ABSTRACT:
A portable computer is provided with comparable performance to a desktop computer when docked at a docking station. When the portable computer is docked or physically coupled to the docking station, the microprocessor of the portable computer switches to an increased operating frequency. The onboard power supply of the portable computer is also disabled on docking, and the portable computer receives power from the docking station. Increased heat transfer capability is also enabled in the portable computer when it is docked, providing increased cooling to the portable computer. The portable computer thus overcomes the normal performance disparity between a portable computer system and a desktop computer system when the portable computer is docked.
