I'm the Regional Engineering Manager for almost 50 radio stations in the Midwest. With the Covid-19 virus on the loose we needed to have our DJs work from home but sound live and local.
These Samson Meteor USB mics were PERFECT! They sound like our $350 mics in the studios, and it's what we bought everyone to use. Problem solved.

So after a few years of use from my APC UPS the battery failed. It was a struggle getting the old battery out but simple to order this APC replacement battery and slide it right into the UPS.
Finding your replacement battery cartridge number is as easy as going to the APC website and searching for your model number of UPS.
Then come back to Bestbuy and search for the battery cartridge number....#123 in this case.

This triple display docking station turns your Mac or Windows laptop into a full workstation with a DisplayPort output, two HDMI outputs, and a VGA output, with resolution support up to 4K (3840 x 2160) on two displays and 1080p on the other one. You can also use your laptop screen for four displays in total, making it easy to access multiple applications at once. With 100W Power Delivery, three USB 3.0 ports, and a USB-C port, this docking station is perfect for your MacBook, Dell XPS, or other USB-C laptop requiring additional ports. This USB 3.0 docking station is also equipped with a RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port, memory card reader/writer, and combo audio jack for maximum productivity. The elevated design assists with heat dissipation and, with its double-sided cable storage compartment, ensures an easy connection regardless of your USB-C port’s location. All 13 ports are combined into one slim docking station, so you’ll have all the connections you need to stay productive!
 

What do you need for this docking station to charge the Microsoft Surface Pro 7+ ?

In order to charge any device connected you will need a power supply and cord to go from the power supply with a USB C on it to connect to the docking station.

I usually buy a 65w power supply (wall wart) as that is enough power to charge most laptops.
