With Black Friday slicing laptop prices left, right and center, it's easy to miss another crucial part of a notebook: ports. There can never be enough of them — unless you grab a docking station. Now, they're getting the Black Friday discount treatment.

There are dock deals aplenty, with this Ugreen Steam Deck Dock down to just $39, this unique Anker 675 Docking Station and Monitor Stand that's 32% off and more.

Whether you need to expand your desk setup with multiple monitors, need a Thunderbolt 4 dock to charge all your devices simultaneously post-haste, or are just after an extra USB port for your mouse, a docking station will provide. There are even docks made for Steam Deck.

As a dock expert, there are deals here you'll want to snap up. While every setup is different, as certain PCs may require different ports, many of these docking stations do their best to accommodate them all. I'll be watching for even more deals, but in the meantime, scroll on through to get saving.
