Awesome man thanks! At this point though, I'm wondering if I should just replace the motherboard in the dell? I've seen a few of these USB c reinforcement brackets too, but not a whole lot of info out there. Then that way all I would need is a docking station and I'll never have to really rely on the two laptop ports and adapters and dongles, etc. And they should hypothetically remain safe, but idk. What do you think?
Sounds like a good idea. I own a couple of Dells, but I don't work on them very much (although that may change since my laptop keyboard seems to be dying). Someone around here surely knows about reinforcement brackets and docking ports.
If you're considering docking your laptop anyway, have you thought about getting a desktop case and fan so that you can repurpose your existing motherboard into a tower?
No not at all. See those are the type of things I am unaware of! Thanks for pointing that out. And we may be confusing the sense of docking.... There's those docking stations that you basically set your laptop on top of and it connects somehow that way, allowing the addition of extra ports and maybe charging, that's not the type I'm thinking about. I'm interested in the actual like docking hardware devices. They look like little routers or modems, basically a box that you link to your laptop via USBC and the dock has a whole host of additional ports. I figure if I go that route, I would virtually never have to touch my laptop ports again with all those adapters and such, except just that one link to the dock, which hypothetically would always remain in place. Hope that makes sense lol
