Home Office Laptop Build / Suggestions

Looking for a laptop for Home Office use. Mainly webdesign and MS Office Work.

Need the following:
-Laptop
-Docking Station
-Ability to connect to 2 monitors
-The monitors have HDMI inputs, if DVI or VGA are needed I can arrange that

Not looking for a "DEAL" even though we are on RFD but looking for a solid machine and components.

If you have links please share them. Would mainly be from stores like Dell, Lenovo, Best Buy, Staples

Thank you in advance

I'd suggest a lenovo thinkpad.. their docking station is pretty good. Just drop the laptop on to it and off you go. Look for which model is compatible with each dock. Older version docks can be had on ebay/amazon for cheaper than retail.

Microsoft Surface Pro or the Surface Laptop if your budget isn't limited. I have experience with the Surface Pro docks and it's a lovely experience. The business style laptops from Lenovo, Dell, and HP will all suit your needs as well.

I use a Dell Latitude and dock for my home office. Dock has three outputs (DP, DVI and VGA).
