Personally, I find it hard to use a PC unless it has two monitors. It's just nice to have something on the side while I'm working away on the main monitor. Some people have a need for five monitors, and I can't even wrap my head around how I'd even begin to use that number of screens, but I respect (and fear) the people who do. If you're one who enjoys multiple monitors, you'll like this new Plugable dock announced at CES 2025 that can handle your love for a huge array of screens.

The company claims that the docking station is the first to achieve such a feat, with the support of four 4K monitors and one 8K monitor. It even has a 140W Power Delivery port so you can charge your device while you commandeer your monitor-rich battle station, two USB-A ports, a USB-C port, an Ethernet port, and audio jacks so you can connect everything you need with ease.
Plugable also has a handy way of checking in on your hub. If you turn it on but don't have a computer connected, the hub will display a screen that shows you its current status, what it's doing, and information on how to set it up and perform simple troubleshooting.
