Product has not been tested yet. Docking station was bought on someone else's behalf. The product arri3ed in good time and well packed.
It defeats the very purpose of expansion dock- you still have to connect external speakers to laptop because VGA and DVI don't carry audio signals.The sz series is a well build machine with two video chipsets (INTEL and NVIDIA),but docking station is a joke. I called SONYand they told me there is no other way to power on the mashine- only by opening the lid and pressing the power button.No audio out.C'mon sony, was it so hard. I really wanted to buy this dock,but after reading fewreviews here it is a no go for me. You can't switch on or off the comp on docking station.
The unit is great it makes it a lot easier to use the latop and move around.
Not much use to me. When I purchased this docking station, I was hoping it would have a serial port, so I could connect my Palm to it and sycronize with my computer, and a parallel port, so I could connect my pin printer to it, but it had none of them, so it was a real dissapointment.
I don't give it five stars because I am disapointed that it doesn't have the speaker/mic connectors on the docking station, it would also be convenient to have two VGA connectors instead of one DVI-D and one VGA, DVI-D cables are EXPENSIVE and they usually don't come standard with LCD monitors. I really like the convenience of being able to route all the cables and hide them better by using this docking station. It installed fine with my Vaio VGN-SZ430N (Vista Business).
