Anker has a brilliant docking station that’s unlike any dock you’ve probably used. It has a detachable hub inside, allowing you to pop it out and use it for extra laptop ports while on the go, then pop it back in for full coverage when you’re at your desk. Normally $150, it’s now on sale for just $110 at Amazon, the best price we’ve seen for it.

When used in its full glory, it plugs into your laptop’s USB-C port and provides 13 ports, including double 4K HDMI, a DisplayPort, double USB-C, double USB-A, SD/microSD slots, and a USB-C charging port with 100W passthrough charging.

Pop out the inner hub with a simple button press and you get 6 ports you can take with your laptop: 4K HDMI, USB-C, USB-A, SD/microSD slots, and USB-C charging with 85W passthrough.

What does that mean? At your desk, it empowers your laptop to support triple high-res monitors and all the peripherals and accessories you need for a productive home office workstation. On the go, it gives you all the ports you need to connect drives, cards, a portable monitor, and keep your laptop topped up.

It’s a must-have for laptop power users, and it’s a deal now that it’s $40 off at Amazon. If it’s not the right one for you, see PCWorld’s picks for the best USB-C hubs and best Thunderbolt docking stations.
