Review on Amazon Basics Aluminum Type-C Docking Station - DisplayPort, HDMI, VGA, 4 USB-A, Ethernet, 2 Type-C, 2 Audio, DC (75W Charging) - Gray Pedestal by Dave Lopez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A very good set of old and new I/Os, 4 full size USB 3.0, a nice one and even a VGA port.

It's hard to find a device with a VGA connection, but some monitors, TVs, etc. require this or a special adapter. Also has HDMI and DisplayPort for more modern monitors or TVs. The high-speed video can stream 4K to another device and even has Ethernet and Type slots. I had to dig up an old laptop to use VGA to transmit to one of my old flat screens. It has the connector itself so I can use it as a monitor if needed. I use USB for storage, communications, wired mice, and streaming devices. 3.0 interfaces are much faster and can handle larger drives and are more responsive to gaming mice etc. Pretty much everything you need in a laptop is there allowing you to add larger monitors and storage media like DVD drives, solid state Connect hard drives and other things that you usually don't take with you on a laptop. For older TVs/monitors it has connectivity. So connecting your laptop to a TV in a hotel or an old flat screen at home will help. highlighted.
