Consider purchasing a
docking station, wireless
keyboard and wireless mouse
to use with your laptop
With a docking station and a wireless mouse and keyboard your laptop can function like a desktop at the office and a laptop when you need portability.
A docking station eliminates the need to reconnect power, printer cables, network cables, etc.
