A new laptop docking solution has plenty of ports and allows the laptop to be placed vertically, saving desk space. Modern connectivity and network standards are supported.
TobenOne might well deserve its name as a hospitality solutions manufacturer and is currently developing a new device for this purpose. The TobenOne 10-in-1 Adaptive Vertical USB C Docking Station ( ) is a device whose name promises a lot is a device whose descriptive name alone promises a lot. This is because there are plenty of ports available and the laptop is designed to be stored in the dock when not in use. This means that the laptop, i.e. the screen and keyboard, can no longer be used, but it frees up a lot of space on the desk. Of course, purchasing the 10-in-1 Adaptive Vertical USB C Dock only makes sense if this setup suits your own workflow.
A useful aspect is that the docking solution can be adjusted to the width of your own laptop, helping to avoid incompatibilities and wobbles. The connection between the dock and the laptop is established via USB-C, while the dock itself has a USB-A port with a maximum data transfer rate of 10 GBit/ s and two USB-C ports with the same speed. A USB 2.0 port is also present for a keyboard or mouse. Other ports include an Ethernet port, two 5Gbps USB-A ports, and two HDMI ports. It is also possible to stream 4K images at 60 frames per second. However, the connected laptop must also support these functions and be able to provide such high bandwidth via USB-C. Finally, USB Power Delivery with up to 100 watts is also supported.
The TobenOne 10-in-1 Adaptive Vertical USB C Docking Station is currently being developed through a crowdfunding campaign and is available to supporters for a starting price of $99 at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ verticalgen2/tobenone-vertical-laptop-docking-station-gen-2-ultra-stand/pledge/new?clicked_reward=false with delivery expected in December. The usual financial risks of crowdfunding campaigns apply here. People who are looking for a laptop stand and docking station in one product are advised to take a look at another product from TobenOne.
