I have an HP Compaq Presario CQ60 laptop. I am looking for a docking station. I have been told by HP that they do not make a compatible docking station, but I find it hard to believe that my laptop cannot be used with any docking station. Does anyone have a suggestion for me.

It's not unthinkable to not have a docking station. Scores of notebooks don't support them. They're usually only for business notebooks, which you don't have.

So I guess you are agreeing that there is no solution to having a single connection docking station for my laptop other than buying a new laptop?

Well, all a docking station really does is hold the notebook up and provide ports. If you got even somewhat creative with some sheet metal, I'm sure you could make one.

But, that being said, if your notebook doesn't have a docking port on it's underside, it can't support a docking station.

Though, I really don't know why you'd want one.

How else can I run a monitor and keyboard and mouse with the laptop close?
