NexDock has officially announced that its 6th-generation NexDock laptop dock, also known as a lap dock, is now available. This release comes more than two and a half years after the NexDock XL, but the new dock has ditched the XL’s convertible design and the wireless features. However, the NexDock 6 aims to exceed the capabilities of its earlier models in multiple ways.
Improved Trackpad Features
One of the most significant upgrades is the enhanced trackpad. Previously, trackpads on laptop docks, with the exception of the HP Elite X3 Lap Dock, were known for their poor palm rejection and unsatisfactory mechanical clicks. The NexDock reportedly addresses these issues while also allowing for two- and three-finger gestures on various operating systems like SteamOS, Linux, Windows, and Android desktop modes on devices such as the Galaxy S25 Ultra (currently priced at $1,099 on Amazon).
Display and Performance
Initial reviews suggest that the new trackpad is performing well, in addition to the upgraded 14-inch touchscreen display. This display has a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels and features a 16:10 aspect ratio, delivering a peak brightness of 400 nits and covering 100% of the sRGB color space. Unfortunately, the refresh rate is still fixed at 60 Hz, which may disappoint some users.
The NexDock 6 also boasts better 2 W speakers and a 38 Wh battery that can last approximately 6 to 7 hours. Furthermore, it has the capability to recharge connected devices at 5 V/2 A. Notably, this new dock can supply power to a connected device even when it is turned off, but only if it is plugged into an outlet. The retail price for the NexDock 6 is set at $229, plus shipping, available to more than 30 countries. For further information, visit NexDock’s official website.
