ViDock2 Box
Works Hard, Travels Light
Today's world has evolved. People work from home, school, in the field, in their dorm rooms, classrooms, at customer locations, in airports, hotels…oh yes, and every once in a while in the office. But until now, using a laptop came with a price - the loss of graphics and gaming power, and the inability to upgrade to new graphics cards as they became available. Well, not any longer.

Boost 3D Performance
3DMark06
We plugged the ViDock 2 into a 2 year old US$700.00 laptop with a discrete video card. The Benchmark above shows the ViDock 2 improved the 3D performance by over 400%. When connected to one of today’s mainstream laptops you can achieve benchmarks over 8000 Marks!
These results were obtained using real world settings, such as 1280 x 1024 resolution, aliasing turned on and ATI quality features set to default. The two crops to the left show how this performance translates into higher image quality, which equates to a more enjoyable game experience.
Upgradability
Video cards usually move into the next generation about every year. Anyone can upgrade the video card in their ViDock 2 to the newest video card available in less than 5 minutes! Just open the ViDock 2 by turning the thumb screws, unplug your old card and plug in your new card, then close it and tighten the thumb screws. There you have it…your laptop can now use the most current desktop video card and the only thing you have to buy is the desktop video card itself.
