Hi,

I'm looking to purchase a docking station for the following specs:

I have no special requirements as it'd be for a standard set up (2 screens, mouse, keyboard). Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't know enough to evaluate what would work with these specs.

A quick look at the detailed specs shows that that laptop has 1 x HDMI and 1 x Mini Display Port so in theory you should be able to run two screens from them (I do something similar on my Defiance II). Of course this assumes one of your screens has a Display port and one has an HDMI. You'd also need a mini DP to DP adaptor or course.

Other than that, you're just looking at Amazon for a USB Dock - you should be able to get a fairly generic USB 3.0 dock (not USB C as that laptop doesn't appear to have a C port).

A quick look shows various options from this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Inateck-Microsoft-Surface-Adapter-Ethernet/dp/B0759LLX2K/ to this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wavlink-Universal-Docking-Ethernet-Ultrabook/dp/B075T6D9PF

Hi, Any idea if it's possible to dock the Lafité Series: Aluminium Chassis: 14" Matte using the USB C port? meaning does that port offer power delivery as well?
