seems a bit pricy... my laptop lets you plug a moniter into the VGA port and extend it, dont really see the point, but then again, its not something i would use

This is aimed more at people and corporations who don't want to crack open a case... Remember the vast majority of consumers don't open a PC for fear of voiding the warranty or they just don't want to mess anything up. The UV Plus+ allows a consumer to plug something in via USB, just like their camera and instantly have a second display. This is one of the lower priced models too as a year ago this would have cost well over $100. This is also ideal for small companies who don't have an IT guy.

Well most laptops will let you extend to another monitor but the UV Plus allows you to add another beyond that extension, which is something your laptop and/or docking station can't do.
