider adding a large monitor to my at home setup.

The reviews for this product are definitely not great - http://reviews.dell.com/2341-en_gy/A0963111/reviews.htm. Are there any other solutions that work well with Dell notebooks?

An additional complication is that my Dell Studio XPS 16 notebook is running the Vista 64-bit OS. After further checking, the Targus ExpressCard™ Laptop Docking Station does not support Vista 64.
So is my only solution a USB hub? If so, any recommendation on which is best, or are they all basically the same?
