Hello,

I just bought an Avon laptop and it is being built.

I noticed there is no option to order a docking station when buying a laptop. Is there a generic docking station one can purchase?

I plan on hooking up 2 monitors and a wireless keyboard/mouse.

I have to take the laptop to wok with me a few days a week and I am trying to figure out if I have to connect and disconnect the monitors each time.

Thank you,

Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of laptop folk showing up on a regular basis. The Avon is built off the Sager 9758, so I would Google it and a docking station to match.

Wish I could help more, but not a laptop guy.

There is no real custom docking station we have created for this laptop. You can use any generic docking station.

I've had laptops for years and seen only a select few with custom docks.  I've always used generic docks or USB hubs.  And the current crop of DS gaming laptops all have nice DisplayPort and HDMI outputs, I believe, so you can even get a multi-monitor setup direct from the laptop itself.  I run my LG 29" Ultrawide as my main monitor this way and it's been going very well.

What were you hoping for from a docking station?

Hi Thank you.

This laptop is for work actually and it needs to be transported back and forth. So the purpose of the docking station is to have 2 monitors and the keyboard mouse hooked up to it so I dont have to connect/disconnect daily.

I guess I can google a generic docking station and get one.

Okay thank you all. I appreciate the input.

PS. I am getting a desktop for gaming and I am trying to configure that at the moment, but I wanted something solid for work and DS has not done me wrong yet (unlike Dell and Microsoft).

Sure we can't convince you to just go with the laptop for everything, including the gaming?  Evil
