MODEL- ACP45US VENDOR- TARGUS

FEATURES- Universal Docking Station
The Targus Universal Docking Station w/ Digital Audio is designed to
connect to any notebook with a USB port. Simply plug in the USB
cable to connect a network, keyboard, mouse, printer, speakers or
other external peripherals. The digital audio connection transforms
your DVDs or music into virtual surround sound for an in-home
theater experience. Other unique features include two high-power
USB ports providing twice as much power as a standard USB port,
which allows you to connect USB devices with higher power
requirements. In addition, these two ports have the Targus
exclusive "Always On" technology which keeps the ports powered,
even if the notebook is shut down or disconnected, so you can
continuously charge your digital devices. The Universal Docking
Station also includes anti-theft slot locks enabling the user to
attach a Targus DEFCON Security Cable Lock for added security. The
innovative ID design allows for natural cooling of the notebook and
provides an ergonomic and comfortable typing platform.
* Includes built-in digital audio for virtual 7.1 surround sound, 2 always-
on high-power USB ports, 2 high-speed USB ports and anti-theft lock slots
for added security.

"HORRIBLE PRODUCT!
