I want to purchase a docking station for this computer, however most to them use a usb 3.0 port to connect them to.  If it doesn't have a usb 3.0 is there a usb 2.0 compatable docking station?

Your machine does have 2 USB 3.0 ports. Its specs

You can use USB 3.0 dock on USB 2.0 port but you won't get USB 3.0 speed.

 

Note: USB 3.0 ports normally have SS symbol next to them . Many laptops also show blue/cyan inside USB 3.0 ports.
