Do these machines have the docking port? That's one of the best things about Lattitudes.

On one of the machines at work, we have two 1920x1080 monitors, the power cable, an ethernet cable (Gigabit ethernet, at that), a webcam, a printer, speakers, and a little USB-powered desk fan plugged into a dock. The mouse and keyboard are on the same little wireless dongle plugged directly into the laptop. Push one button and the computer completely separates from the dock, and all of the stuff plugged into it. Put it back on, and it all reactivates in a second or two. I don't think a better desktop replacement solution exists at the moment.

The only thing that would make this setup better is if they somehow integrated all of that using Thunderbolt or something, so you could plug it into the side and keep your laptop's thickness down. Oh, and provide support for external GPUs or something for the gamer crowd.

About the docking port, I believe the e7440 has a WiGig dock and WiDi capabilities...

Well just imagine if there was a link with lots of pictures showing the docking port.
Wait a minute, there it is, at the top of the article, right where it always is.
Gee Zarf42 you got your wish, someone else to do your job.

Dell needs to make more laptops with better gpu options. It's either alienware (ultra expensive dell's) or junk. I call the 650m junk (which is about tops in any dell that ISN'T alienware).
