Developers looking for a smarter way to juggle multiple devices have a new option: Anker’s latest docking station. It combines the convenience of a pop-out hub with advanced power delivery, allowing users to switch between laptops and external monitors without unplugging a single cable.
The device is designed to cut down on workspace clutter while improving workflow efficiency. Its pop-out hub can be detached for portability, yet it retains all connections—USB-C, HDMI, and Ethernet—ready for instant reconnection. This means no more wrestling with cables when moving from one setup to another.
Performance is another key feature. The docking station supports up to 85W power delivery, ensuring that connected devices like laptops and monitors receive stable, high-speed charging without overheating. For developers working with power-hungry setups, this translates to longer battery life and cooler operation.
The new model also includes a built-in KVM switch, allowing seamless switching between two different computers using just one set of peripherals. This is particularly useful for development environments where multiple machines are used simultaneously.
While the docking station is already available at its best price, users should keep an eye on future updates. Anker has hinted at additional features in upcoming releases, including better thermal management and even more compact designs.
