Review on TOTU Upgraded Universal Charging Extended by Reza Shoecraft

I bought this dock to use with a MacBook I got for work. It works most of the time, but I'm not very happy with it. Let's start with the positive things. It gives my monitors good quality (they're only 1080p so I can't speak to 4k skills) and allows me to use 3 at a time as well as my laptop's screen; 4 total. For me, that was the main argument for the sale and the only reason why I accepted it. There are many other disadvantages to this. The first problem is that it powers my MacBook, but not enough. My laptop will die while plugged in so I still have to use an OEM charger in conjunction with it. Secondly, this device heats up unreasonably. I'm afraid of leaving it on 24/7, so I turn it off when I'm not using it. That really worries me. The third problem is that monitor connections are not always supported. Often my screen goes black and I have to turn it off and on again to get it back. I tried a new cable and a new monitor. The problem is in the dock. The last issue I'll mention here is that the USB ports on the back of this dock don't seem to work too well. My USB mouse and keyboard are, as always, leggy when using these connectors. But the front works fine. I do not know why. Overall I'm disappointed with this docking station given the price.
