Is there a docking station for this laptop so that it can be used as a "desktop" while connected to a larger monitor, full size keyboard, mouse, etc.

Not 100% certain, but this dock is the one that I found that might work: http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:item.detail?GroupID=460&Code;=0A33970

You could use bluetooth for the keyboard & mouse. That would only leave you with plugging in the monitor.

The good news is that the connector in side the dock is a standard SATA port. The bad news (for me) is that a full size desktop HD wont fit. I had to use Sabrent USB-DSC5 Serial ATA or IDE 2.5-/3.5-Inch to USB 2.0 Cable Converter Adapter with Power Supply to connect my HD. Now I guess I look for a cheap laptop HD....Let me know if I can do anything else for ya.

I believe so. Check out HP site for information on which laptops with which docking stations.

No, its for the desk :( Pretty sure there are wall mounts the have laptop trays/mounts. Could look into wall mounted component shelves too, there's a ton of those on Amazon.

Yes, in concept. In reality, might be a bit crowded on the platform; I use a notebook/laptop and works great. You would want to clamp or secure the monitor so it doesn't topple off. And would need to be a smaller keyboard probably.

Hey, it doesn't come with a docking station. It is a very difficult thing to come by (I waited 2 months for an order from amazon.com and was told the order was cancelled), Razer themselves don't have any and there is not an easy solution even for a stand. To be honest Razer are a little disappointing when it comes to their hardware supply.

From looking at the external plug ins on the DV6 spec sheet there is not one for the docking station. Double check with HP but I would say no.

Yes, I just tried as you described using my Dell Latitude E5530 and was able to extend desktop onto two monitors (one via adapter, other connected to VGA port) while utilizing the laptop display.

There is a docking station option listed at the bottom of the amazon listing for this computer. I do not own it but it seems to connect through USB 3 port. Hope this is helpful. Check it out here http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AKUAWD0

I haven't used a docking station. The speakers I use connect by a cord. Sorry!

The desktop mode is through HDMI. By connecting an external monitor and using a bluetooth keyboard/mouse, you can effectively use this machine as your desktop computer. However, there is only ONE USB port and it is used to power the machine, so the "desktop mode" is borderline false advertising.

Yes you can. I use dual monitors with my docking station. One is connected to the laptop VGA or HDMI output and the other is connected to the dock. I keep my laptop closed and only use the monitors. One is set up as a mirror of the desktop. Hope this helps.

Sadly, no. It's the one feature this docking station does not seem to have. I wish it did. Other than missing this capability, it's great!

The previous answers have already covered the specific question, however I would add that depending on your laptop model, you should have an available USB 3.0 port on the side or back of it that is accessible when docked. Less convenient than permanently connecting the externals to the dock, but does work (that's what I do).

I use the work station just for my wireless keyboard. The keyboard is pretty long so there isn't really room for the mouse next to it, but there's room for the mouse right in front of it along with a bottle of water or cup of hot chocolate. I realize that wouldn't work with a laptop though. Either way it's tight, but depending on the size of your keyboard, it's possible.

Yes, but the important part is that you HAVE to connect one of the monitors to your laptop and one to the docking station.
