    Hello,

    I have a dell 600m insipron laptop, and was looking to plug some extras into it (ps2 keyboard, mouse, printer, ethernet) so I was considering getting a port replicator, I searched around and found a few used on ebay and such, but I also found this cool stand that looks like it would really help deskspace wise and allow me to use my keyboard a bit easier (limited space desk)...

    I made up a webpage with the pics of the two items I was looking at and was hoping you all could go in and look at them and tell me can I use the port replicator AND the stand at the same time or not?

    Thanks for any replies or help on that,

    Having never had either item to see and use and mess with I am not sure if you can use them together or not like I am hoping.

    I can't say for sure, but I voted 'yes' on your site. It looks like it is attached on that second picture, so I'd assume it'd be okay. I'd call/email Dell first though to verify before you buy.

    Yes they are made to work together, although you can use the port replicator without the stand if you want. I believe you HAVE to have the port replicator to use the stand though.
