Some would argue that a docking station is the single most important upgrade for a laptop. And if you're someone who wants to extract every bit from their laptop, I would probably agree. Of course, there are plenty of docking stations out there, with some offering a pretty lackluster assortment of ports and supplying hardly any worthwhile features.
We think this one from Brydge Stone delivers where it counts and also comes in at a price that's easy to afford. While it has an MSRP of $150, it can now be had for much less, with Woot delivering a massive discount that drops it to just $25. That's an absolute steal if you've been thinking about giving a docking station a try.
Get it while you can
The only thing we can say is you'd better grab it fast. Woot's been known to sell out quickly, and once it's gone, it's gone. As far as the hardware goes, this docking station is powered by its own AC adapter, which means it can power devices up to 100W without any issues.
When it comes to ports, you're getting a healthy selection here, with the front panel housing an SD card slot, two USB-A, and one USB-C port. On the rear, you get one Ethernet port, HDMI, and a DisplayPort. The side panel also features two USB-A ports and one USB-C port.
For the most part, this is going to be enough for most people. We like what this docking station has to offer, especially for the price. It delivers good value and won't disappoint. While we haven't had a chance to review it ourselves, the reviews across the internet from retailers like Amazon seem pretty solid. Get it now, before it's gone.
