Well, yes it eats CPU if you have high res monitor and doing something graphics intensive, like watching youtube in full screen. I think it makes sense in daily office / coding work, but for graphics intense applications it's probably better with another docking solution. I've had the Dell D6000 couple of years now and under Linux there were some hickups and most are corrected now. Don't know about the new DL chipsets but probably I would choose another docking solution when I'll upgrade. For now, it serves the purpose for me, one cable to do everything incl. power supply and when I am doing something that is more graphics intense I live with the fan noise.
