I have a HP Envy dv6 15.6", and I need to know if this docking works fine with this laptop. I need to keep the monitor open.

If your laptop has a USB 3.0 port, you should be fine. That's how I connect. Laptops open, and I use two external 23" monitors as well.

This Docking Stand is designed for use on USB 3.0-enabled ultrabook laptops like what you have. Get one for yourself, Raul!

Not one made by Asus in the same way that some HP notebooks click on to an HP docking station. There are the Toshiba Dynadock series of external stations that work well (I have one).

Beverly, make sure you check the list of Laptops this Docking Station lists as comparable with your laptop, it should show which ones this Docking Station will support. Be careful & check it out completely.

Don't buy this dock. Call Dell, give them the service tag off your laptop, and let them give you the dock or docks that are compatible with your device. Will save you time, and trouble in the event the dock is bad. The one I purchased originally was bad, and not the best dock for my laptop. Ultimately returned the original one due to defect. Supplier was out of stock so that's when I went to Dell directly. It took a few calls to get someone to tell me which ones were compatible since the website said the super speed was the only one that was noted as being right for my device. That is when the lady asked for my service tag. She was able to pull a list. Good service and the dock works well. Don't buy this dock.

Absolutely! We'll only order this laptop with a dock and I've purchased 15+ of these. I'll normally from a different reseller because the variation in pricing is significant. I've used both Dell P/N 430-3114 and 331-6307. I like the 430-3114 because it has dual DVI connections. Good luck!

I have a Dell laptop and docking station. The monitor is connected directly to the docking station so I can take my laptop without having to unhook printer, scanner, monitor etc.

Yes, I bought two of these docking stations for my HP Folio 9480m, and they work perfectly. I had the same question at the time of my purchase; I rolled the dice and got lucky. :o) Hope this helps.

Yes, this docking station IS compatible with the Dell Latitude E6520 laptop. I purchased this docking station with my Alienware laptop and it turns out it is not compatible with my laptop and Dell won't return it, so I have one that is brand new that I cannot use.

The docking station I bought from Amazon was the wrong one. It did not specify my Elite book 8560p The pins did not match up. You will have to check before you order to make sure that your models you have here are listed then order. I ordered another out of HP and just threw the one away from Amazon. It was far cheaper to eat the mistake than pay the restocking fee and shipping....

It will work with any HP laptop that has an "Expansion Port 3". A quick Google search has an image of the port. The docking station does not come with an additional power supply, however is designed to use the power cord currently plugged into your laptop. The docking station then supplies power to the laptop; only 1 cord is required.

Hi, Your machine does not have docking connectors therefore you can only use USB docking station like these.... https://www.google.com.au/search?q=hp+usb+docking+station&hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENAU282&prmd=imvns&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=DaBVUM_OMaSXiQe5hIHQBg&sqi=2&ved=0CDcQrQQ&biw=1920&bih=976 JC

no, I use it with my system (two dell laptops, both with ePort docking stations - one is a E7240, the other a E6410) - I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 right now but have also used Oracle Linus, Mint, and even Windows from time to time without any problems.Check your resolution for the second monitor - did you maybe pick a 16x9 instead of a 16x10 (or vice versa)?

Problem with this connection is that it will not connect to your docking if it doesn't have to DMS-59 pin connection. You need to find a VGA input for docking station with dual VGA outputs.

Russell,Mine was DOA - no power to the dock from the adaptor. I returned it and didn't buy another. The answer to your question, however, is based on what you tell Windows to do when the laptop lid is closed. In the power options of the control panel tell it to do nothing, never sleep and never hibernate and the PC will function with the lid closed. With the lid open, you are supposed to be able to see three screens, but I could not test that.Good luck.Mike

Yes, the HP website specifically calls out that it is compatible with the following HP laptops: EliteBook 2540p, EliteBook 2740p, EliteBook 8440p/w, EliteBook 8540p/w, EliteBook 8740w, ProBook 644Xb/645Xb/654Xb/655Xb. If you have any other type of laptop, I suggest doing a quick internet search to see if there is one available for your computer. For my search I simply entered "docking station for" with my laptop model and found this one was what I needed.

Yes. I have on hooked up to my HP dv6 (Intel) laptop that I just upgraded to Windows 8. When I connected the Dynadock, Windows looked for drivers, installed them, and then required a restart. It should work just at it worked in Windows 7 or XP. I also have a Diamond BVU195 USB Video adapter connected to the Dynadock. Both use DisplayLink technology for the Video. You cannot connect more than one Dynadock but you can connect multiple other USB video adapters to your PC or laptop. With these two adapters, I have three monitors running - the laptop display, a 20 inch monitor connected to the video on the Dynadock, and another 20 inch monitor on a Diamond USB Video adapter plugged into the Dynadock. If I wanted to, I could connect the Diamond adapter directly into a USB port on my laptop. Or, I could connect the 3rd monitor directly to the VGA port on my laptop. I have 31 pages describing hooking up multiple monitors in my book "Windows 7 Made Simple." A lot of that book is still relevant for Windows 8. The biggest changes in Windows 8 are the new tile interface, the removal of the old start button, and the burying of many of the less frequently used settings. BTW, while Windows 7 and 8 do a great job of handling the positioning and setup of multiple monitors, consider buying UltraMon. One license is good for all the computers in your household, and it offers some neat features like placing a separate desktop image on each monitor. -Kevin Otnes, author, "Your Mother Does Windows" blog, "Windows 7 Made Simple," and co-author of "Getting Started with Windows 7."

Yes. As Steven mentioned, the docking station has it's own power port, so you won't have to rely on the power port on the laptop.
