Does anyone use one, and if yes, is it worth getting? I'm gonna be off to college next year, so i'm wondering if i should buy a dock or not if i get a powerbook. Also, where can i find these docks?

The Bookends one is pretty pricy IMO...
I read before the users just use a USB hub and connect their mouse, keyboard, printer to one usb port just to say a few seconds...
IMO, i don't really need it since its a PB.. you have the trackpad, keybaord and screen.
You can always go wireless(bluetooth) with the mouse and keyboard if you wanted since the PB has bluetooth built in.
Save your money and get a good secure lock to lock it up ..

Excellent point. You could also use Wi-Fi for your network connection and AirTunes. That would leave you with a single power plug to deal with.

Think you can handle that, SassyPants?
