What is the difference between a port replicator and docking station?
Hi There,
Sorry, this might be a stupid question but I've been a "desktop" person forever and finally ventured into Laptop world so I'm still learning.
What is the difference between a port replicator and a docking station? I am trying to figure out which would be the best option/accessory for the inspiron 6000. I can see from previous questions posted that a designated docking station for this particular model is not available...what the heck do I buy? I would like to hook up the AC adapter to it, along with an external mouse, keyboard and printer. Nothing fancy. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help.

For what you want to do, a port replicator is fine.

Were you able to find a port replicator for your Inspiron 6000? Wish I had known that not all laptops can be docked - would have bought a different model. The things you learn the hard way !

Hi There!!
Yes, I did. I ended up getting the Kensington port replicator that Dell offers. It's fine I guess, it didn't even dawn on me until after I purchased the laptop to check into docking stations. Live and learn is right. Oh well..I am however happy with it otherwise.
