Question from Nancy: Asked on 14/09/2009 I am about to purchase an Acer Aspire 7735ZG PMD T4200. Will it work with this docking station (the targus mobile)? It's a little bit hard to tell from the photo - does it work like any other docking station in that it allows you to plug in an external screen, printer and so on to the docking station? Will it work with other notebooks as well? Dell, for instance?

Answer from david s: Answered on 14/09/2009

Question from Adam: Asked on 17/12/2008 Hi, I have an Acer Aspire One running Vista. I assume this gadget would let me run my aspire using my desk top monitor, keyboard, printer, network cable etc etc.

Is there anything I won't be able to do using the desk top peripherals that I can do directly on the laptop? eg watch video

you'll struggle to get a second monitor working off it at any great resolution as the graphics card is built for the small screen. The rest of the peripherals will work as they do on a desktop.

Question from KK: Asked on 22/10/2007 I have an Acer Aspire 1690 notebook and would like to use a docking stn. One of your comments for 25-Jun-2007 indicated that to work with an external screen, the notebook will need to be kept open. I thought the whole point of the docking stn is to use an external screen with the notebook closed - at least that was my previous experience with another brand of notebook, IBM Thinkpad. Can you please clarify?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 25/10/2007
If the notebook screen is kept open, you can use both screens at the same time - being able to slide applications between monitors. For example, you could run your web browser on your laptops screen and a MS Word on the external screen and have Excel stretched over both (if you really wished!). If you close the screen, then you're back to using just one monitor.

Question from Mitchell: Asked on 17/06/2007 I own an Acer Aspire 7104 WSMi laptop.
1) How much strain does an external monitor place on the USB based VGA connection?
2) A related question, how much will my laptops IGP intel900 system cope under a direct VGA (not through dock) with say, a 20" widescreen monitor?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 19/06/2007
Either connection would be able to handle a 20 inch screen. The Aspire notebook has two usb controllers that the ports are spread across consequently you may find that having plugging other devices into different ports dramatically changes the responsiveness of the notebook.
