English term or phrase: docking station
Definition from MicroLaw:
A platform in which you can install a portable computer. The docking station usually has slots for expansion cards, bays for storage devices, and connectors for peripherals such as monitors and printers. When a notebook (another term for laptop) system is installed in a docking station it essentially becomes a desktop system.

Example sentence(s):
  • This product is also the first docking station to allow users to connect through a single USB connection. Targus
  • We'd love to say that many have tried, but really, the bona fide docking station market dried up years ago in every sector save for enterprise, and while a few companies have served up "universal" alternatives, none of them were particularly well-designed. Engadget
  • Some models of docking stations are meant to stay at your home office and can be used with your laptop as a desktop replacement system. About.com

docking station


Definition from Den Store Danske:
dockingstation, inden for it anordning, som lader en bærbar (laptop-, notebook-) computer glide ind i et kabinet, så den sammen med kabinettet og en skærm samt et tastatur bliver til, hvad der svarer til en skrivebordscomputer (desktop computer), der bruger den bærbares processor, bundkort (hovedprintkort) og harddisk.

Example sentence(s):
  • Med den nye USB 2.0 Docking Station fra Targus kan alt udstyr tilkobles via ét enkelt USB-kabel. - Ugens Erhverv  
  • Når PC'en bæres tilbage til kontoret, anbringes den blot i docking stationen og fungerer herefter som en traditionel stationær PC. - version 2 IT leksikon  
  • Denne Docking Station giver også mulighed for at foretage en backup, men da både Vista og Windows 7 allerede har denne mulighed i forvejen, har jeg ikke afprøvet det. Det var ikke nødvendigt at installere den medfølgende mini cd af samme årsag. - nett!ps.dk

Votes in favor of/against selecting this as the best translation of the term asked
Yes  Mette Melchior: I agree, but it should be in one word in Danish as in the definition from the encyclopedia even though there are probably many examples where it is written in two words. See also http://nyeordidansk.dk/noid/noid.htm?q=dockingstation
