burlmart - Well I do not have a specific location for the docking station in mind. I was just thinking if you selected a place (i.e. under overhead kitchen cabinets), one could spend some time lacing in the wires behind, under, over along whatever so it looks as best as possible. Then you would merely dock the laptop and watch away. Most of the time you would not want your laptop sitting on a shelf out in the open, you would want to tuck it away somewhere - thus the docking station which keeps the cords all plugged in.
