Near-field powered monitors, compact USB and Bluetooth pairs, and under-monitor soundbars that beat laptop speakers for calls, music, and YouTube without filling the next room.
UHS-II USB-C readers, dual-slot SD/microSD modules, and CFexpress Type B docks that keep up with 4K/6K/8K offloads without a Thunderbolt tax.
Rank the upgrades that stretch an aging laptop: NVMe storage, SODIMM RAM when the chassis opens, an honest GaN charger, a cooling stand, then an external display.
Desk and shared GaN bricks with honest dual-laptop USB-PD budgets (65W+65W to 140W+100W), not single travel chargers.
VESA laptop trays and clamp arms that park a closed-lid notebook under or beside dual monitors without eating the desk.
DP 1.4 and DP 2.1 cable picks that hold high refresh on 3440x1440 and 5120x1440 ultrawides without handshake drama, plus length and DSC guidance.
120W GaNPrime three-port brick versus 140W PD 3.1 Nexode: single-port ceiling, shared pool, included cable, size, and when 140W matters.
USB-C to HDMI cables and adapters that actually claim 4K60, plus one DisplayLink dual-HDMI option when Alt Mode is not enough.
Single-port 802.3af/at/bt injectors when a full PoE switch is overkill: TP-Link POE160S and POE150S, TRENDnet TPE-115GI, Omada POE170S, and a 90W PoE++ option.
