Prime Big Deals Days have come to pass. If missed out on this two-day sales even hosted by Amazon to save on some cool things you didn’t know you needed, you’re not out of luck just yet. Some select deals have extended past the sale and are still discounted right now. Take a look at this Anker USB-C docking station. It’s not just a docking station as it doubles as a stand to put your monitor on. For the time being, Amazon still has it going for 32% off. That discount brings the price down from $250 to just $170. You’re saving yourself a solid $80.
What we’re looking at is a 12-in-1docking station that can turn your messy and clutter-filled desk into an organized space that feels good to sit and work at. It can hold up your monitor with it’s shelf-shaped design while leaving enough room below to fit your keyboard when it’s not needed. Push it underneath when you’re leaving your desk or if you’re like me and you’ve just grabbed yourself some lunch while watching a long YouTube video.
Raising your monitor can also promote better posture while seated, even if just by a few inches. It encourages you not to hunch yourself over at your desk, keeping the screen at eye-level.
Charge Everything at Once
Along the side of this docking station, we have a number of useful connections for all your peripherals and accessories. The Anker 675 is equipped with a 100Wmax USB-C upstream port to connect your laptop to, three USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, an SD card slot, a MicroSD card slot, an HDMI port capable of transmitting in 4K at 60Hz, an audio jack, and an ethernet port.
Across the top, you’ll find a wireless charging pad to set down your phone so it can recharge while you’re working. As far as data transfer goes, the two USB-C ports and three USB-A ports are capable of speeds of up to 10Gbps.
Tucked underneath the docking station is a sizeable compartment which you can funnel cables into, helping to eliminate clutter caused by disorganized cables just laying where they fall.
Designed with tough aircraft-grade aluminum, the docking station proved durable. Beneath the legs are some anti-slip silicone pads which keep it firmly in place. All and all, the work station measure in at 21.26 inches by 8.66 inches by 3.54 inches. That’s wide enough to comfortable hold most monitors available on the market.
