Question

docking stations

Jul 21, 2018 2:22PM PDT

I have 2 laptops. I have a Toshiba satellite and a dell. Both run Windows 10. The Toshiba has a cracked case and I need to either leave it open or close it and never open it again. Is it possible to get a docking station that I can attach both laptops to, but only use one laptop at a time? Would i still be able to detach the Dell and keep it mobile? I would like to attach dual monitors as well. I appreciate any help!

or port locations so docking stations have to be specific to the model of the laptop just as cases are.
