Re: Can 640m be "docked"?

Most actual inspirons (if not all) are not "dockable", you can use a
cheap usb hub to plug an external mouse and keyboard, but you still
have to plug the video and power (yes a 640m has an external video
connector) . I'd go with the latitudes, a bit sturdier and they have
the dock port.

Good luck

Have narrowed it down to Inspiron 640m or the Latitude
D620.

The D620 has a serial port which is useless as far as
I'm concerned but also has docking ability.

The 640m has all USB ports but says nothing abt being
"dock able".

Is it still possible to hook the 640m up to say an
external monitor if wanting a larger one?

How important is that dock-ability in your opinion
anyway?

Intended use would be an "only" computer for a college
student
