Looking for Cheapest Deals on a Laptop Dock

Ltacos4brekkie on 24/03/2020 - 12:13

Hi all,

I recently purchased a laptop for office,home and gaming. I have an external monitor and am planning to buy one more for a better work space. Was just wondering if there were any really cheap deals on laptop docks going around at the moment? I often go around from site to site, but when I'm at home, I would love to be able to plug in just through the USB-C port and have everything ready to go. Currently am always having to re-connect and disconnect 4-5 cables every time I get home and I do realize at this point I'm asking for a luxury but I have the funds so I figure might as well.

Thanks in advance.

    If you only need one external monitor you can get something like this
    https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07SHR5JKR/ref=ppx_yo_d…

    It does power passthrough if you have usbC-pd ports. So you plug in monitor, keyboard, mouse and usb C power input etc then connect to laptop with the usb C cable. Tons of brands on amazon. I think Kogan also sells them

    I have a Dell WD19TB dock (thunderbolt) which includes a power supply and multiple monitor outputs, but it's much more expensive.

    I bought this one:

    USB C Type C MultiPort 7-in-1 Adapter Hub Converter with 4K HDMI, USB 2.0 & 3.0, TF/SD Slots, PowerPassThru Port by GizmoGood https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07G9HPCVR

    $39.95, free delivery.

    Has all the basic features including passthrough charging (which some cheaper ones don't).

    Not an endorsement by any means - just letting you know that kind of products exist. Read the reviews and do your research.

    This may or may not be relevant for you. I've got the jumpgate by Skull&Co https://skullnco.com/products/jumpgate-for-nintendo-switch
    Primarily for the switch but can detach a part which has a usb-c to usb-c power, hdmi and 2* usb 2.0 ports. I've got it connected to my work laptop and works well on my 34 ultrawide.
