[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Looking for Docking station

[Steve Isenberg]

George,
It's tough to offer a suggestion until we know what you want to do with the
docking station.
What do you want a docking station to do for you?
Do you want to expand the number of USB-A ports?
Add some USB-C ports?
Provide HDMI?
Provide SD and Micro SD card readers?
This is what a "docking station" can provide and most appear to connect to
a USB-C port on your laptop and they are $50+.

If you want to expand the number of USB-A ports, then you would want to get
a hub.  Amazon has these as low as $4 or so, see
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0835L5HV6/ as it'll connect to a USB-A port and
allow 4 devices to connect to it.
If you want more USB-A ports, SD & Micro SD readers, and HDMI then you're
looking at around $30, see for example https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08PS854VP/

You could also visit Microcenter in Cambridge.

Regards,
-steve


Amazon has many options
