3. Optional Accessories
3.1 Displays
There are many options for Dell monitors, however, these are the most popular and offer the most features and best displays available. HUB monitors will allow for a single USB-C cable connection (between laptop and monitor) to provide power to a laptop and audio/video. For most faculty/staff, there will be no need for a docking station with the purchase of a HUB monitor. check ship times before ordering

Note about dual displays with the Belkin Thunderbolt 2 Dock: At least one display has to be Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 technology-ready. For displays that are not Thunderbolt technology-ready, the Thunderbolt port is backwards compatible with Mini DisplayPort. The dock supports either HDMI or Mini DisplayPort, but not both. We are working on another recommendation.
Note: Some of the following computers require modifications to the specs. Prices are subject to change but modified specs will remain constant. Please note any necessary changes below the model; If no changes are found, then add to your cart as-is.
