Kensington K33930US

The Kensington K33930US is a universal docking station released by Kensington in mid 2009 for both Windows and Macintosh computers. It is compatible with all major brands of notebooks — including Acer, Asus, Compaq, Dell, Intel MacBook, etc. — and allows a user to connect a multiple of peripherals to their desktop via just one simple USB cable. It in fact includes five USB slots, two external speakers ports, one 101/00 Ethernet port, and a DVI interface; a DVI-to-VGA cable is included for connecting a VGA monitor instead. With the use of five $79.99 Universal Multi-Display Adapters, a user could connect up to six monitors — if he or she desires. Note that the K33930US is not plug-n-play, and in fact requires an included installation disc.
