Review on WAVLINK USB 3.0 Universal Laptop Docking Station: Dual Monitor Display, Gigabit Ethernet, and Multiple USB Ports for PC, Tablets, Android Phones (HDMI, DVI & VGA; 2 Red Charging Ports, Audio) by Charles Russell

For USB 3.0 it's GOOD

I bought this to add some ports to an old laptop with limited USB3 ports and to get two more screens. This is where this document excels. I was able to connect external hard drives, 2 monitors, a webcam and even regular USB drives for my 3D printer. What's not a problem, but I don't like it that much, is that the video outputs aren't both HDMI. One is DVI with HDMI pins. This is not a problem if you are using a monitor that requires DVI. I am outputting to 3 TVs via HDMI. Since it's USB3, I don't notice any video or network speed degradation when transferring files to/from external drives. There is a capacity that meets the needs of an old laptop. I like the number of USB slots. I will be buying a newer laptop version of this USB-C docking station soon and it doesn't have as many USB ports. Although I would like more, I will be satisfied with this docking station. One thing I would suggest if the manufacturer ever reads this is that they place the speaker where the gray bar is currently in the top front right corner. It does everything else, why not add the final bell/whistle? I LOVE this dock though and think it's worth what little I paid for it compared to all the other less powerful and more expensive docks.

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • Mostly ok but...
