AMtek USB Loaded Docking Station is Netbook Sized

AMtek's USB docking station has to be the most feature packed docking station ever. Packed into a tiny package that would actually fit under most netbooks and bring them into a comfortable viewing height on your desk. There's both VGA and DVI connections for USB video output. USB audio output along with a microphone input rounds out the multimedia package. There's a drive bay that will hold an optical drive or a hard drive of the SATA variety. Just considering those features it's a nice netbook companion to combat the small screen, storage and volume that plagues netbooks as a matter of course.

There's still more to be had with this heavy hitter. An whopping 6 USB ports adorn the back but sadly none on the front which is an odd omission. There's also the true necessity of an RJ-45 network adapter available for connectivity. Blasts from the past serial ports and parallel ports are available as well if you happen to be stuck with some old peripherals that need them. There's no word on price or availability yet but with any luck it will make it out of Taiwan shortly.
