All the docking stations I've used worked with a separate, dedicated
socket on the back of the laptop rather than the connections you would
use with the freestanding laptop. Otherwise they don't offer much (if
any) advantage over plugging in keyboard, monitor, power supply and
mouse separately. And crucially you lose the benefit of saving on time
which matters to business users who want to just unplug and go.

But I query if the saving of time would justify the cost for TMH.
