The right dock depends on your laptop's port, the number and resolution of monitors you want to drive, and how much power your laptop needs to charge over the same cable. Start by checking whether your laptop has a full USB-C port with video output (DisplayPort Alt Mode) or a Thunderbolt 4/5 port — that single detail decides how many displays and how much bandwidth the dock can deliver.
From there, work through power delivery, display outputs, the port mix you use daily, and compatibility (Windows laptops behave differently to MacBooks). The factors below cover the decisions that matter most.
