Power All Your Devices at Once
It’s a compact dock, but it packs a punch. You get a total of 14 ports to power all your important devices at the same time, in the same place. At the front, you’ll find two USB-C (10Gbps), two USB-C (100W Max), one USB-A (10Gbps), one USB-A (12W), and an audio jack. The back features an Ethernet, three USB-A (480Mbps), two HDMI 2.0 (4K@60Hz), and a USB-C Upstream port, along with an LED indicator.
You can charge up to four devices simultaneously through three USB-C ports at 100W max each and one USB-A port at 12W max, plus manage data across multiple devices with 11 options. The 10Gbps data transfer speeds ensure you won’t be stuck waiting around when moving large files; it’s up to 20 times faster than standard USB 2.0.
This dock also supports a dual display setup at up to 2K@60Hz with a DP 1.4 laptop or 1080p@60Hz with a DP 1.2 laptop – great for anyone who likes to multitask frequently. You can work on your main display (the laptop), while keeping reference materials open on the secondary screen. You can even use it for quick team meetings or catching up with family over video calls! Just note that when using the dock with macOS, the secondary display will mirror the content on your primary screen, rather than extend it.
You’ll appreciate the smart screen display present at the front of the dock, as well. It keeps you in the loop about the total wattage being consumed, connection status, and even provides visual overheat alerts. Speaking of overheating, this won’t really be a concern. That’s thanks to the dock’s efficient airflow system that allows for better heat dissipation, which results in stable performance. Additionally, ActiveShield Temperature Monitoring checks the temperature over 3,000,000 times a day to protect your devices.
Compatibility-wise, the Anker Prime docking station plays nicely with a range of devices. That includes Dell laptops, ThinkPads T14 Gen2 and X1 Yoga Gen6 models, HP Spectre 14 X360, Acer SF514, and Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 running Windows 10 or 11. It also supports ChromeOS devices like the Acer Chromebook Spin311. The box includes the Anker Prime charging docking station itself. A USB-C cable for the upstream port (3.3 ft, 100W, 10Gbps), and a safety sheet.
The docking station is now available for $170, down from $270 – an impressive 37% discount. Amazon has marked the offer as a limited-time one, so it’s best to grab it without wasting much time. We’re expecting the offer to expire soon.
