Received product and was as described. I am not a computer expert but did not have difficulty in setting up laptop on docking station. It works great but I am having some difficulty with sound quality. This may be me and not the product.

Works as it said, but would be so much nicer if you could plug the monitor in also.
 Sorriest piece of junk I ever bought April 8, 2008

I bought this Targus Docking Station with digital Audio thinking that it would be nice to free my laptop of all the wires attached to it, so that when I wanted to take it elsehwere I just had to unhook one wire. Besides, I was running out of USB ports and the price of this item seemed right.
Well, I got it installed well enough (had to recognize each and every component one at a time and load the drivers, but that was all right, I figured it was a one time deal).
It worked until I put the laptop to sleep as I do every night when I am done. When I woke the laptop the docking station forgot most of the peripherals plugged in, and took forever to figure out what they were and how to get them running again -- I mean like 5 minutes or more, and I have a powerful HP Pavilion laptop running Vista Home Premium. So much for the as-advertised sleeping with the laptop and waking up with the laptop.
The other mistake I made was unplugging the docking station so that I could take the laptop to another room. Guess what happened when I plugged it back in? Failed to recognize my peripherals again. Reboot and even then stuff was not remembered. It had to re-learn all the drivers all over again.
Then there are the USB ports that seem to work when they feel good and ready to work.
How do I know it is not my laptop? I bought an HP docking station and simply plugged it in, plugged my stuff into it and bang! Worked right away. No reboot no nothing. Solid as a rock. Goes to sleep with the laptop and wakes with the laptop remembering everything perfectly. Works just as if it were part of the laptop and not an "extender".
Now I have to give away this Targus junk. Maybe someone else will have better luck! I don't have the time to waste fighting with this.
Agree - piece of junk October 10, 2009

Same comments as others....Load software, works for a bit. Sometimes sound goes out by opening a miscellaneous program. Sometimes the unit doesn't recognize the peripherals when the computer has been rebooted. Sometimes my HP laptop crashes. Maybe it's something to do with HP compatibility as I've seen this a few times.
