Hi Jim, I use a docking station and have for several years. I?ve had no problems using a laptop with a docking station. I work for the Federal government, and they are assigning laptops to all visually impaired employees. In this way we always have our adaptive equipment with us, when we travel, take training, etc. We don?t have to rely on a 3rd party to provide what we need. Many of us do, however still use a regular USB keyboard, so we don?t have to relearn the JAWS keys for a laptop. This is only a matter of preference. Some visually impaired employees prefer to learn the JAWS key commands for the laptop. Just curious, but what problem did your office expect by switching to the laptop and docking station?

Hey: I'm about to trade in my office PC for a laptop and docking station?. The group that looks after such things is concerned with the usability of the docking station with regards to my apparent lack of sight. Do any of you use such devises and what are your general overall thoughts on them, if you please? Jim James M.
