A4Tech DST-60C Docking Station

The A4Tech DST-60C Docking Station is a 6-in-1 USB-C hub for photographers, content makers and anyone running a 4K monitor from a slim laptop.

Its main advantage over the DST-40C and DST-80C is the HDMI port. It drives a 4K screen at 60 Hz instead of 30 Hz, so scrolling and cursor movement look smooth rather than jerky. You get two USB 3.0 ports instead of one, which suits an external drive plus a webcam or receiver. The SD and microSD slots read memory cards from cameras, drones and phones without a separate reader. A USB-C PD port takes your charger, up to 100 W in, so one cable from the dock to the laptop handles screen, files and power.

What it lacks: a LAN port and a USB 2.0 port. For wired internet, the DST-80C is the better choice.
