What exactly is a docking station?
Aren't computers just a device that sits at home?
Why would I need to use my laptop on a bigger screen?
What exactly is a docking station, imagine a personal computer that can be disconnected and reconnected in seconds.
For some reason, technology continues to advance and create new ways for people to work on products and team projects. Everyone has different needs when it comes to workflow and productivity. This product could be a great addition to your work space!
What separates this from a typical computer or a standalone laptop?
For people who cannot afford to have a dedicated PC but do own a laptop, this is a strong option to consider for wanting to view your work from a bigger screen. You have the option to have an extended screen that allows you to move tabs from the monitor's screen to your laptop and vice versa. On the other hand, you are capable of mirroring your laptop's screen to replicate the work you have open.
How does it work?
The majority of current docking stations use usb-c cables (as pictured above) to connect directly with tech products. As of now, the majority laptops made after 2017 have a usb-c port. The reason usb-c ports are more commonly used compared to other connection sources is because it's reliability with charging and speed for connecting to other devices.
This product is one example of a modern docking station. These small yet powerful devices sit at a desk and are used to connect a portable device such as a laptop or a tablet to connect to a monitor. This Kensington SD2600T has a compact design with a variety of options for plugging into multiple monitors. This device includes a 65W connection for charging any device with a USB-C connection.
The benefits of a device such as this include the versatility as it works with
MacOS 11 and above and Windows 10 & 11.
Why would people need that?
For someone like myself, I enjoy working on the go. As a student and a digital creative I tend to have less time to be in one place and leave my main device at home. There is nothing wrong with a dedicated PC, however you are not able to lug around a suitcase filled with wires and a heavy desktop.
There are many different methods of creating a personal at home set up, accessories and other options available to people who are interested in getting into the latest technology. Stay tuned and subscribe For more item updates and item how to's!
