Kensington's Laptop Desktop USB stand/docking station

Kensington's new Laptop Desktop USB (whose name invokes many a fabled childhood session of "Red Light Green Light 1-2-3!") is almost a lot of things, like a Dell D/View, or a universal laptop stand, or even a docking station—but just not quite. While it seems a good idea, they claim it won't fit all those lovely 17-inch multimedia laptops coming out these days; and while we're totally into the USB docking station thing, four ports just isn't enough for device-heavy users. And the laptop stand thing? Well, you can judge for yourself, but trust us, we've used the D/View stand before (which is the exact same thing, but Dell-only) and we'd say your hard earned dollas might be best saved for that nice new monitor you've been eyeing.

Or get yourself Griffin's iCurve. It's dirt cheap and once your laptop is in place, it's completely invisable!

Except iCurve has no docking capability.
