Damn...

the other issue i see is does this act as a desktop extension or can you make it that when you are using your keyboard mouse external monitor with this - the only window that is being used is the external monitor?]]>Jan 10th 2010 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/toshiba-introduces-displaylink-enabled-dynadock-v10-usb-port-rep/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/toshiba-introduces-displaylink-enabled-dynadock-v10-usb-port-rep/"this works with any windows laptop correct? "

It should be compatible with any Windows laptop.

"does this mean you have to have the laptop open for it to work?"

Depends on your settings, if you set up laptop up to not hibernate or sleep when your lid is closed then it should not.

"can you make it that when you are using your keyboard mouse external monitor with this - the only window that is being used is the external monitor?"

I presume, correct me if I am wrong, the USB monitor will act as an external monitor (extended desktop mode), so you should be able to set the USB monitor as the primary desktop, and set your actual monitor to act as the extended desktop.

The Toshiba sports Display port but no other perceivable advantage that I can see?
