Lenovo ThinkPad Basic USB 3.0 Dock

In the meantime, it is hard to imagine conventional office workplaces without notebooks, because they are not only space-saving and practical, but also particularly mobile. Due to their low weight, they can be transported without much effort and work can be done from anywhere. Switching from the office to the home office has never been so uncomplicated and easy.

However, working for long periods on a small laptop screen is very tiring in the long run, and the ergonomic advantages of a peripheral keyboard and mouse should not be underestimated either. In addition, the constant plugging and unplugging of the power supply, monitors and other devices during frequent changes of location is not only annoying, but also ensures that the connections of the notebook wear out faster.

Docking stations can provide a remedy here. Ready placed in the office and home office, all required peripherals are immediately ready for use and are connected with only one cable or by simply docking with the notebook. In addition, docking stations usually have more interfaces than notebooks, which means additional devices, such as a second monitor, can be connected. This combines the mobility of a notebook with the comfort of a stationary PC.
