A:Answer Most any docking station that has the HDMI port will work for connecting an external monitor. Docking stations now a days are small, slim and have several different types of ports you may need. For this laptop, you can purchase a docking station that can be plugged into the type C port on the laptop or.. if you don't want to do that, you can purchase one that connects to your laptop via usb but this laptop only has 2 usb ports and you may need those for other equipment that you do not want to use the docking station for.
