The Bottom Line The HP xb2000 notebook expansion base features most of the important ports, as well as a great set of speakers and a wireless keyboard and mouse, but it's very expensive. The Targus Universal Notebook Docking Station with Video would be a winner if the VGA-over-USB experience were more fluid; however, video performance is so poor that we'd wager most people won't use it. With a decent variety of ports, a pair of speakers, and a modular bay, the IBM X4 UltraBase will give your ThinkPad X40 a multimedia boost.
