One exemplary docking station (10, 110) has a surface (16, 116) for receiving a portable computer (12), with a wall (50) and a latch (18, 118) projecting from the receiving surface (16, 116). The latch (18, 118) is movable towards and away from the wall (50), is resiliently biased towards the wall, and has an overhang (22, 122) that can engage a striker plate (32) of a portable computer (12) when the latch (18, 118) is moved towards the wall (50), so that the overhang (22, 122) restrains the striker plate (32) against movement away from the receiving surface (16, 116). The overhang (22, 122) can release the striker plate (32) when the latch (18, 118) is moved away from the wall (50). A release actuator (36, 136) operable by a user engages the latch (18, 118) so that operation of the release actuator (36, 136) causes the latch (18, 118) to move away from the wall (50).
