Setting up docking station for MacBook Air 2017

Hi everyone!

Can someone tell me exactly ALL of the products I need to buy to set up a docking station for my MacBookAir 2017? I already have a monitor, I just need to connect it to the laptop and I don't want my desk to look too "busy".

Thanks in advance!

"Thank you! I Just want to make sure you have a MacBook Air from 2017 - apparently the ones from 2018 and newer have a different set up, and I have seen a lot of docking stations on Amazon that are for 2018 and up."

You are welcome.


I had a 2017 MBP - and when I did, it worked just fine. My 2018 MBP has one, and it is working fine too.
