5 out of 5 stars best friend your laptop can have...   November 19, 2008

Being deployed to Iraq, you have very little space to yourself. You need to confind everything you brought with you to take up as little space as possible. I bought the XB4 docking station just for this reason. The 2.1 surround sound speakers are best when you are living in a CHU (cilivan housing unit) for a year. Also having a wireless keyboard and mouse lets me be at one place and still point and click. The six 2.0 USB ports can handle everything I got, from my thumb drives to my 1TB external. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is short on space...

5 out of 5 stars An Excellent Accessory   October 4, 2009

Easy to use, good speakers, decent keyboard and mouse, saves space, and particularly convenient for tablet notebooks.

Main points:

* simple setup and easy to connect/disconnect (though I'm not sure if non-HP laptops have the Quickconnect port)
* allows you to adjust and lock the height and angle of the laptop platform
* clear and powerful speakers, though somewhat lacking in bass range
* the keyboard and mouse are okay, conveniently wireless but otherwise nothing special; they are quite acceptable if you buy this docking station on sale (I got mine under $100)
* 6 built-in USB ports, but the wireless keyboard-and-mouse transmitter take up one port, so you're left with 5 extra ports
* the dock's power button puts your laptop into and out of hibernation
* if you buy a power supply (not included) for the docking station, then you can keep your laptop's power supply ready for travel
* a hidden bay for a HP Personal Media Drive (not included), which let me reclaim deskspace from my previous external drive
* when everything is set up, it looks impressive sitting on your desk

Other notes:

* The drive cover for the hidden bay was difficult for me to take off. I was afraid I was going to break the plastic, but once I finally got it off, the drive in, and the cover back on, I haven't had anything to worry about.
* The touch volume controls on the front of the dock are a little irksome. The mute button is convenient, but the volume up and down controls sometimes lag. I would have loved if HP used a volume knob instead.
* My favorite thing about this dock is how it allows me to use my laptop (HP tx2) to do word processing in portrait orientation. (Previously, portrait orientation was only convenient in tablet mode, which made the laptop's keyboard inaccessible.) Unfortunately, when I'm using my tablet in portrait orientation on this dock, the placement of the Quickconnect port makes it so that the fingerprint reader and orientation button are covered by the dock piece that holds the laptop in place. However I'm still glad for the added versatility this docking station allows me.
* I stuck on felt circles on my dock's rubber feet so that I can slide it around easily across my glass desk. The heaviness of the dock, in my case partially due to the external drive, makes the overall setup feel solid and secure.

Conclusion:

I'm very pleased with this purchase. I highly recommend this docking station, an extra power supply, and a HP Personal Media Drive, especially for other tablet users.

I have an HP DV6-1245dx laptop and I needed a docking station and this product has:

- The looks!
- Built in Speakers (but i still bought some more =op)
- I like the fact you can tilt it.
- So many extra plugs (your not gonna use all of them)!!
- Highly Recommended!!
- Easy to plug!
- I think I pretty much said it all.

The station was ready to use right out of the box. The hook up and adjustments were intuitive. HP also solved the USB hub problem and now I can hook up all of my peripherals at the same time. Excellent product.

This Docking Station is far more then I expected. The Wireless Keyboard and Mouse are tremendous...if you are looking for a docking station, this is the one for you. I searched for over a year, looking for 'just the right one'...This is it! You won't be sorry...It is truly a 5 star item.
