Thanks!
Looking at images of the L13 and I don't see a docking port on the laptop which means a USB dock. Depending on what you're planning on doing, you might get away with a USB hub... The only real benefit to a USB dock would be that you're only unplugging one plug instead of three... If this is for a home office, you can save some time and wear and tear. If you are doing this for on the road, that's a lot of peripherals you are carrying.
As for difference in home vs pro, we'd need to know your use-case...
