Good morning, afternoon, evening.
I currently am trying to clear desk space in my room so I am looking to get a docking station. There is a specific configuration I would like and I have a question over my current laptop as well, as I couldn't find any information on the Asus website or other places that answered my specific question.
The docking station I would like to purchase would be able to support 3 monitors (preferably) Unfortunately docking stations like that only use a newer version of usb type c or thunderbolt 3 which my laptop does not have. so I would like to know if I purchase a docking station that supports 2 monitors and use one of the video outputs from the laptop if I could achieve what I'm looking for. I'm not looking for gaming performance or anything of the sort, I don't mind gaming on my laptop and switching it up I just want to clear space and get decent performance where I can seamlessly get home connect to the dock and get 3 monitors set up. I mainly use this computer for game development and 3d model editing and school work. Below are the current specs of the machine and the exact model number I got from the back of the machine.
Asus ROG GL551JW-WH71
Core i7 4720HQ
12GB of RAM
1TB hard drive
Windows 10 Home
Ports:
3 USB 3.0
Mini display port
hdmi
gigabit ethernet
Any help would be appreciated.
