Exactly what I needed for my E6410
I ordered this docking station on the 20th, it was delivered on the 24th, which was one day earlier than expected. The seller's description was right-on, my box was the original Dell packaging, the Dell shipping tape unbroken. Opening the box, I found the typical Dell packaging with clear plastic wrapping and clear tape and it was easy to remove the power adapter and docking station.The docking station works exactly like I expected, the 130W power adapter charges the device quickly, actually faster than the 90W adapter I carry around with my laptop. All my tests were done with my Dell Latitude E6410, Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. No drivers were needed for the docking station to work.Docking the laptop is as expected, just line up the middle of the laptop to the dock and press down, the loud snap will definitely let you know when it's locked in. The eject light and power light will glow when the unit is connected. The unit will work with the standard 6-cell battery and the larger 9-cell battery. There's a slide on the top of the unit that'll adjust to what type battery you have for a easier line-up when docking the laptop to the unit.What was tested on the docking station and worked:-Audio out-All USB ports-DVI port (automatically adjusted the resolution to the native resolution of the attached monitor)-Ethernet 10/100/1000 half/full duplex (Yes, I tested all these variations with a Cisco Catalyst 2960 using a Gigabit Ethernet interface, and tested its auto-negotiation capabilities with the Gigabit and FastEthernet interface, all worked)-eSata port-VGA port (had to manually adjust the resolution to the screen's native resolution)What wasn't tested on the unit:-Kensington security slot (it's just a hole to lock up the unit so it doesn't walk away... the hole was there, so it'll work.)-Audio in/microphone port-Dell DisplayPort (this is a proprietary port designed for output to 2 monitors for a spanned desktop. I don't have the adapter, nor do I have a multi-display setup. The adapter can output to DVI or VGA, and the adapter can be purchased pretty easily.)This may just be me, but I did wish that there was a physical "Sleep" button on the docking station... My power settings are set where if I close my screen it puts the laptop into sleep. I have to go into the Windows menu and go to that little arrow beside "Shut Down" and select "Sleep." It's a minor inconvenience, but that's just my way of handling my power options and it's not worth taking a star out of the review. There are keyboards that have a physical "Sleep" button, so I'll probably just utilize that feature.In all, this docking station is exactly what I needed for my E6410.The seller provided detailed and accurate information.Great experience with the seller, great docking station!

On time and works great
Arrived as promised, new, packed and sealed in what appeared to be original Dell packaging. I have a Latitude E5420 docked, all the USB ports work as expected. I'm using a 32" Vizio 1080P flat screen TV as a monitor at present. I bought an inexpensive DVI/HDMI converter to make the connection. I also bought an inexpensive Display Port/HDMI adapter (I'll eventually have two monitors) and that works as well. I've used this same docking station at work, and they're simply great. The deck is angled slightly so that the laptop fits flush on the docking station and slightly elevated in the rear, but the design leaves plenty of room for the fan vents. The laptop seems to actually run cooler than when it sits flat on a desk. I don't hear the fan speed up nearly as often as when it is undocked.As I said, I've used this same model with this laptop before, knew what to expect, and I'm not in any way disappointed. Dell's price is $169.99, so this is a great deal for a new docking station.

it looks new but...
I *thought* I was ordering a brand new part, and that may still be the case but what I received looked like it was repackaged (well enough to protect it but not very professional). I also noted a sticker on the outside of the box saying the item was "refurbished". I'm guessing this simply means it was used and sold as new. I'm not sure how they would refurbish an unopenable port replicator. All that said what arrived was in working order (so far). I was also surprise by the power supply. This looks like an older model. I ordered a brand new version of this port replicator from Dell with my laptop and the power supply is much smaller (model AA90PM11). Seems slightly misleading that this would be presented with other "new" offerings on Amazon but the product was in good shape and is working as it should.

Great deal through Amazon and works great!
I ordered this for my work computer as I wanted to use it with an external display/keyboard and mouse. I am using this with a Dell Latitude E6320 running 64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise. It arrived in brand new condition with an OEM Dell power adapter. I wanted to use this with my extra 20" Apple Cinema Display (connecting thru DVI-D). They lock down our corporate comps quite a bit, so I was worried I was going to have to file an IT ticket to get this to work with the Apple Display. I plugged everything in and it worked right away! The locking/docking mechanism works well and the eject button is convenient. The dock is much smaller than I thought it was going to be which is nice as well. I have the extended battery and the laptop still fits great due to the adjustable slider on the dock. Plus, since this came with it's own power adapter, I can leave my original adapter in my laptop bag so I don't accidentally leave it at home!Ports I have used:USBDVI @ 1680 x 1050Ethernet (confirmed working gigabit connection)I would definitely recommend this for someone who wants to use their laptop as a desktop while at home.

Easy to connect and works great
I use one of these at the office but I work from home a lot. Instead of "borrowing" one from work, I found one on Amazon at a low price. This works great. I have my keyboard, mouse and one monitor (via VGA) attached to a KVM swich, which is then plugged into the docking station and my desktop. I can easily go from my home desktop to my laptop with the push of a button. My second monitor is also hooked up to the docking station via DVI (and also to the desktop via VGA using a VGA to DP adapter). I use the source button on the front of that monitor for switching back and forth. The docking station came with a new cord and power brick and works without issue. I push my laptop into place, press the power button and I now have dual monitors, mouse and a full keyboard.
