Question

A friend was just promoted to a new job that requires part-time travel, and he has also been promised a new laptop after his first month with the company. He needs an easy way to disconnect and reconnect all his peripheral devices to his old laptop. Devices include two external monitors (one HDMI, one DVI), a USB wireless mouse, USB wireless keyboard, Ethernet network, USB printer, headphones, and microphone. He has a budget of $100. What kind of device would best suit his needs

Answer 1

usb-c hub

Step-by-step explanation:

In this specific scenario, his best option would be a usb-c hub. This is a fairly cheap device which he can get one of many variations for less than $100. This device connects through a single USB-C port on the computer and has multiple USB ports on the hub. This allows you to connect all of your devices to the hub and connect/disconnect all of them instantly from the single USB-C cable connected to the laptop. Thanks to the new USB-C technology these hubs now usually include both HDMI and DVI inputs.
