Inspiron 15 3520, docking station?

If your system has a USB-C port, it should be able to handle external monitors.  Not all of this system model's units do.

If there's no USB C port, you'll need to connect one monitor to the HDMI port and use a USB Displaylink adapter for the other monitor.

@ejn63​ This model has a USB-C port, I think it should be able to handle it, but which docking station should I choose?

I have an Inspirion 15 3520 laptop. It doesnt have a c port. I have a dell docking station and tried getting a usbc converter however the laptop doesnt see the other monitors. The mouse and keyboard plugged into the docking station works but not the monitors. How do I get the docking station to work with this computer?

It won't -- the system does not support video out over USB.

@ejn63​ What if I used an HDMI splitter or would that automaically duplicate both displays?

I just bought the Inspirion 15 3520 laptop.  There has to be a work around, right? 

If your goal is dual monitor support and you have the version of this system without USB-C, beyond the possible, you're likely to be unhappy with the performance of it in this role.  If you have return privileges, you'd be better off with a next-level system that has a bit more robust specification set.

@ejn63​ No offense, but It's quite disappointing that a laptop in 2024 doesn't have a USB-C port. Is there really no way to connect two monitors or a docking station to this device? I paid nearly €800 for this device and can't connect two monitors. This makes me consider switching to another brand.

If you're referring to the entry level Inspiron 3xxx series, some do have optional USB-C ports (usually with i7 CPUs or a discrete video chip option).  The base models do not.

You won't find the situation any different with another brand of notebook -- entry level models are designed to be as cheap to manufacture as possible so they can sell at as low a price as possible.  The feature set follows the price.

I just bought ABLEWE USB to HDMI Adapter, Upgraded Aluminum HDMI to USB 3.0 & 2.0 Audio Video Graphics Converter Cable for PC Laptop Monitor Projector Desktop TV,Support Mac OS,Windows 10/8.1/8/7 : Amazon.ca: Electronics and tried it and it works great with my 3xxx inspiron 15" core i5 with 8GB RAM and no USB-C.

@Mikksen​ You can connect one monitor through the HDMI port and use a USB to HDMI adapter to connect the second monitor..  

It works for me .. but yes .. it's quite disappointing and limited.

here is the link for the adapter: StarTech.com USB 3.0 to HDMI Adapter

@ejn63​ My work docking station connects to my 3520. I use two monitors, keyboard, mouse etc

It is a D6000
