This worked best for me at Computers & Accessories

If you have an HP Specter 360x with two USB-C ports on the right side of the laptop (and they have jagged arrows on them), it works. I bought a USB-C power adapter and plugged it into the hub. I then connected the hub to my laptop via USB-C. The laptop is said to use the HP Power Brick, but. It still charged my laptop. I then connected two HDMI 1080p monitors and they both connected straight away. Can't say yet that it will work with dual 4k monitors but hopefully in a few months.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • disappears

Works great to minimize cords to laptop

Due to my son's distance learning we bought him a laptop and hooked up an extra monitor which I had but when he was somewhere other than my 'home office' "Had to be his laptop, turning off the monitor, ethernet, external keyboard, etc was such a pain. This dock fits perfectly and allows him to easily connect the USB-C cable to his laptop to connect all his peripherals. Unfortunately, the laptop's power requirements prevent it from also using a docking station for power, but the transition from…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Some issues

Try something different

The ethernet port sometimes goes down, maybe once a month or more. requires the device to be disconnected and reconnected. If you also have several USB devices connected, these will of course also be deactivated. HMDI caused OS to freeze intermittently - OS freezes for a few seconds and then works for a few seconds IF the HDMI monitor is off. Turn on the monitor, everything is back to normal. enet requires driver installation on 10.12+, overall it doesn't seem to be fully stable when used 24/7.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Exchange availability

Works out of the box, USB2/3 switch also affects Ethernet speed

My experience with startech products has always been good and this device is no exception. It just works, the display signal at 4K @ 60Hz is correct (I had some problems with the 13-in-1 anchor). I tested with MacOS 11.4 and Linux, all ports work out of the box. Power Delivery looks good, my Macbook Pro hasn't complained. The USB2/3 switch is useful, but there's a catch: when set to USB2, the network device connects through a USB2 hub, severely limiting bandwidth. If your setup calls for…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Broken

Small but powerful docking station

The small docking station offers two options. It can either use all four USB-C lanes to provide enough bandwidth to drive a 4k 60Hz monitor with DP1.2, while providing USB and Ethernet connectivity over the remaining USB 2.0 bus becomes. Or it uses only two lanes to connect up to 2 FHD monitors and the other two are used to connect USB 3 and Gigabit Ethernet. For my setup, I use USB 2.0 mode to connect a 4k 60Hz monitor, 1080p webcam, USB speaker, and wired ethernet. All devices get enough…

Pros
  • Durable surface
Cons
  • Functionality
