My work provides me with a Dell Latitude E6410 laptop, which at work, I hook up

Most people who work at home do NOT need a laptop; This saves the company tons and tons of money by redeploying older computers instead of laptops. Yes, everyone WANTS a laptop, but they do not NEED one for home usage. You fail.

Jezz... you really are a muppet...

Your point was.... "The workhorse computer is needed in the office, not at the user's home."... so you advocating thay have 2? thats not cheaper that 1 laptop (esp when you consider licensing and support). And most people dont work at home 100% ... most are like me (and OP... lets not forget the original question!!) and spend some at home, some at office.. or travelling (e.g. sales people).

Anyway.. I a really done with you... you are a muppet and I have wasted more time on you than you deserve.

Cheers

You keep insulting people on here and this is NOT the place for that dude.

Redeploys, aka throw-aways or older computers; That is all that they need at home if they don't travel. Lots of people work at home, but never travel for business, thus, they don't need a laptop.

Anyhow, I would advise shochbrunn, to just get a KVM switch to hook-up his laptop to.
shochbrunn, if you already have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse (if not, your job should be able to provide one for you to use at home) at home, then just get a KVM switch so that you you can just hook-up two computers or laptops.

I work as a desktop technician for a large company and we have about 40% of our users who have a laptop instead of a desktop. They need to have some mobility with their computer.
So at their desk we're using : http/www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/adet.to?poid=408593

It's a universal docking station. You plug everything in the docking station and then you plug the docking station to the laptop with only a USB.

Well... I guess I stirred things up a bit! But debate is a good thing, and I sincerely appreciate all the comments. I tip my hat to all of you who spent time on this, trying to help out a complete stranger. I now have clear ideas about how to solve this problem, and that's due to this community. Thank you!
