HP 15-ay122cl

Purchased a HP laptop (HP 15-ay122cl ) for my son.  Would like to purchase a docking station, too; however, I don't know which model to purchase.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank You!

Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

 

From what I could tell checking the specs on the HP product page for your PC, it does NOT have a special docking connector -- so in that case, any "Universal USB 3.0" docking station will work.

 

I have not used those, as the HP laptops I have used with docking stations all were Elitebooks with docking connectors, so my suggestions are the following:

1)  Here is a link to some typical ones for sale online from Microcenter:  http://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.aspx?Ntt=usb+3.0+docking+stations&Ntk=all&sortby=ma...

2) Using those as examples, Google for reviews of the particular models to find out what folks think of each.

 

Someone else might come along with specific experience with USB 3.0 docking stations and offer better advice.



Good Luck
