Inspiron DUO netbook compatible with a Media Base?
I'm trying to help a friend who mistakenly purchased a Dell Inspiron DUO (n5030) and now hates the small size. She likes the size and weight when on the go, but wants to use it with a big monitor, mouse and keyboard when working at home. I can't seem to find any conclusive information online and the Dell tech support was not too helpful. Is there anything like the media base at this link that will be compatible with this device:http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/latxt/en/html/mbase.htm#wp1191359 ? The DUO itself only has 2 USB ports, one of which is always in use for the wireless mouse that she bought. The DUO also has some type of port on the bottom that I am not familiar with and is located right in the middle, which doesn't appear that it would align with the port on the media base in the link. Thanks.

I'm surprised more Dell customers are not demanding a solution from them for this problem, as it seems that many netbook/tablet/laptop owners want a docking station option. My results with the Kensington solution remain to be seen. Item ordered today.
