I have a pretty old Dell Latitude D800 laptop which I'm planning to replace soon. I have 2 docking stations for it, one at work and one at home.

I'm required to specify my own replacement (must be Dell), and so far the one which best FITS my work needs appears to be the Dell Precision M6300.

Will the existing Latitude-compatible docking stations I have accommodate the Precision, or will I have to budget for a pair of replacements? So far I've had both a "yes" and a "no" from diferent Dell customer service people and I'm confused!

RobI'm not an expert in that specific area but why are the Docking Stations for? What do they do (what did they do for the other laptop?)They allow me to have full keyboards, mice and additional screens, plus external HDDs, tape drives and permanantly installed network cables set up and ready to go at both home and office. Also give me about 6 additional USB ports. Therefore all I need to do when moving it between locations is to press a button and eject the laptop from one station and slot it into the other. No messing about hooking up a PLETHORA of cables at each end every time I move between locations.

RobAs I said, I'm not sure about that area (the docking station) but I know that looks LIKE a good computer.
This old Lenovo 3000 C200 has 4 USB Ports, VGA Port, PCI Slot, Network Adapter, S Video and a Multi Card Reader.
I'm sure that laptop there will have more. If not, you can alway purchase USB Hubs which can hold NUMEROUS amounts of USB Devices.

However, I'm sure someone will be along to answer your original question.
