Best Answer

A flat platform with a long plug protruding upwards, with an optical drive, floppy drive, and many ports and connectors, usually including power, Ethernet, DVI, VGA, P2, USB, and audio output. The laptop latches down onto it, and is connected through the single top plug to everything the docking station contains or is connected to. They are usually used in the office or at home, so the laptop can be taken anywhere, but when you return to your desk, you can snap in it, and instantly have power and internet, and use your full keyboard, mouse, speakers, and monitor(s).
