Docking stations let you connect monitors, wired network, keyboard, mouse and other USB devices to your laptop with a single cable. They are a convenient way to turn a laptop into a full workstation.
Before buying, check that your laptop’s USB-C port supports video output (DisplayPort Alt Mode) or Thunderbolt, and for charging through the dock – Power Delivery too. Docking stations differ in their set of ports and the number of monitors they support.
If you want to use several monitors, compare the dock and laptop specifications. Information about your laptop’s ports is available on the official GIGABYTE website.
Docking stations are especially useful if you often connect and disconnect your laptop at your desk: instead of plugging in several cables every time, you connect one – and the monitor, network and all peripherals work straight away.
