Buyer rule
Start with the host and desk constraints
Start with the host port, charging needs, monitor count, display mode, USB device load, Ethernet path, card readers, and whether the dock stays on the desk.

Risk
Avoid the dock mismatch
The common mistake is buying by port count only while ignoring host compatibility, cable rating, charging behavior, monitor limits, and heat.

- Match the dock cable and charger to the host device, not only the dock label.
