Why should you use a docking station?
A docking station is a device that allows you to connect your laptop to multiple peripherals such as a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and other devices with just one cable. It can help you declutter your workspace by reducing the number of cables you need to connect to your GPD WIN 4. It can also help you increase your productivity by allowing you to use two displays at once, which can help you multitask more efficiently.
