Dell XPS M1210 12.1″ Laptop

As you can see the M1210 has a total of 6 cables that need to be connected/disconnected as and when the laptop is moved.

These are:

2 x USB
1 x VGA
1 x Power
1 x Network
1 x 3.5m Audio Out.


Dell Latitude D420 12.1″ Laptop Docked

A D420 docked still has cables but the “cable hell” is significantly reduced. To dock a D420 you just place the laptop on the Docking station. All the cables are already connected to the port replicator in the dock. So you just Dock on / Dock Off. On the M1210 I have to do major heart surgery.
