Best Answer

Instead of having to plug a printer cable, sound cable, power cable, external mouse, and network cable into the laptop every time, these cables can be plugged into a dock. When the laptop is placed into the docking station, the cables make a connection through the dock to the laptop. A docking station is beneficial when the laptop is used in different locations often.
