Acer “Works With Chromebook”: massima utilità
Laptop PCs are comfortable and portable, but some tasks require large displays. It is also sometimes more convenient to use a mouse instead of a trackpad. Peripherals offer professional users the flexibility to set up the workstation that best suits their needs, and many configure it with one or two external monitors, a keyboard, a mouse and maybe a USB stick or an external disk for data backup. A docking station allows you to use all these accessories simply by plugging in a single USB Type-C connector, keeping your desk tidy and reducing the number of steps required to get the station up and running when starting a work week.
