Pay Raises from Universal Docking Stations

1. You gotta understand that additional monitors raise productivity. Microsoft claims two screens increase a user's productivity by 9 to 50 percent. See http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/08/technology/for-multitaskers-multiple-monitors-improve-office-efficiency.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 for a NY times article or Google/Bing "additional monitors raise productivity" for more proof. That being said, there is a point of diminishing returns when adding too many external monitors. The DocKtor recommends two to four, sometimes as many as six, depending on the application.
2. You gotta understand the additional benefits to a dock. For instance, GbE is much more secure and faster (read more productive for the user) than wireless. Almost all docks have Ethernet, with many offering wire-speed GbE. Today's modern docks also offer USB hub functions and some with additional audio ports. While these appear on the local PC at times, it is cumbersome if not inefficient to plug in all the associated cables in lieu of one simple dock connection.
3. Now if you understand the value of a dock, using a Universal Docking Station is preferred because it will outlast your PC. That is, most PC manufacturer's supply a proprietary dock for their PCs, but most often these will not work with the next generation of PC architecture, even within the same manufacturer, and let alone when switching from one PC brand to the next, or God forbid to a MacBook. I have never seen where a PC refresh that is not accompanied by a dock refresh. This simply is not possible unless using a universal solution!
