If your desk turns into a cable jungle every time you sit down to work, the Anker Nano docking station is for you. The best part is that it’s a two-in-one design that also gives you a portable hub to take with you when you work elsewhere. This 13-in-1 model is usually $150, but it’s down to $112 right now.
For daily work, this hub gives you everything you could need. A single USB-C cable connects it to your laptop and gives you access to a bunch of ports. The front of the device houses a 10Gbps USB-C, a 5Gbps USB-C, a USB-A, an audio jack, as well as microSD and SD card slots. Then, on the back of the dock, there are two HDMI and DisplayPort, two USB-A ports, and an Ethernet port.
For whenever you’re out and about, you can take the 6-in-1 hub with you. The card slots, USB-A and USB-C ports on the front pop out, revealing another HDMI, USB-C PD port, and another USB-C Upstream port on the back. No need to buy a separate travel adapter—it’s already built in.
You do have to keep in mind that when paired with a Mac, multiple external displays run in mirrored mode only. Windows laptops get the full multi-monitor experience. But for $112, this Anker Nano laptop docking station is an easy pick if you want one hub for both your home office and life on the go.
