    I'm was looking to get a docking station for my laptop which is a Lenovo Z580 as I want to get a monitor more in my line of sight. Turns out there is none available for this laptop but I have come across this instead.

    I presume it does the same job and I will connect my laptop and new keyboard to this and work off the new monitor. Am I going about this the right way and is my thinking correct.

    Thanks

    Any recommendations on a good priced monitor appreciated also:)

    Can you not just connect the keyboard, mouse and monitor to the laptop? The Z580 has 4 USB ports, VGA and HDMI so plenty of connections available.

    If I can that's great. That's what I was hoping to find out. Will be mouse work on the monitor screen if it's connected via Bluetooth to laptop?
