Tried to do a quicksearch but it's not on their website anymore
The item was on clearance so YMMV
No HDMI connection :(

good price. i bought mine on ebay and find it pretty convenient.. altho I still like the docks that goes underneath the laptop instead of a cable

Note that this doesn't come with a power adapter, you have to use the one that came with your laptop.

I have the quickdock from costco.ca which is slightly different. It works well because it's a true port replicator, not a generic "dock" that plugs in via USB. And unlike USB docks, you don't have to install new drivers and you can use as high a resolution as your laptop's video card can handle.

This dock works best if your expansion port is on the left side of your laptop. The cable is stiff and short so you can't really maneuver it to the right of the laptop while the dock is directly behind the laptop; unless you turn the dock around but then all the ports face the wrong way.

Anyone know if this is expansion port 3 compatible?

I am sure that this one is for the dv6000 and v6000 series note books. Good deal if your battery needs to be replaced!:cheesygri

Thanks

HP has a proprietary expansion port on the side of their laptops. There are different versions of the expansion ports too and that makes it a bit confusing.

That's what I want to know
I was able to connect two monitors (one through VGA and the other through HDMI) but I don't think you can connect two via VGA
