# DockLynx

> Verified docking choices with clear setup guides and tested pairings across devices.

DockLynx helps hybrid workers, creators, gamers, students, and IT teams pick docking gear that actually works. We map ports, power, and display limits across laptops, OSs, and monitors, then show workable paths for dual 4K, triple displays, and reliable charging. Buyers get plain-language matrices, Port Map diagrams, and step-by-step setup flows that remove guesswork.

Our Docking Compatibility Lab verifies ports, power, and pixels under load using real notebooks and monitors. We stress-test display bandwidth, power delivery, Ethernet, USB, sleep/wake, and firmware, then translate spec sheets into tested, brand-agnostic 'known-good' pairings. Scenario-first guides (M-series dual displays, triple-monitor Windows, hot-desking) guarantee deployable configurations.

We also test adjacent gear (hubs, cables, chargers, KVMs, monitors) to ensure end-to-end compatibility.
