A platform into which you can install a portable computer. The docking station typically contains slots for expansion cards, bays for storage devices, and connectors for peripheral devices, such as printers and monitors. Once inserted in a docking station, the portable computer essentially becomes a desktop model computer. When it is taken out, it becomes a portable computer again. Most importantly, the same data is accessible in both modes because it resides on the portable computer's drives. The idea behind docking stations is to let you simultaneously enjoy the expansion possibilities of desktop model computers with the portability of notebook computers. In addition, the docking station enables you to use a full-size keyboard and monitor when you're not traveling.

A docking station is a part of a portable computer that remains on a desk, containing hardware that is not needed when on the road, while a smaller section detaches to provide a lighter laptop. Docking stations are often used to outfit a light-weight ultraportable so that it is more of a desktop replacement, for use at home. Docking stations provide for extra connections like slots for expansion cards but a port replicator does not. Extra devices that a docking station can support include: hard drive bays, optical drive bays, keyboard/mouse connectors (PS/2 ports), additional USB ports, PC Card slots, external display connectors, and a variety of other devices that are deemed to be unnecessary on a laptop and/or add weight and decrease portabilty.
