Overview
Plugging a laptop into this Anker dock with one USB-C cable, you add two monitors, Ethernet, three USB-A ports and audio while charging the laptop. Its own power adapter supplies the dock and a separate fast-charge port for a phone.
One cable for monitors, network, accessories and charging makes a laptop desk setup quick to dock and undock. Dual monitors run at a low refresh rate, and power-hungry laptops may charge slowly.
Who it's for
Home office workers with a USB-C laptop get a tidy one-cable desk. Gamers and creators needing high refresh multi-monitor output or high wattage charging should look at a Thunderbolt dock.
Pros and cons
- Two monitor outputs
- Wired Ethernet port
- Laptop charging through one cable
- Separate fast charge port
- Dual 4K limited to 30Hz
- Laptop charging capped at moderate wattage
- No SD card reader listed
Performance notes
Display output depends on bandwidth shared over one USB-C link, so dual high resolution screens run at a low refresh rate that suits documents more than video games. The included adapter powers the dock and passes charging to the laptop.
