Baseus Docking Station that connects to a Laptop with a USB-C port. It is equipped with connections for peripheral devices such as 1 USB-C 3.2 port, 1 USB-C PD port, 3 USB-A 3.0 ports, and connects to a display as it has 1 DisplayPort 1.4 port, 2 HDMI 1.4 ports. It incorporates an Ethernet port for internet connection, a Card Reader for memory cards, and a 3.5" audio Jack for connecting headphones, speakers, etc.
It is characterized by features such as the ability to connect to an external display, projecting content in up to 4K resolution, fast charging for smartphones and tablets as it has a Power Delivery port, and compatibility with Apple devices. It is powered by the laptop itself via USB and does not require an external power supply. Finally, it can extend the laptop's display to up to 2 external monitors.
If there is a need for additional features that a laptop does not provide, then you will need a Docking Station. It provides extra expansion ports that the laptop may not have and can be particularly helpful if the laptop is used for work and needs to be moved to the office, thus providing a desktop computer experience.
Also, with multiple devices connected, a Docking Station reduces the number of cables needed, creating a tidy desk.

First of all, I have to say that I bought it from an international store for about 50 euros, and I take this price into consideration in my evaluation.
I have it connected to a Dell laptop via USB Thunderbolt 4, and I have two Dell monitors connected to it: a Dell P2419H 24" 1920x1080 60Hz monitor with HDMI, and a Dell S2721DGF 2560x1440 60Hz monitor with HDMI. Normally, the second monitor should be able to reach 144Hz through HDMI, so it seems that it doesn't have enough bandwidth.
I also have a camera, microphone, headphones, and sometimes a keyboard and mouse connected to it.
I don't connect the USB-C for charging because it's only 100w and my laptop has a 165w charger, so I plug it directly into another port. Nevertheless, I have connected it and it charges normally, I just don't know if it will get hotter when charging (probably yes).
Overall, I'm very happy with it, it works flawlessly and for simple use, I don't think you will have any issues. BUT, if you want more than 60Hz or a combination of high resolution-refresh rate, or if you want to connect an external high-speed SSD, I'm almost certain that it won't achieve high speeds (I think max 5Gbps). Nevertheless, for 50 euros, it's a very good value.
