The benefits of a laptop docking station

Laptop hubs and docking stations are the desktop accessory you need for an efficient, organized workspace. With options that charge your laptop, handle all your peripherals (mouse, webcam, USB headset, etc.) from one USB port, enable simple dual monitor output, and improve laptop performance, the question isn’t if a docking station is right for you, it’s which one?

Work from home

One of the biggest problems with laptops is how much heat they create when used for long stretches of time. Overheating can cause laptop performance issues and often the built-in fans can’t keep up with the rising temperature. The CA Essential DS-2000 has a built-in fan that has been tested and engineered to cool down your laptop while you work. We know what it is like to work long hours with a machine putting off a lot of heat, and our engineers solved the problem—no need to risk overheating your device and losing your work.
