If you uses your laptop most of the time in one place like a work station then this is a must. You have tons of USB ports, VGA hookup for second monitor and ethernet port when you don't want to have any issue with network. The keyboard and mouse are very nice but do find that they can be a pain to make the wireless work but it seems that a pair of fresh battries does the trick. The best part is when you want to uses your laptop on the go you just have to un-plug one connection and bingo you are on the go. Highly recommend that if you want this to be more on the go get a second power supply (base uses same power supply as laptop).

For the most part, this x3000 expansion base is just what I needed. It easily connected to my laptop and made looking at the screen easy and eased the strain on my neck.

Overall the unit is satisfactory, I was surprised how large the unit was when I placed it on my desk. The mouse and keyboard could have been made more sturdy.

I have had two of these and both broke down withing two months. Check EBay - there are tons of these for sale that are DOA. The concept is great and they are comfortable to use. The price at $175-250 is about $125 too much. I will not buy again. In fact until HP gets its service system fixed I will look elsewhere for all my computer needs. So you know I am not just a complainer - I have 6 computers, 4 printers and lots of peripherals - HP in many cases. The HP printers are great, this base is crud! The wireless keyboard and mouse are nice, but I'd suggest buying just those separately and skipping the base. In fact, buy one of the dead bases on EBay for a spot to park the computer and then just plug the wireless keyboard and mouse into the computer. I know it defeats the purpose of being as portable with the computer as we'd all like, but why spend the hundreds of dollars for something that breaks? Unless you really like spending the time with the warranty folks being transferred over and over - not me!
