If you like keyboard/mouse (I do because of bad eyes and big hands) - go with the docking station, otherwise you'll need a port replicator for the peripherals to avoid having to attach/unattach them. Docking stations are configured to a particular brand/type of laptop although Kensington makes a universal docking station. Not familiar with the Segar brand though, so no help there.
Checking the laptops of sager, I would truly suggest you take at least an i7-3820QM. Yes it's more expensive, but it's a quad core with hyper-threading.
And I don't know what you do with it, but if it's anything to do with video/audio, get a second drive. Having your work files on the same disk as the os disk can cause problems.Hope that helps.

For comparison, Skyrim is too much for my current machine. I'll also be doing work stuff, nothing crazy - a fair bit of work in adobe cs5.
But I had a question about having 2 drives. How does it work? Why would I want it? It does bring up an interesting point that I would love to have my work stuff segregated from games as it's not the coolest in my line of work to open it up at a meeting and have mass effect 3 as the primary start menu button. But can't you just do that by adding a partition?
