English term or phrase: docking station
Definition from MicroLaw:
A platform in which you can install a portable computer. The docking station usually has slots for expansion cards, bays for storage devices, and connectors for peripherals such as monitors and printers. When a notebook (another term for laptop) system is installed in a docking station it essentially becomes a desktop system.

Example sentence(s):
  • This product is also the first docking station to allow users to connect through a single USB connection. Targus
  • We'd love to say that many have tried, but really, the bona fide docking station market dried up years ago in every sector save for enterprise, and while a few companies have served up "universal" alternatives, none of them were particularly well-designed. Engadget
  • Some models of docking stations are meant to stay at your home office and can be used with your laptop as a desktop replacement system. About.com

statie de andocare


Definition from Dictionar de calculatoare MS Press:
Statie de andocare = unitate care poate gazdui un calculator laptop sau notebook, dotata cu sursă de alimentare, sloturi de extensie şi conectoare pentru periferice

Example sentence(s):
  • Staţie de andocare seria BZ - SONY  
  • Staţie de andocare media pentru notebook HP XB4 (KG462AA) - Specificaţii - HP Romania  
  • Această staţie de andocare nu este doar un suport estetic pentru plasarea dispozitivului dumneavoastră de dictare pe birou. Este multifuncţională şi se conectează la computerul dumneavoastră prin cablul USB pentru a descărca fişierele voce rapid şi uşor. În timpul conectării la un PC pornit aceasta reîncarcă automat bateriile introduse. (funcţia de încărcare prin USB trebuie activată în meniu). Daca doriţi să încărcaţi bateriile independent de PC, conectaţi staţia de andocare la adaptorul de alimentare AC. O trăsătură extraordinară este faptul că permite dictarea fără mâini. Pedala opţională conectată la staţia de andocare permite controlul înregistrării şi al redării fără manevrare. - OLYMPUS  

Explanation:
In afara "Dictionarului de calculatoare Microsoft Press", aparut la Editura Teora in 1999, am intalnit aceasta traducere si in lucrarea lui Nicolae Ionescu-Crutan - "Dictionar de calculatoare englez-roman", Editura Niculescu, 1999, precum si pe siturile altor producatori de echipamente (HP, Sony, Philps, Olympus).
Forma "dispozitiv de extensie", intalnita in cateva lucrari, nu mi s.a parut apropiata de realitate.
