I have a Lenovo Ideapad 3 Gaming (15ACH6 should be the specific one). Just that normal one you see all around.

I’m trying to have a desk for work, with lots of USB devices. So I wanted to grab a little 30-40 dollar dock that plugs into my USB-C port. I move around through the day, but my desk has a good amount of necessary devices. All USB.

One snag. According to this Lenovo thread, apparently my laptop doesn’t support any additional monitors with USB-C, but it does with the normal USB A slot? That sound normal?

So now I’m trying to find any affordable solution that will let me plug everything up via USB-A if that’s what I need.

Basically:

My devices and my monitor — > dock I haven’t found ----> laptop.

Any clues if it’s true about the USB-C port not supporting monitors? And if that’s the case, is there anything I can buy under 80 dollars that’ll let me use an external monitor through the dock?

If anyone has any experience with this kind of stuff, I’d appreciate it!
