I am looking at docking stations and the Toshiba dynadock® U Universal USB Docking Station<br />
includes some specs I am unclear on. <br />
Would really appreciate some clarification.<br />
1.) Built-in HD Digital Video card supports up to 1920x1200 resolution. <br />
All the screens I will be using are &nbsp;HD 1080, would it be best to have a docking station with that output or will the Toshiba simply adjust accordingly and there will not be any difference to using one with automatic 1080 output.<br />
<br />
2.) Built-in Digital Audio card adds virtual 7.1 surround sound though S/PDIF port.<br />
Does this actually add anything to your existing sound or does it simly allow you to use a 7.1 surround system with the station. <br />

Docking station - specs

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

An embedded system is a computer system with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electrical system, often with real-time computing constraints. Examples of properties typical of embedded computers when compared with general-purpose ones are low power consumption, small size, rugged operating ranges, and low per-unit cost. Modern embedded systems are often based on microcontrollers; the processor(s) used may be types ranging from general purpose to those specialised in certain class of computations, or even custom designed for the application at hand. A common standard class of dedicated processors is the digital signal processor (DSP).
