One of the big draws to modern laptops is their exceptionally slim and compact designs that allow them to be easily stowed in small rucksacks. While such designs are incredibly versatile, they achieve this by compromising on the available ports and connectivity options. Devices such as the Plugable USB-C Laptop Docking Station provide a much-needed solution to this problem for users who want to connect their laptops to additional monitors in their homes or offices.
Designed to connect with up to two displays from a MacBook, it’s a powerful docking station that comes housed in a premium aluminum casing. In addition to HDMI ports for two 4K monitors, the Plugable USB-C Laptop Docking Station is fitted with DisplayPort, front-facing USB-C, and standard USB ports for charging smartphones and other devices. At the station’s rear are three additional USB 3.0 ports and SD and microSD card readers for photographers and other content creators.
Additional ports include a 3.5mm headphone jack for discreet music listening, an Ethernet connection for internet connectivity, and a 100W input for charging the docking station. It utilizes DisplayLink technology for Mac monitors and is fully compatible with the M1/M2/M3 MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro.
In addition to this impressive selection of inputs, the Plugable USB-C Laptop Docking Station comes with a two-year warranty covering defects and lifetime support from the manufacturer. It’s an essential accessory for Apple users working in traditional and hybrid office spaces.
