I'm trying to figure out the ideal dock configuration for my setup, which includes a Lenovo Legion Slim 5 laptop, a MacBook Pro from 2023/2024, and a desktop PC with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 3080 TI. I also have two Gigabyte M28U monitors. My goal is to find a dock that allows me to easily switch between my desktop and laptop without having to plug and unplug cables constantly. I want to maintain the highest refresh rates and resolutions on my monitors. I'm currently using a CalDigit TS4 dock, but it's not fully compatible with the Lenovo, meaning I can't get networking and only can use one monitor. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

It sounds like you're looking for a KVM dock, which can be a bit pricey but might be the best solution for you. This type of dock allows you to switch between multiple computers seamlessly while using the same monitors. It’s worth investing in if you want to avoid cable clutter!
Do you have any specific brands or models you're considering? I heard Aten is a good option but haven't owned a KVM switch in a while.
