Anker Nano 13-in-1 docking station

Anker’s uniquely versatile Nano docking station is down to $110 from $150, a $40 cut, and the cheapest this handy hub has ever been.

This is such a cool dock to hub because it’s a 2-in-1 model. On the one hand, it’s a 13-in-1 docking station that can find its home near your laptop, and on the other hand, it’s a 6-in-1 hub you can take anywhere you go. Most docks live permanently on your desk, but this one lets you pop off a smaller hub and take essential ports with you when you head out.

The main dock handles the usual desk duties. You get dual HDMI and DisplayPort outputs for external monitors, Ethernet for a stable wired connection, a bunch of USB-C and USB-A ports for accessories, an audio jack, and SD and TF card slots if you move photos or footage around. It’s easy and straightforward.

Then, if you pop out the smaller hub, you get the SD card slots, a USB-A and USB-C on one side, an HDMI, USB-C upstream, and USB-C with PD-IN on the other.

Now, while this dock supports a triple-screen setup, things are different on a Mac. According to Anker’s description, when hooked up to a Mac, external monitors mirror the same content rather than extending into separate screens. Also, video output runs through HDMI or DisplayPort only, not the USB-C ports, so plan your monitor connections accordingly.

But those are specific issues. For most people, this 2-in-1 Anker docking station is a great pick at $110, handling your needs while at the office and while on the go.
