Today Wire Technologies is answering some of the most searched questions about Docking Stations:
- Do I really need a docking station?
A docking station allows laptops or other mobile systems to connect to additional peripheral devices by expanding the limited ports on the device itself. USB-C docking stations help provide a desktop experience from a laptop, granting an alternative solution to purchasing larger desktop computers. In the age where hybrid-working has become the new norm, docking stations offer huge benefits to ease the transition between work location changes.
- How is a docking station used?
Docking stations help to enhance productivity. Most docking stations include combinations of display ports, audio jacks, extra USB ports and a higher speed LAN port for a faster connection. By plugging your laptop/device into a docking station you have access to any additional ports you need as well as power and charge your laptop through a single connection.
- Are computer docking stations universal?
Depending on the brand of the model, some docking stations are only compatible with products built by the same manufacturer. However, universal docking stations offer equal and effective compatibility with a multitude of laptops.
- Which docking station do I need?
Firstly, you need to decide which ports you require your docking station to have and what you want to use your docking station for. You also need to ensure that the dock you choose has the same connector as the one your laptop/device has.
