Do you have enough sockets to do something similar?
I do, just, but one of the appeals of a hub is having to plug in fewer wires when I get in of a morning :) At present I have to do 4 (power, HDMI in, USB hub, headphones). I blame Dell, who basically only make[*] two kinds of machines: (1) "office" machines, which have docking stations but are weedy and (2) "gaming" machines, which are powerful but don't come with such tiresome things as docks. A docking station would sort all of this nonsense out.
Is it worth jigging things around to use only 1, 6 and 7 and see if that makes a difference?
It's certainly worth it (and thanks for digging that out of the review, I hadn't spotted it!) Sadly, my keyboard (6) has "hung" twice in the time it's taken me to type this!
[*] or made, when I was choosing this laptop two years ago, they may have rectified this.
