Anker releasing new 14-in-1 Desktop Docking Station 

The Anker Desktop Docking Station (14-in-1, Quad-Display, DisplayLink) has been launched in China. Rumors about this charging device started in June, when various details and images were leaked.

Now, a special edition version of the Desktop Docking Station, designed as part of a collaboration with Black Myth Wukong, has appeared. It has a black and gold design inspired by the RPG. Also known as model A83B3, it connects to the host via a 140W USB-C port with 10 Gbps bandwidth. There are three further USB-C ports, two with a 100W output and 10 Gbps bandwidth, and another 100W output with 5 Gbps. The maximum combined power output is 160W, and charging information can be viewed on the integrated display. A dial on one side appears to allow users to cycle through various screens.

Other file transfer options on the new Anker Desktop Docking Station include two USB-A (5 Gbps) and one USB-A (480 Mbps), and there are also SD 3.0 and TF 3.0 card readers. Billed as a quad-display accessory, you can connect up to three monitors via two HDMI 2.1 ports (up to 8K@30Hz resolution) and DisplayPort 1.4 (up to 8K@60Hz resolution). When three displays are connected simultaneously, the maximum resolution over HDMI is 4K@60Hz, with the DP resolution staying at 8K@60Hz. Plus, there is support for the Anker Dock Manager app and DisplayLink software.

The new Anker docking station’s remaining ports are 2.5 Gbps Ethernet, an audio jack, and an input for the 180W power supply. It is said to be compatible with various Windows and macOS (M1/M2/M3/M4 chip) devices, and it measures 195 x 92 x 47 mm (~inches). In China, the Anker x Black Myth Wukong Desktop Docking Station (14-in-1, Quad-Display, DisplayLink) is priced at CNY 1,699 (~$237). Given that Black Myth Wukong special edition products are slightly more expensive than the original versions, the RRP of the standard Desktop Docking Station is expected to be lower than this. 

It is unclear when the Anker Desktop Docking Station (14-in-1, Quad-Display, DisplayLink) will be released in other markets like the US, where the older Anker Prime Charger (250W, 6 Ports, GaNPrime) is currently selling for $169.99 at Amazon.
