SONY SHIPS VAIO NOTEBOOK DOCK WITH EMBEDDED DISPLAYLINK USB GRAPHICS TECHNOLOGY
Dock makes multi-monitor computing easy for mobile professionals
DisplayLink today announced that its network display technology is now available in the new Sony VAIO USB Docking Station, a USB-based universal notebook dock now shipping to customers in the European Union, the United States, and Japan.
The result of a collaboration announced at CES earlier this year, the new docking station allows Sony notebook users to connect an analog or DVI display to a laptop using USB 2.0 – enabled by innovative multi-monitor computing technology from DisplayLink.
The Sony VAIO dock can be used with any display with an analog or DVI connector and a resolution up to 1600 x 1200. This, combined with the universal USB 2.0 connection to the PC, makes it possible for corporate IT departments to deploy these universal docking stations to any worker with a Sony VAIO or any other brand of notebook.
“USB connectivity makes this dock the most convenient yet in the Sony portfolio, ensuring that graphics images can be smoothly displayed through a familiar USB plug-in,” says Hamid Farzaneh, DisplayLink president and CEO. “The Sony VAIO dock with embedded DisplayLink expertise brings a powerful combination of productivity, simplicity and style benefiting both busy workers and consumers alike.”
With Ethernet, audio connections, four USB ports, headphone and microphone ports, and DC in, the Sony VAIO dock is an ideal complement for the constant traveler or mobile professional, allowing people to easily connect and disconnect from all the peripherals they need, such as an additional external monitor, mouse, keyboard and printer. The Sony VAIO dock supports Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista 32-bit and 64-bit, including support for the Windows Vista Aero interface.
Availability
The Sony VAIO Docking Station (model number VGP-UPR1) is available now and retails for 139 GBP. For more information or to order, visit www.sonystyle.co.uk.
