This 13-in-1 dock with a detachable hub supports everything from triple display output to 100W laptop charging over a single cable.

Best for: Remote workers, creators, gamers, and office professionals who
want a multi-monitor setup at home with a compact travel hub for on the move.

The deal: The Anker Nano 13-in-1 dock is discounted to $120 (was $150) at Amazon . In the UK, the dock is now 100 (was 130) .

Why we like it: This docking station features 13 ports, with support for three-monitor set ups, and a 100W PD for charging smaller devices like phones and laptops. But what really stands out to me is the detachable 6-in-1 hub. So, you can leave the bulky main hub on your desk and take the small unit
with you on the commute.

The catch: macOS users will get mirrored external displays, rather than independent extended displays. If you don't need the extra ports and power delivery, a cheap docking station for hooking up mice and keyboards is perfectly suitable. Save $30 Anker Nano Laptop Docking Station: was $149.99 now $119.99 at Amazon

We love useful gadgets like this docking station, with its 13 ports, 100W Power Delivery for laptops, and support for three monitors over HDMI and DisplayPort. But the star of the show for us is the detachable hub, which
lets you take the 6-in-1 hub with you when you're away from your desk.

In the UK: now 100 (was 130) View Deal Why we recommend it The triple
display support is the main draw for a home office upgrade. Switching from a single laptop screen to two or three monitors through one cable is one of the most noticeable productivity upgrades you can make to a desk setup.

Anker's combination of two HDMI ports and a DisplayPort covers most monitor configurations without adapters. This allows up to 4K at 60Hz on a single screen, or dual 2K at 60Hz.

The detachable 6-in-1 hub is a genuinely practical design choice. It means
the dock doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing desk fixture; you can pull the smaller hub off and take it with you when you only need basic connectivity away from your main setup.

100W of pass-through charging is enough for most laptops on the market, so this can realistically replace your laptop's charger at the desk while also handling displays, Ethernet, and peripherals through the same cable. Price Context & Historical Value A $30 drop from $149.99 to $119.99 is a 20 percent discount. Third-party price tracking shows this dock has dipped as low as $104.49 previously, so $119.99 is a solid price but not the lowest it has
ever been. It is still a meaningful saving over the regular price for anyone who has been waiting to buy. Should you buy it? Buy the Anker Nano docking station if... you want to run two or three monitors off a single laptop
cable, you need Ethernet for a more reliable home office connection than Wi-Fi, or you want a hub that detaches into a smaller, travel-friendly piece when you do not need the full docking setup.

Skip the Anker Nano docking station if... your laptop or monitors cannot
make use of triple display output, you need faster charging than 100W for a larger laptop, or you are looking for the absolute cheapest single-purpose USB-C hub rather than a full docking station. The Catch: What to know before you buy Since macOS doesn't support Multi-Stream Transport over USB-C, and this docking station use a single-cable setup, monitors will mirror the main screen, instead of showing independently. That's not an issue on Windows.
User reviews also note that charging speed can be slower when the dock is
also driving multiple displays and peripherals at once, so heavy multitaskers with power-hungry laptops should keep expectations realistic. See more
