Docking stations and hubs – expand your connectivity

A docking station connects your laptop to multiple peripherals and displays with a single cable, streamlining your workflow—especially if you move between home and the office. You can simultaneously connect monitors, keyboards, mice, Ethernet, and external storage devices.

A hub is a more compact alternative designed to increase the number of USB ports on your computer. It’s the perfect choice when you need a few extra connections without the extensive features of a full docking station. Hubs are lightweight and highly portable.

Choosing the right docking station or hub

Docking stations and hubs vary by port count, connection types, and power delivery. When choosing, check for the ports you need, such as USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, DisplayPort, Ethernet, or SD card readers. USB-C docks are increasingly popular for modern laptops, and many models feature power delivery (pass-through charging), allowing you to charge your laptop directly through the dock.

If you use multiple monitors, ensure the docking station supports your specific setup, as some models can handle two or even three external displays. Transfer speeds also vary, which is an important factor if you frequently move large files to external drives.

Docks for home and office

Docking stations are ideal for hybrid workers moving between locations. With your monitors and peripherals already plugged into the dock, you only need to connect a single cable to your laptop to get started. This eliminates cable clutter and makes setting up your workstation instant.

For home use, a compact hub or a smaller docking station might be all you need, especially if you just require extra USB ports or an HDMI connection for a TV or monitor.
