Nothing says “Happy Holidays” like a contribution to the home’s wire-reduction program. The Kensington Wireless USB Docking Station can unplug your laptop from the wired mess. All those peripherals can get tucked away in a neat little place, connect directly to one of the Docking Station’s five USB ports, and get accessed wirelessly from the laptop. No more tether. Even better, the Station has an audio out port for external speakers, so even those can stay detached from the laptop. Yes, it’s a new, wireless world, and it’s all about freedom to move and stay connected. Don’t even bother wrapping this one. Just buy it now and set it up. Call it an early gift. No one will complain.
