ORICO 20-in-1 Docking Station Launched with Decent Features and a $130 Price Tag

[GGforever]

Docking stations are particularly useful for folks who own laptops with limited I/O. Having more ports is seldom a bad thing, and ORICO's latest 20-in-1 docking station packs excellent potential in that regard. As the name suggests, the product packs a total of 19 ports, split between its front and rear. The dock, dubbed the ORICO DKA22, is currently available on Amazon, commanding a price tag of $129.99.

At the rear, the dock sports dual USB-A 2.0, dual DisplayPort, HDMI, good old VGA, 1G Ethernet, and a USB-C port with 60 watts of power delivery. On the front, triple USB-A 3.0, dual USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, SD/TF, USB-A 2.0, and audio input, output, as well as combo jacks. A volume control knob is also present on the front, which is quite a neat addition. In terms of video output, the dock is capable of running dual four displays simultaneously, although only with the HDMI, VGA, and DP ports limited to 1080p60, while the remaining DP limited to 1080p30. For a detailed understanding of the supported video output configurations, please refer to the third embedded image.

NO, just no....

to the 1G ethernet....

to the 60Hz limited outputs...

Finally, to the to the barrel jack and VGA port....Hello Orico, this is 1997 calling, and we want all our antique ports back, like 5 years ago

And before the bashing starts, YES, I realize that VGA is still used for some commercial applications, and the barrel jack is still common nowadays, but with the advent of high-power USB-C, why choose those dinosaurs over more modern parts...

well, I know why....to save a few pennies off the BOM, that's why

But it's aesthetically pleasing, so I'll give 'em credit for that !

And let's not forget that 480Mbps/USB 2.0 SD/microSD slot ....that's a crime against humanity, feel bad for the person that discovers that for the first time trying to dump a 512GB card...the low power delivery on the type C port is weak as well.

For that price I would expect Fantastic features, NOT Decent.
