laptop + Targus Mobile Docking Station with Video

Hello guys,

Anybody got experience with this mobile docking station thingy ?
I'm thinking about changing my system to a laptop based system, so that I can combine my laptop and carputer in one. (also I'm fed up with the carputer draining my battery ... even with the opus 150W current protection I had to jumpstart the car)

The rough plan is to get a high performance small laptop (core 2duo 7200 & 12" screen) with a docking station and have all my extension parts (2xHD, Wireless, B/T, GPS etc) running of USB.

Unfortunately the Laptop I'm now looking at doesn't support a real docking station, so I wonder if this USB docking station is a real alternative, or would this just give me major headaches ?

Thanks for the feedback
