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
Definition: A unit for housing a portable computer that contains a power connection, expansion slots, and connections to peripherals, such as a monitor, printer, full-sized keyboard, and mouse. The docking station turns the portable computer into a desktop computer.

Se que se piden referencias por una razón, pero vamos que no me parece discutir, por algo que al final es totalmente subjetivo, y al final creo que estamos de acuerdo por lo menos en que es mejor la no-traducción que la mala traducción, que al final complica más de lo que ayuda.
Definition from Microsoft Glossary: A unit for housing a portable computer that contains a power connection, expansion slots, and connections to peripherals, such as a monitor, printer, full-sized keyboard, and mouse. The docking station turns the portable computer into a desktop computer.
