Any Good and Cheap Docking Station for Laptop?

Harrison on 12/05/2016 - 21:25

Need a powered docking station, which preferably has at least one monitor port, 4+ usb ports.

I checked few like Toshiba dynadock and lenova thinkpad, they are both over $150. Any cheaper suggestions? Thanks

Almost seems it would be cheaper to build your own docking station, using a USB Hub and what not.

  I ended up with a Toshiba Dynadock 4K

    Wow, thought you wanted a dock that is $150 or less…
    
    Cheapest Toshiba Dynadock 4K is $273.77 from MegaBuy in QLD - a $120 increase from what you were looking at previously.

      true, I thought OP would have found a sub 100ish dock but can't justify 270 dollars for one.
