1. An information handling system docking station comprising:
a housing;
a circuit board disposed in the housing;
one or more processing components coupled to the circuit board and operable to process information;
plural ports coupled to the circuit board and interfaced with the one or more processing components, each port of the plural ports operable to couple with a cable to interface with an external device;
plural heat sinks, each heat sink of the plural heat sinks having a piece of glass material coated with graphene and interfaced with the one or more processing components to dissipate thermal energy from the one or more processing components, a first heat sink of the plural heat sinks and a second heat sink of the plural heat sinks vertically stacked and separated by a gap of air; and
a thermal elastomer directly interfacing the first heat sink, the second heat sink, and the one or more processing components, the thermal elastomer having an embedded elastic graphene wavy channel.
