Looking to build my first desktop, but I am using the same monitors, keyboard + mouse that I use via docking station for my work laptop.

I want to be able to shut my laptop down, and switch to my new pc build in a very quick/seamless way.

Does anyone have experience with this? Recommendations?

This is probably the best way it seems - super slick https://youtu.be/pwfAAn9e1jE

I watched the video you provided and the potential annoyance I saw was resizing the windows.

I don't think my solution is any better, but my monitors have multiple inputs so I can quickly switch from my work computer to/from my personal computer. All I have to do is tap a button twice and it switches to the other input.

As for my keyboard & mouse, I use Logitech products so that I can use one KVM switch (keyboard and mouse are both on one USB receiver) or fast Bluetooth switch (devices can have up to three different computers memorized, but only one active).
