Got a HP docking station - Now what? Too many compatibilities. Need a HP Guru

[QfanatiQ]

Can anyone give me any kind of advice or guidance on this?

I have got a HP 2012 120w Advance Docking Station. The HP laptop I already had is not compatible. However, since looking into this and seeing it can have a duel monitor set up I am keen to get something and take advantage of this.

My PC needs have changed greatly compared to what they used to be so I do not necessarily need anything graphically superior. Saying that I have really enjoyed the Sony Laptop I had with is huge screen.

Looking at the list of compatible HP laptop’s, I have no idea where to start. Whatever laptop I get, I want it to have HDMI out and be able to handle the two external monitors at full HD. Can anyone help?

1. Top range laptop, large screen itself and abel to handle 2x large montoros running full HD + HDMI out (for TV connection) and Graphically abel to run Adobe, Full AutoCAD and other 3D software. Also music apps like Reason, etc etc
2. Top range laptop, medium size screen running same as above.
3. Any possible worth while refurbed/second hand machines in that list that will do the job.
4. Medium range, abel to do the duel screen and HDMI, but not suitabel to AutoCAD and 3D apps.

Anyone, while i was looking it seems certain HP laptops dont have true aspect ratio on the screen set up. appears to be a minefield.
