There are several reasons why you should buy a laptop rather than a desktop computer. The first is obviously the mobility it offers us and the second is the amount of space we can allocate to the equipment. Yes, space is not an issue, but mobility is, and we have no choice but to go for a laptop.
This doesn’t mean we have to give up the features offered by any desktop computer with its mechanical keyboard, gaming mouse and a much larger screen where we can’t take our eyes off. However, it’s a hassle to get home and start connecting all the cables, unless you use a docking station designed specifically to avoid this task.
Although it is true that you can use any USB-C docking station available on the market, we will probably always carry it with us to satisfy our connectivity needs outside the home. Fortunately, this type of doc is not the only one that can be found on the market.
If you are looking for a dock where connect all your devices which serves as a central device, the model you are looking for is manufactured Baseus and his name is Spacemate.
