Summary: It works...
Comment: Its works great but I cant close or turn off my laptop with it still plugged in the USB port. Im using Windows Vista. If I leave it plugged in when I turn my laptop off it takes longer to shutdown, or it just stalls with an error coming up. Then when I turn it back on my laptop says it recovered from an unexpected shutdown. Its a minor inconvenience to always remember to unplug it before I turn off my laptop, but other than that it works like it should.

Summary: not a docking station IMO
Comment: I find this "docking station" pretty useless because it does not hook into an external monitor, a key peripheral when I use my laptop at home. A true docking station is all-inclusive; this one is an overpriced item saving someone with a bluetooth computer only from connecting to a printer and speakers.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not worth it
Comment: the software seems to have compatibility issues with what is on my computer. It often malfunctions, causing me to have to reboot. The internet will cut out for no reason, and there is no guaranty that rebooting will restore it. Sometimes I can get it to work again by disabling it and re-enabling it, but that too is sporadic. Can't something just "work"? I've had it unplugged for the last couple weeks, unsure that it will even work as an unpowered usb hub (because the software won't let it). No instructions on how to uninstall the driver and I can't seem to find it with Window's add/remove program utility.

Summary: usb Port Replicator
Comment: The Kensington sd100 Notebook Docking Station should probably be called the "Notebook usb Port Replicator" because it is not a true docking station. That being said, this is a fine product what will fulfill the needs of most laptop users.
The device plugs into your laptop with one usb cable and offers sound, network, and five usb ports. It does not power your laptop (because it is a port replicator, not a docking station). It also does not offer ps/2 keyboard/mouse ports, so you will need to use a usb mouse and keyboard. It does prop your laptop up to a very nice angle to type on, so an external keyboard is less of a concern.
Overall, this is a very nice product for most people. (Just read the instructions.)
