No need to buy a 4K laptop just yet, if you have a 4K monitor

The pricing for 4K monitors have been dropping to the point that Acer’s B2H6HK 28-inch 4K monitor was retailing for $350 last month on Newegg for a short while. It was a good deal for PC users who might have wanted to dip into the 4K pool. But what about laptop owners who don’t want to spend money for a new 4K laptop, but would like to utilize the 4K monitor they already have or want to purchase? Well, there is the 4K Ultra HD Laptop Docking Station from StarTech.com that is now available.
The 4K Laptop Docking Station is geared towards professionals, such a graphic designers and animators, who might be looking to edit 4K content or just take advantage of the more highly detailed content that 4K monitors can provide. To that end, the docking station is able to support resolutions up to 3840x2160p while connected to a single DisplayPort via a single USB 3.0 connection.

StarTech.com’s 4K Docking Station will also allow consumers to turn their laptop into a multi-monitor workspace by letting it connect to a DisplayPort and an HDMI-equipped monitor simultaneously. But that ability will only work for non-4K monitors.

Other features that the device has includes an integrated security lock slot, 3.5mm 4-position headset port, Gigabit Ethernet Rj45 Port with Wake-on-LAN, and includes a 2ft USB 3.0 cable. It also has a USB 3.0 fast-charge and sync port that will let users charge mobile devices without the need to be connected to a laptop.
The 4K Ultra HD Laptop Docking Station is available for the price of $222.99 in the US, $228.99 in Canada, and £192.99 in the UK and can be purchased from online retailers such as Amazon, Newegg, and PC Connection.
