Type-A Docking Station for Dell G3 with two monitors
I have a Dell G3 that doesn’t have type-c and only one HDMI. I don’t know the exact model but it comes with a 8th gen Intel.
I’m looking to set up monitor outputs to have two 1080p monitors on extending mode. Everything on Dell website seems to be type-c. This is just office work so not need to be anything high refresh just reliable enough to do work. And maybe connect a few usb stuffs.

@Tuyf The Dell D6000 works with both USB-C and USB-A via an included adapter. But if your displays are only 1080p, then even the older D3100 would work, assuming it has the right outputs for the inputs on your displays. It's a good thing you said you're only doing office work, since both of those dock options use "indirect display" technology called DisplayLink -- not to be configured with DisplayPort. That's your only option if you want to run displays from a USB-A port, which has no support for carrying video natively, but DisplayLink's technology comes with some drawbacks that can be significant in use cases beyond office work. I wrote about them in the post marked as the solution here if you're curious. There are also a variety of third-party DisplayLink-based docks on the market too, fyi.
@Tuyf That’s the D6000. Correct on DisplayLink compatibility. All you need is the DisplayLink software, which I’d recommend getting directly from DisplayLink.com rather than Dell just to make sure you have the latest version. (Although dock firmware would need to be obtained from Dell.)
