You should be able to close and hide your laptop by using the docking station. You may need to change power settings on the laptop so that the computer does not switch to sleep mode when closing the lid.

Try searching for laptop stand or tethering. I think that might be what you need.

Desk or disk space? If disk, maybe you could install it to a flash drive or something? There's not really a lot to get around that. If desk space is an issue: The version I have came with my machine and does require the machine be plugged in and on when the application is first opened. You can unplug it once the app is open and so long as you don't close the application you'll be able do your designing. It will have to be plugged in to send the design to the machine though. If you have the money, you might try something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001GV00ZM/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_C2UNub13RSVW9 I haven't tried it myself (I installed the software to my laptop and set up a card table next to the machine for it) but this one has fairly good reviews.

I have owned this same stand for several years. If you dock the stand with the laptop closed and then power it on (closed), the laptop will work with all monitors. If you dock the laptop with the laptop open, or open the laptop later, then when you close the laptop, it assumes you want the laptop to go to sleep, and it will shut off all monitors. When docked in the stand you can not see much of the laptop screen anyway, so it is best to dock the laptop while it is closed. You are also less likely to strike keys accidently or damage the docking interface if you dock it while closed.

There is a docking station option listed at the bottom of the amazon listing for this computer. I do not own it but it seems to connect through USB 3 port. Hope this is helpful. Check it out here ASUS USB 3.0 Universal Laptop Docking Station

Yes. I'm assuming you're running on Windows here. These instructions are specific to Win 7, but they shouldn't differ much from Win 8. Go to battery options by clicking on the battery icon on the task bar (bottom right corner). Whichever battery 'plan' is selected/active, edit its options. In the options screen, click on advanced. A list of options should appear. Expand the option for close lid action. The default is probably 'sleep'; change it to 'Do nothing'. Save your changes. Now your laptop will still run when you close your laptop. If it's plugged in to a docking station with a monitor, mouse, and keyboard, you will have a regular desktop! Hope that helps.

Yes you can. You can treat the docking station like removable media or it will function as a stand alone clone.

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

I don't know why I ended up a reviewer I did not purchase the corner stand I bought the rectangular stand. If you have a docking station I don't see why it wouldn't work for a laptop.

Docking station for what? This computer over heats all the time and the left side needs to always be exposed. I wouldn't recommend purchasing it.

no, it's too bulky. I bought it for my office but can not find a docking station for it. I would suggest looking for something newer

I think the question here is whether the docking station can power on the laptop. The answer is no. The docking station is just a port extension for the laptop.

I think so. I have a second laptop which I keep open on top of mine. The height of the unit could make your monitor position higher than you wish so that might be something to consider.

If I understand your question, the power to my laptop is directly plugged into the wall, not the docking station.

You can leave the stand steady on the desktop and set the monitor on the desktop in front of it. I have the stand steady on the side of my desk and disconnect my laptop from the docking station and put it on stand steady.
