Targus rolls out new ACP51US USB 2.0 Docking Station with Video

Targus Logo How about finding a device that makes every office peripheral overly accessible via a single USB connection? Happier than sandboy, right? Well, Targus has very lately heralded the latest addition to its line of docking stations – the USB 2.0 Docking Station with Video entitled ACP51US. The USB based device with video output capabilities enables users to connect all of their peripherals with minimal effort.

Now, connect an external monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, speakers or other USB devices often used in the office with the device’s single One Touch high-speed interface. Weightily, these peripherals can remain permanently connected to the dock, which dwindles the hassle of connecting multiple devices every time the laptop or netbook is set to use.

The most recently unwrapped docking station features an ergonomic tilt for a comfortable typing angle and helps in keeping the laptop elevated for ventilation while in use. The ACP51US comes equipped with two high-power USB ports for powering or charging high-portable devices such as a Blackberry, iPhone/iPod or camera.

“Our newest docking station offers enhanced connectivity, which improves efficiency and the overall user experience with the ability to permanently connect all of their USB devices no matter where they are,” explained Carolyn Perrier, vice president of product management and marketing at Targus. “With video output capabilities combined with an ergonomic design, cooling and high-power charging abilities, this new Targus Docking Station is the ultimate in business connectivity.”

Furthermore, the USB 2.0 Docking Station with Video brings to bear DisplayLink technology supporting monitor resolutions up to 2048 x 1152 and is compatible with Windows 7, XP and Vista operating systems. Its added ports take in Ethernet for high-speed network connections, one DVI video port, and two 3.5 audio ports for speakers/headphones or a microphone.

Users can lay their hands on the Targus ACP51US for $159.99 (approx Rs. 7,446). It is backed by a one-year limited warranty.
