Targus has announced the latest addition to its line of docking stations—the USB 2.0 Docking Station with Video, an USSB based device with video output capabilities.
It allows you to connect all of your peripherals including an external monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, speakers or other USB devices often used in the office with its single “One Touch” high-speed interface. These peripherals can remain permanently connected to the dock, which eliminates the hassle of having to connect multiple devices every time you setup your laptop/netbook.
Targus’ new docking station provides an ergonomic tilt for a comfortable typing angle and also keeps your laptop elevated, providing ventilation while in use. The device features two “high-power” USB ports, to power or charge high-power portable devices such as a iPhone, iPod or camera. It also helps IT departments minimize support calls due to user error by preventing devices from being connected incorrectly every time they enter the working environment, according to Carolyn Perrier, vice president of product management and marketing at Targus.
The Targus USB 2.0 Docking Station with Video utilizes DisplayLink technology supporting monitor resolutions up to 2048×1152. It features four USB ports, one Ethernet (10/100) port, one DVI video port, and two 3.5 audio ports for speakers/headphones or a microphone.
The Targus USB 2.0 Docking Station with Video (ACP51US) is currently available with a one-year limited warranty at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of US$159.99.
