Which Docking station model is best replacement?

[nkemp]

My docking station cacked out. I took it apart and it is very clear why. The Connector is held in by 4 very small tabs that break... and mine are now broken.

There are a variety of del models and some 3rd party models. The questions are:

- What is the best model to use?
- Did later models fix the weakness in mine?
- Do 3rd party models have more robust connectors?

Thanks,

NK

Mine is an x50V but I presume the same docking station works on the x51 series.

I don't even use the cradle, as a matter of fact, I think I sold it. I use the Belkin 3-1. Go from home to car to work. No problem. :approve:

Thanks Oditius ... that was something I planned to look into as an alternative. You saved me some searching:)
