Our First-Ever Docking Station is Here!

#41

This one actually has better specs in certain random ways (like including displayport and hdmi outputs). It doesn’t have full USB-C PD though, with only 45W passthrough. And it isn’t TB3, and it looks a LOT odd to me. But less than half the price.

At this price, I actually expect two DisplayPort connections for the dock, not just HDMI. The dell dock I mentioned above has two displayport, an HDMI, and a USB-C WITH displayport. Your computer can’t actually drive all of those at once most likely, but the connection options are there.

And so another example we all different.

I only want 1 HDMI, but I deem ethernet essential.

But there must be a more intelligent way of solving this, a modular design.

Maybe this is a better link:

This is the link I first posted, but the launch url insider provided seems to be the one Ankerofficial intended…

#45

yes, we are different … different requirements … then again not everyone can be made happy :slight_smile:

the dock does not solve but complicates even further than the docking station I have for lenovo laptop … i can simply get a USB-C hub instead of a USB-C Splitter to HDMI…

Hope Anker creates a dock with more options (multiple HDMI ports, SSD, …)

I’m very excited for this. This will help immensely with my home office set up!

Good call @Shenoy @Insider @onstar so many responses and no issues raised…

Link updated until @AnkerOfficial can amend to the preferred option, launch or purchase…

wish it was more aesthetically pleasing/ minimalist

This is great, I can see where it has benefits but WOW it’s expensive. :money_mouth_face:

That’s a great looking dock and seems to have all the necessary ports. Would love to see an option to connect a second monitor (unless one of the USB-C ports can serve that function). Been having issues with my dock from another company that had a similar price, so may have to consider trying this one.

The USB-C next to the HDMI can be used for a monitor. In fact, you can connect three monitors if you get a USB-C to dual HDMI splitter.

Check out @Shenoy’s post #38 above:

Technical question. I think I already know the answer but can one of the Thunderbolt 3 ports in the rear downgrade itself to USB-C Gen 2? I ask this because of the image above shows three USB-C laptops.

I understand you can plug in any USB-C device in the front but will the PowerExpand Elite dock work with a USB-C Gen 2 host port on a computer? This is the dock I was waiting for but my PC doesn’t (and cannot) support Thunderbolt 3.
