All-in-one portability with six essential ports: The Dock Pro consolidates HDMI, 2x USB-A, 1x USB-C for data, 1x USB-C for 100W PD charging, and a Gigabit Ethernet port into a single, elegant hub. This means you can connect a monitor, keyboard, mouse, external storage, and a wired network without juggling multiple adapters or dongles. The design prioritizes a tidy desk and fewer cables, making it ideal for minimalist workstations, compact home offices, dorm rooms, or travel setups. It’s a practical choice for professionals who routinely switch between devices, ensuring you have the right ports available when you need them most.

4K-ready HDMI output for vibrant, immersive displays: The HDMI port on the Dock Pro is built to support high-resolution video output, delivering sharp visuals and smooth playback for presentations, video conferencing, photo editing, and media consumption. When paired with a capable external monitor or TV, you’ll enjoy crisp color accuracy and ample screen real estate to optimize multitasking. This makes the dock particularly attractive for creators who need reliable external displays, as well as for business users who rely on first-rate visuals during meetings and demonstrations. The result is a seamless, high-fidelity viewing experience that complements modern laptops.
-
Robust charging and data performance through USB-C: One USB-C port handles data transfer, while the second USB-C port provides up to 100W of Power Delivery to charge your laptop or other PD-enabled devices. This enables you to run peripherals and keep your computer powered from a single connection, reducing the need for separate power bricks and outlets. The power delivery capability is especially beneficial for high-demand laptops and ultrabooks, ensuring uninterrupted work sessions, longer runtimes, and minimal downtime for charging between tasks. It’s a key advantage for professionals who value efficiency and reliability in a compact form factor.
-
Fast, flexible connectivity with USB-A ports and wired networking: The two USB-A ports are designed for quick access to peripherals such as keyboards, mice, USB flash drives, and external hard drives. The inclusion of a Gigabit Ethernet port gives you a stable, low-latency wired connection when Wi-Fi is inconsistent or when you’re transferring large files, joining video conferences, or performing cloud-based workflows. This combination of USB-A, USB-C data, and Ethernet ensures you can create a dependable, high-performance workstation in spaces where wireless performance is variable, such as crowded offices, apartments with thick walls, or environments with heavy Bluetooth interference.
-
Ergonomic laptop elevation and sleek, durable construction: Beyond its port expansion, the Dock Pro doubles as a compact laptop stand that elevates your screen to a more natural eye level. This ergonomic lift reduces neck strain, promotes better posture, and improves air circulation around your device, which can help with cooling during extended work sessions. The dock’s modern, understated aesthetic integrates seamlessly with most desks and setups, whether you’re pairing it with a MacBook Pro, Windows laptop, or Chromebook. With careful cable management and a stable, rigid base, it’s designed to stay put while you work, type, and create with confidence.
