Transform Your Laptop into a Desktop

Laptops have come of age in the last few years. Their processing power and memory have increased to where they can rival most desktop computers. The only problem is that they are made to be thin and portable and there are few ports to support peripherals. There are a lot of connection docks out on the market for both windows-based and Apple laptops. Today I want to share one that, while it's pricier than many, is not only a quality product but delivers on making your laptop into a desktop unit.

Sandberg now has a USB-C All-in-1 docking station that I think stands apart from its competition. First is its design. It is made to fit under the back of your laptop, providing an ergonomic tilt to the keyboard and conserving the limited space you have (think airline fold-down tables.) It also helps if your laptop is running hot by allowing better airflow.
​
Here are the specifications:
  • Aluminum construction, 11.6 ounces, 10.6” X 2.9” X .8”
  • 1 x USB-C (power supporting up to 100W), 1 x HDMI, 1 Mini DisplayPort, 1 x VGA female, 3 x USB 3.0 A, 1 x RJ45, 1 x audio output, 1 x security lock slot
  • 1 x SD card reader slot supporting SD/SDHC/SDXC/MMC
  • Micro SD/TF card reader slot
  • RJ45 connector supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet
  • 3.5mm audio jack supporting audio sample rate at 192KHz/24bit
  • HDMI Resolution up to max 4K/2K @ 30Hz (1920 x 1080P @ 60Hz)
  • DisplayPort resolution up to 4K/2K @ 30Hz (1920 x 1080P @ 60Hz)
  • VGA resolution up to 1920 x 1080P @ 60Hz
  • Supports simultaneous output at DisplayPort+HDMI and DisplayPort+VGA
  • Automatic recognition of monitor type, resolution, and features
