Works perfectly! - Docking stations

The MacBook Pro Dock works wonders. I was able to connect multiple peripherals and they all worked at the same time. I was able to connect 2 HDMI monitors with no problem. When I saw that stacking two monitors worked, I decided to go further. While 2 monitors were connected I added a USB keyboard and mouse...worked great as long as the monitors were on. I could not detect any delays in either the mouse or the keyboard. From there I decided to connect an external USB hard drive and was able to access files from the hard drive as well. I decided to see how the docking station would work with all these additional connected items and watch a movie from a flash drive. I plugged in a USB stick and the computer recognized it with no problems. I ran a movie that I saved on a flash drive and it ran fine. One thing I noticed is that the movie was sometimes delayed by a split second for a while, but overall the movie was watchable. Not sure if the latency issue is with the dock or the flash drive as the drive is about 4 years old. I was able to manage all of these connections without plugging the MacBook into a power source; completely on battery. Connected to the mains and everything works. There was still an issue with movies, but I'm not sure if the lag was less [or more] or not. Overall I'm very happy with this dock as it does exactly what it was designed to do which is increase connectivity. I would rate it 5 stars but I was disappointed that I couldn't connect my USB-C monitor to the dock and get my MacBook to recognize the monitor. Looks like the USB-C input is for power delivery. The docking station is small, light and very portable.

Pros
