    If yoi are looking for something good, Microsoft Surface Docks tends to be a solid yet underrated option that I rarely see people talk about, as their hardware design is usually exceptionally good.

    Otherwise, I’d say Lenovo or Dell’s business lines, because corporate IT had to deploy so many of them that most issues would be ironed out at that point.

      Yeah, but paying $300 for one is crazy for the average home user. If I am spending company dollars, then sure, there is a reason to go for the brand name. But for my home setup I want something between cheap and crazy expensive.

        In your scenario, I would say the best option would be buying used enterprise stuff for your home setup if you want both quality and relatively low price.
