Connecting laptop to side ports: Does anyone know if you can connect a laptop to the sideports on the 4661?

Yes, you can. It has s-video, which isn't super high-quality, but my wife and I regularly use our laptop to watch netflix instant view and it's at least as good as over-the-air regular (non-HD) broadcasts. Check to make sure you have a laptop with an s-video port. My dell has one, but my friend's apple does not and I'm not sure all PC laptops have one. Sound will need to be split from headphone jack into RCA inputs, the cord is available at radio shack for around $7.

Your laptop should have a special connector for the docking station. I have a DV6 and the connector for the docking station is located behind the VGA connector.

I have not tried this. But I believe it is product neutral and your device should only have the matching mini port. Mine worked with a DELL laptop.

Actually there is a 3.0 type B port for connecting to a type A on the laptop. There are two USB 3.0 type A ports on the Dock; one on the back, and one on the right side, which are perfect for connecting external drives in 3.0 mode.

You can, but you should be sure that the port on your laptop is a video OUT and not video IN. Check your manufacturer specs to be sure.

You can connect initially. But better to use the proper port for positioning. Use this port numbers sequence from left side 652134

Yes, that's the laptop I have and it works great. Since I use it for work applications I hardly notice the transition from my two monitors because the hookups for dual monitor use are one DVI and one VGA. Plus my monitors aren't DELL or matched in size either (gasp!) In this day and age it pays to recycle and I'm using the e-port with two HP wide screen monitors, one is 23" & the other is 21" . I'm also using a serial-to-usb converter to re-use my old serial bus keyboard and I'm using a blu tooth mouse which stays attached to the laptop not the docking station. This e-port works with all Dell E-series laptops from my understanding.

There is a big 1-1.5" port along the edge of compatible notebooks, which this expansion port connects to. This is a custom plug, and is fairly obvious: If you can't find it, it must not be there.(there also may be a PCI slot, but that will have a cover or insert; this one is exposed metal)

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).

I have used this device on different brands of netbooks and laptops and I have had no problems .I do agree with the previous reply that for additional ports you can use a USB hub

Hope this helps. Try contacting LAPTOP MATE directly as they confirmed for me which adapter was compatible with my system.

The port should be OK, just notice the power. If your laptop has Nvida graphic card instead of integrated intel graphic card, you may want to find a higher power unit (90W).

Yes... reference: http://www.asus.com/us/News/AvFpZwah7M3InIvV under I/O ports

I am sorry, but my Samsung 46 inch is not the same model number and is 2011 model. It does have sufficient ports to perform for my DVD player/recorder.

If you've got the requisite port, there shouldn't be a problem. There's no drivers to play around with, it behaves like a traditional HDD: plug and play.

Here is an online review of the ThinkPad OneLink Dock: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Lenovo-OneLink-Dock.97800.0.html We had to return this item because our laptop didn't have the special OneLink Port used to plug the dock into the laptop. The online review shows a picture of the plug, and makes it sound like the port is only available on Lenovo Edge Laptops. Your laptop may be newer than this review, however, so look at the photos and see if you have a compatible port.

It may depend on what kind of graphics card you have. I had a ThinkPad laptop with miniDP port and I tried to connect to a DVI monitor using this device and I could not find a way to show anything on my monitor and I was using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
