If you have a Studio Display or iMac, there’s a good chance it’s sitting a bit too low on your desk, forcing you to hunch forward. Instead of a pile of books, you can take care of two problems at once with Anker’s 12-in-1 monitor stand on sale for $174, a massive 30% discount.
The best part is that Anker doesn’t do things halfway, so this product serves two purposes. On the one hand, it raises your screen, and on the other, it gives you a 12-port docking station. As a bonus, you also get some extra room to tuck away your keyboard and mouse for an instant clean desk.
This absolute workhorse comes with a 100W USB-C upstream port that lets you charge your laptop through a single cable while running everything else. There are 11 other connections available, including three USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, a 4K HDMI output, an Ethernet jack for a speedy internet connection, SD and microSD card slots, an audio jack, and even a built-in wireless charging pad so your phone tops up right on the stand.
One thing to know about this Anker gadget is that video output only works through the HDMI port, so you only get an extra screen to play with. The USB-C ports can handle power and data, but they don’t support video.
For $174, you’re getting a cleaner desk, a comfier setup, and one cable that powers your whole workspace. That’s a heck of a deal.
