Hello all

Would like some help on docking station..
Current Laptop: MSI Modern 14 B11MO
Docking Station: Toshiba Thunderbolt 3 - pa5281le-2prp

Unfortunately the docking station is not compatible with my current laptop.
I checked with MSI helpdesk and they confirmed that my laptop USB C is able to perform both Audio and Video output function.
So it is more of a compatibility issue.

Is there any other docking station which I can purchase and use it with my laptop?

Thunderbolt and USB c not the exact same thing. You can use the docking station, the laptop USB ports might not have the bandwidth to use all features simultaneously.

Hello, check the laptop specs: https://www.msi.com/Business-Productivity/Modern-14-B11X/Specification

B11MO
I/O PORTS:
1x Type-C (USB3.2 Gen2 / DP)
2x Type-A USB3.2 Gen1
1x Micro SD Card Reader
1x HDMI™ 2.1 (4K @ 60Hz)

Go buy the USB3.2 Gen2 type-C hubs (10 Gbps) with HDMI or Displayport output. For example UGREEN on Lazada have many models available. I'm using a UGREEN 13-in-1 for myself.
