Purchased this docking station to use with my new Toshiba Qosmio X500, and so far it’s been very impressive. In the past, I had always purchased laptops with a dedicated docking port, and the matching docking station to go with them. While this has the advantages of being a more direct connect to my peripherals and makes it much easier to undock the laptop for travel, those docking stations cost 2-3 times as much as the Dynadock V, and I’ve always ended up having to get a new one every time I replaced my laptop. The Dynadock V has all the same ports as my old docking station, but connects to the laptop through a USB connection instead of a dedicated docking port (something fewer and fewer new laptops have these days).
In comparison to a dedicated docking station, the Dynadock V has several advantages, as well as a few minor disadvantages. Advantages include (1) it’s cheaper – a lot cheaper, (2) it’s much smaller and takes up a lot less space on the desk, and (3) it will work with just about any laptop that has a USB port. In other words, you won’t have to buy a new one every time you upgrade your laptop. The only disadvantages I’ve noted so far are that (1) you can’t power or charge your laptop through it, and (2) video performance is somewhat degraded by pushing it through a USB connection. The power issue is prominently displayed on Toshiba’s advertising materials and shouldn’t surprise anyone. Basically, you’ll have to plug the Dynadock and your laptop in separately. This is only an issue when you need to unplug the laptop to take it on the road. I’ll probably just get an extra power supply to stash in the travel bag.
Video performance is also less than perfect. The Dynadock includes an onboard video card to help with the graphic performance, and for most applications this works just fine. However, I did notice that HD video performance was affected when using the Dynadock. The Dynadock only has a DVI port, but also comes with a VGA-to-DVI adapter if you need it. Using a VGA cable to connect to my external monitor, I did note choppy video performance, although this might have been affected by the fact that I’m running the laptop’s monitor and an external monitor simultaneously. Since my laptop also has an HDMI-Out port, the simple solution was to run an HDMI cable from the laptop directly to the external monitor and bypass the Dynadock. It’s one more cable to unplug when I want to travel, but the increase in video performance is definitely worth the minor inconvenience. It would be nice if the Dynadock had an HDMI port, but there really isn’t any room on the unit for any more ports.
Overall, it’s a great product and a real bargain, too. Highly recommended!

I bought 2 of these, one for the desk, and one for the home theater setup (separate set of speakers/display/keyboard and mouse/other controllers). So now, depending on where I want to watch movies or play games, I can just move my (desktop replacement) laptop to either place and just plug in one usb plus the power cord. Everything works almost perfectly. The only minor annoyance is that my usb desk mouse jumps around a bit from time to time, but this might be because it’s quite old and there aren’t current drivers for it. Other than that, I’ve only had one instance of messed up video display in about a month’s time. Using Win7 64 bit.

I bought two of these to save myself time when setting up at my offices. It is useful in having my keyboard and monitor installed, but the size is awkward, it tips over a lot, and it does not power my laptop while attached. I still have to bring my laptop cord everywhere I go. I have never had a docking station that did not charge the laptop, so this is a huge disappointment. If it weren’t such a hassle to ship them back, I would have returned them both.

Overall, I am satisfied with the product. Sometimes the extended screen won’t recover from sleep or a dock/undock but works well most of the time. The unit fits anywhere as it is no bigger than necessary. Do note this probably won’t give your computer area a clean looking setup, I have a whole bunch of wires and cords going into this thing and it kinda looks like a mess.

The software with this device will cause display problems.
I followed the procedure for setting up this docking station. The software installed incorrect drivers that effected the display
in the undocked mode.
The only solution to correct this problem was to uninstall the software.
I got better results by connecting the hardware directly to my computer.
