Hey All, recently I was forced to switch from a desktop for work to a laptop and I’m trying to understand how to keep my current set up with minimal cord unplugging and plugging back in. My current set up is a desktop with 4 monitors, microphone, and a headset, which I use for gaming. Typically I remote in on one screen, and use teams on a side screen. With the laptop I will not be able to remote in.
Looking online it sounds like a KVM would be able solve a lot of the problems, but the main issue is 1. The refresh rate being 60hz with a handful to 144hz. 2. The amount monitor slots to plug into a KVM switch. 3. The price for something to make it all work.
Looking into the USB/HDMI switch, the audio/mic seems to be hard to configure which only being able to use it from my desktop.
Additionally a coworker mentioned that a docking station for the laptop wasn’t an option and that the monitor was actually needed to do that. This option I haven’t researched into.
Any help would be appreciated as I’m needing to turn in my work desktop in this week.
