What are you using to dock your laptop?
I have tried a Thunderbolt solution, but it only seems to work with one monitor unless I want to spend $$$$ on an Apple unit. USB docks have been unreliable.

I love having this unit, but I need to be able to have a fast way to connect it at work. (YES work. I had a "mobile workstation" that just didn't perform the way the G751 does. Loaded down with all of the junk it still boots in under 10 seconds. the other device took over 3 minutes) Right now on my desk there is not a port that is not in use (except the card reader) its a 5 minute setup and tear down just to get wired for network, dual monitors, and peripherals.

Tell me what you have and how it is working for you.

THANKS!

TechMan2014, I haven't found a working dock solution for Asus ROG laptops, but if you pre-set up the environment and leave the parts set up, it only takes me 30 seconds to go from in the bag to booting up.

I buy a 2nd power adapater, and duplicate the ethernet, hdmi, kensington cable lock, and dedicate a keyboard/mouse set up. I connect up the power, ethernet, hdmi, and single USB from keyboard and I am up and running.

I don't like the wear and tear on the sockets/plugs, but so far I haen't had a single failure in many years of doing this.

The corporate / Dell laptops with dock sit there next to the ROG laptop gathering dust, because the most memory I can get in them is usually 8GB, which isn't enough for the several VM's I typically need to run to match the server(s) configurations I need to support.

The ROG laptop is so much faster and better equiped, quite often others will end up getting their own to bring in to the office 🙂

If you find something that works, please let us know.
