    HARDWARE

    By Lincoln Spector

    Do you know anyone who uses a desktop PC anymore? Not sure I do. Laptops have plenty of power, and you can take them anywhere.

    But they also have limitations. For example, most portables’ keyboards still feel somewhat cramped and slow, compared to a good standalone model — especially for anyone with large hands. Moreover, laptop screens are relatively small and there’s only one. Many newer portables no longer include an Ethernet port — always a faster and more reliable network connection than Wi-Fi. In fact, most of today’s ultra-portable machines have just one or two ports.

    The solution? Buy a multi-port docking station.
