Question Docking station recommendations?

[Cheeky K]

Looking for a docking station or hub that I can use with my 2022 usb c work HP laptop and my 2021 LG gram thunderbolt 4 personal laptop.

Needs:

• dual independent HDMI monitors to be able to extend to, not mirror or duplicate. Dell monitors, about 4-5 years old, don't know specs beyond that.
• at least 2 usb A ports for mouse and logitech mx keys rechargeable keyboard
• keep above peripherals plugged in and switch out laptops

I don't think the work laptop has a thunderbolt usb, and I am more concerned with the dock/hub being compatible with both my computers. Using remote desktop to log into work while recovering from surgery. I am assuming that the work laptop has the ability to extend to multiple monitors, but was not able to get laptop to recognize a 2nd HDMI monitor on the work provided twelve south staygo hub and suspect this is not meant for dual monitors.

Looking for something mid price range, and crucial that I can extend to 2 external hdmi monitors. Looking at options below, but am open to recommendations. Wavlink was another brand I was looking at, but it is Chinese owned and read about issues with their routers having backdoor access to hackers, not sure if that is relevant. Thanks for your help.

For your setup, I’d recommend looking into the CalDigit USB-C HDMI Dock or the Anker PowerExpand 13-in-1 USB-C Dock. Both support dual independent HDMI monitors and should work well with your HP and LG laptops, even if the HP doesn’t have Thunderbolt. They also have multiple USB-A ports for your mouse and keyboard.

These docks are reliable, mid-range options, and switching between laptops is simple as long as both use USB-C. Make sure to double-check if your work laptop supports dual monitor output via USB-C. If not, you might need a dock with DisplayLink technology to handle dual monitors. Hope this helps!
