It’s a laptop that can do a lot of things from being a strong gaming computer or an all-around work computer. With a computer like this, you may be interested inoutfitting it with some accessories.

There’s the usual mouse and carrying bag, but you should also look into getting a docking station. These devices can expand your LG Gram 17’s usability and this guide will show you the three best.

What are the best docking stations for the LG Gram 17?

StarTech.com Thunderbolt 3 Dock

Starting off the list is the Thunderbolt 3 Dock from StarTech.com. It has seven ports in total: a Thunderbolt 3, DisplayPort, HDMI, VGA, two USB-A, and a gigabit Ethernet. This device does lack the 3.5mm jack and USB-C ports that other docks have, so that’s disappointing.

That said, it can output up to two 4K displays at 60Hz for stunning quality. And if you have older screens, this station supports old formats like VGA. The Thunderbolt 4 Dock can even charge your LG Gram 17 thanks to its 85W power delivery and charging.

Dell D6000

If you’re looking for a docking station that’s more affordable and more readily available, you should look into the Dell D6000. The device is great for traveling as it can charge the Gram 17 with 65W of power.

Still powerful, the D6000 comes with 10 connectivity ports: four USB-A 3.0, two DisplayPort, one USB-C, one HDMI, RJ45 Ethernet, and a 3.5 mm audio jack.

What makes it better than the TS3 is that you’re more likely to find one on Amazon and can output up to three different 4K screens, although the third one will only display at 30Hz.

Corsair TBT100 Thunderbolt 3 Dock

The final entry on this list is the Corsair TBT100 Thunderbolt 3 docking station. The TBT100 connects to the Gram 17 through a single Thunderbolt 3 port and has two USB-A, two USB-C, two HDMI, Ethernet, an SD card reader, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Those USB ports come with SuperSpeed capability and can charge your LG laptop since it can deliver up to 85W of power via Smart Charging. Its Gigabit Ethernet port allows for lightning-fast connection speeds.

It can even work with Mac OS if you ever need to switch to a Macbook from your Gram 17.

Is there anything else I should know about laptop accesorries?

There are many different ways you can customize your laptop to suit your needs, like acomputer mouse. If you’re a big gamer, you should look into getting a specialized gaming mouse from Corsair or Razer.

If you’re interested in something software-related, you shoulddownload and install a Rainmeter skinon your laptop to change the look of the screen. You can even add new features that way.
