[SOLVED] Can docking stations harm laptops?

[dolokhov]

My old desktop used to skip when I used a docking station, and I always worried it was messing with the video card.

Can docking stations harm your PC/laptop? I have a new Zenbook 14 and I am concerned about using a docking station but it doesn't have enough ports for the USB peripherals.

Its totally fine, docking stations hurting laptops is an old myth from the 2008-2009 era.
What docking station are you gonna get?
