No pci AND no network on any of the docking stations? This does not sound reasonable!!
I was at the Dell mobile computing event in Las Vegas Today - and I was able to look at the new docking stations - they did have a network connection, digital ports for 2 monitors, dual ps2's, parallel port. They really did a nice job on the new docking stations for the E series. Plus, they have some very nice monitor stands that work with either one of the new docking stations. You can just bolt on any flatscreen and you're good to go.
June has come and gone. Where are the E-series laptops? When will we get to buy them?
