Pretty much anyone can recognize the value of a good docking station—that goes double for anyone who works from home. Many of us are primarily laptop users. It’s comfortable to work from the couch, bring it to a coffee shop, or always have it with you when traveling for either work or leisure. However, a docking station allows you to open up possibilities with a larger work space when needed. And right now, this 11-in-1 USB-C docking station is on sale for 23% off at Amazon. That brings it down from $130 to just $100. You’ll save a cool $30 on your purchase.
Sure, it feels fine to work just with the laptop alone but we deserve better than fine: sometimes it’s better to have a fully robust workstation. My desk has two monitors, each significantly larger than my laptop screen. This is great for viewing multiple tabs at once or for gaming or video editing. I have a mechanical keyboard with raised, clicky-clacky keys which I find much more satisfying to type on than the flat keypad of my laptop. The speakers on my desk are louder and deeper than the ones built-into my computer. I’ve got a drawing tablet, a DSLR I’ve hooked up as a webcam for exceptional camera quality, and a powerful microphone. My laptop simply does not support all of those at once on its own.
Most laptops might have two USB ports on it and that’s it. A docking station allows us to use all of these extra accessories when our desks and it’s easy to hook up to. Just plug in the laptop to the docking station and everything will be connected. Easy as pie.
All the Ports You Need in One Place
Let’s break down exactly what this docking station can do. On board, it’s got two DisplayPorts and one HDMI. Those allow you to connect to three different displays at once (four if your count you’re laptop’s own display) each capable of 4K at up to 60Hz. There is a screen lock button on top which you can press to quickly turn off all displays when not needed or stepping away from your desk.
As far as USB goes, there is a USB-C power input capable of charging your phone, tablet, or other devices at 100W. For comparison, the adapter that came with your phone is likely between 20W and 30W, so you’ll be able to get from zero percent to full with lightning speed. The Baseus docking station also has three USB-A data ports, a USB-C data port, and a gigabit ethernet port. The smart digital LED display will show you the status of every port, letting you know what’s connected.
Right now, the Baseus docking station is down in price by a solid $30 (-23%). That brings it from $130 to just $100 for a limited time.
