A system for holding a portable computer device is provided. The system includes a platform configured to hold the portable computer device. Also, a port replicator is provided that replicates one or more computer ports of the portable computing device. The port replicator is configured to attach to the platform. In this embodiment, the port replicator may be connected to the portable computing device such that the ports of the port replicator may be used to connect to peripheral devices instead of the ports of the portable computing device. Thus, the ports of the port replicator act as if they were ports of the portable computing device. Additionally, the port replicator is configured to be detached from the platform. The port replicator, in this embodiment, can be used to support the portable computing device when the portable computing device is not being held by the platform. Accordingly, the port replicator may be used as a stand for the portable computing device.
