Looking for a docking station

Hello,

I’m new to the Macbook world and need your advice.

I am aware that this question has already been asked several times, and yet my need is not as complex as the other posts. I will not connect 4k monitors or play games either. I have already read quite a few posts and yet they are multiple monitor and computer posts.

I work from home and recently upgraded to a MacBook Pro M4. My current hub/dock station is unstable and not working well with my Mac.

I need to connect an Asus TUF gaming monitor, an iPad Air (for drawings & designing), external drives (I’ve got a Samsung T7 based on the recommendations here) a mouse, a keyboard etc.

Also, with my Asus laptop when I have Zoom meetings, I can work on 2 screens and do different tasks and yet with Mac I could not figure it out. I tried not mirroring thing and it still is the same screens 😒 does anyone know a solution?

Based on what I described, I was recommended here to get a Thunderbolt, what should I get under that doesn’t cost $500?

Thank you in advance. 😊
