A new docking station promises support for up to three 4K displays and comes with numerous additional ports. It also supports fast charging for smartphones, allowing them to be charged right on your desk without the need for an additional power adapter.
On Kickstarter, Egiozr is funding a new docking solution, the EZGen2 (Egiozr Pro), which features numerous ports and supports use with multiple monitors. Specifically, compatible Windows and macOS devices can operate up to three 4K displays at 60 Hz – although this feature is not necessarily supported by all devices. A total of three HDMI 2.0 ports and two DisplayPort 1.2 ports are available. Connection to a PC or laptop is via USB-C.
The docking solution itself is powered by a 150-watt round plug. A total of four USB-C ports are available on the front. Two of the ports support charging with a maximum of 45 watts; if both ports are used for charging, then this becomes 22 watts for each. The remaining ports support the USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard with a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s each.
On the back, the 9 x 9 cm and 17 cm high system features five video outputs and a host port, as well as two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A ports, two USB 2.0 ports and an Ethernet port. Above the ports are the memory card slots, supporting microSD and SD memory cards. Lastly, a 3.5mm audio port is also on board.
Supporters who contribute $279 or more are promised a unit in September. The usual risks associated with crowdfunding campaigns apply. Import duties and shipping costs may also increase the final price.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
