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

postolje za prijenosno računalo


Definition from www.tportal.hr:
XY, atraktivno i funkcionalno postolje za prijenosnike.

XY uključuje četveroslojni dizajn koji štiti ruke od vrućeg zraka iz prijenosnika. Najdonji sloj napravljen je od mrežaste tkanine sa zračnim te utor za prolaz zraka između baze i površinskog sloja kako bi se dodatno minimalizirao vrući zrak. Osim toga, prilikom korištenja prijenosnik nije cijelom površinom naslonjen na tijelo, nego dodiruje noge u četiri točke čime se omogućuje bolje prozračivanje.

Example sentence(s):
  • Pod nazivom XYZ dolazi zanimljivo postolje za prijenosnik koje sa svoje donje strane ima mekani materijal kako bi nam držanje uređaja na krilu bilo što ugodnije, a u ostatku sadrži ugrađeni zvučnik. - tportač.hr

priključna stanica


Definition from own experience or research:
Priključna stanica je uređaj kojim se prijenosno računalo pretvara u stolno. Sadrži modul(e) za napajanje, utore za povezivanje računala s perifernim dijelovima i/ili drugim računalima, uređaje za hlađenje i sl.

Example sentence(s):
  • Na službenim Sonyjevim stranicama osvanula je obavijest o povlačenju s tržišta određene količine adaptera za računala tipa 'sve u jednom' serije Vaio te za priključne stanice (docking station) - ITnovosti  
  • HP USB Media Dock kombinira mogućnosti priključne stanice, replikator porta i podesiv stalak za prijenosno računalo. Smanjuje nered na radnoj površini dok pruža raznovrsno spajanje i visokokvalitetne audio i video karakteristike. - racunalo.com  

Explanation:
Za razliku od priključne stanice, postolje za prijenosno računalo doista je samo to - postolje (iako danas mnoga postolja imaju ugrađene ventilatore, posebno su oblikovana, izrađena od posebnih materijala te služe i kao uređaji za hlađenje).

Želim također napomenuti kako je (kao i u slučaju mnogih proizvoda vezanih uz računala) općeprihvaćen i vrlo često korišten upravo izraz "docking station", iako valjani prijevod postoji u hrvatskom jeziku.
