Not everyone needs a $300 Thunderbolt dock. If you just want to add a monitor, a few USB ports, and Ethernet to your laptop through one cable, a sub-$100 USB-C dock gets the job done. You'll miss out on dual 4K and 40 Gbps bandwidth, but for basic desk setups these are hard to beat on value. Some docks frequently drop below $100 on sale even if MSRP is higher.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can you expect from a docking station under $100?
Under $100, docks are typically compact USB-C hubs with 5-8 ports: a couple of USB-A, HDMI (often single 4K@30Hz or 1080p@60Hz), maybe an SD card reader, and 60-100W passthrough charging. You won't get Thunderbolt, dual 4K displays, or 2.5G Ethernet, but for a basic single-monitor setup, they work well.
Is a cheap docking station worth it?
For single-monitor setups with basic port expansion, absolutely. A $50-80 USB-C dock can add HDMI, USB-A, Ethernet, and power delivery through one cable. The main risk is lower build quality and shorter warranties. Stick to reputable brands like Anker, UGREEN, or Dell for reliability.
What's the difference between a USB-C hub and a docking station?
At this price range, the line blurs. True docking stations typically have a dedicated power supply and sit on your desk permanently. USB-C hubs are bus-powered (no separate power) and more portable. Both connect via a single USB-C cable. Under $100, most options are technically hubs, but they function the same for basic setups.
