Hi Michael -

I have a V505EL with the optional port replicator (so my work space isn't
surrounded by cords since the V505 has its interfaces on both sides...
everything connects from the rear of the unit when docked) and I'm happy
with it. When I'm at my desk I have it docked to the port replicator with
my external monitor, printer, scanner and mouse connected. When away from
my desk, I have a 4.39 pound notebook with excellent battery life.

Everything works dandy for me.
