Laptop + docking station

Might look into this - thanks.

One of things I'm keen on is to use the laptop screen and a single monitor so that I have a dual display. I'm not sure that is possible from what you're saying above?

It's possible - I have two screens plus the laptop screen in the middle of them, but I could configure it to mirror the same display on all screens if I wanted to.

Depends if laptop has external display option i.e. HDMI, VGA, DisplayPort etc...

If it does then get a laptop stand - I use one of these -

then just connect up external monitor, keyboard and mouse (wireless makes it easier)...
