Hi all,
I have an acer laptop I bought a couple of months ago (some of you may recall the thread in which I was trying to decide how much to spend and on what machine). It works fine, but I'd like to be able to use it with the lid closed on a normal screen and keyboard. My eyesight isn't quite as good as it used to be, and there are times that I'd like a large area of a document displayed while still being large enough to see small details. Since this laptop doesn't have a dedicated docking port, I think that's where a port replicator and larger monitor come into the picture. Any advice from you folks who have done this before? Stuff to avoid, features I may not be thinking of that are nice to have?
