In a world where laptops are becoming increasingly slim, the reduction in input and output ports can be a significant inconvenience. If you’re looking to connect multiple accessories and hardware to your lightweight notebook, a USB-C dock is an indispensable tool.
Right now, the Kensington SD2480T USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 dock is available for only $49.62 during Amazon’s Prime Day, a staggering drop from its original price of $180. This dock not only offers an incredible value but also comes equipped with a variety of ports to enhance your connectivity options.
Here’s what you get with the Kensington dock:
- 2 x DisplayPort 1.4 ports (single 8K@30Hz or dual 4K@60Hz)
- 1 x USB-C port (10Gbps)
- 2 x USB-A ports (10Gbps)
- 1 x USB-A port (5Gbps)
- 1 x USB-C host port with 60W charging
- 1 x SD and microSD card slots (UHS-1 speed)
- 1 x Gigabit Ethernet port
- 1 x headphone/microphone jack
It’s worth noting that this dock features only DisplayPort options, so if your monitor doesn’t support it, you’ll need an HDMI adapter that can handle 4K at 60Hz.
The Kensington dock provides enough power and flexibility to keep most laptops charged at a decent 60 watts, making it suitable for everyday use. While more powerful gaming laptops might push for higher performance, the value offered at this price is hard to beat.
This deal doesn’t require a Prime membership, but stock may be limited, so you should act fast—demand for quality USB-C docks is high, and this discount is unlikely to last long.
