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
