If you have been working with computers for a long time you have probably have come across the name StarTech, a Canadian company founded in 1985 that has been a source of hard to find computer parts online for many years. And though the days of finding a replacement internal PC speaker may have come to an end (though you can still find parts like a new Socket A CPU heatsink/fan), StarTech now offers a mix of modern and legacy parts and accessories.

Of these modern offerings from StarTech a number represent an emerging category: docking stations. As the reader is likely painfully aware, many laptops have become thinner at the expense of upgradability, and their frequent corresponding lack of practical I/O has driven the need for additional (sometimes even basic) connectivity. We will take a look at a high-end solution from StarTech in this category today, offering dual 4K60 display support and both Thunderbolt and USB-C compatibility.
