Hi all
I have a HP Pavilion 15-au077sa laptop and I need a docking station to use at work. Can someone recommend a docking station I could buy?
Many thanks

Consumer laptops like the HP Pavilion series no longer offer a traditional "snap down" docking station as in prior years. However, you can use a USB 3.0 port replicator. The difference between a PR and a dock is power. A PR will not power the laptop unlike a true dock. So when you bring the laptop to work I would suggest having a USB 3.0 dock to which you can have mouse, keyboard, monitor(s) and speakers connected and also an extra AC adapter so you plug in 2 things to make the laptop into a fixed workstation.
Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the answer you needed.
