Review on πŸ”Œ Toshiba Dynadock PA3541U-2PRP USB Docking Station with VGA Port by Matthew Guiney

Revainrating 2 out of 5

OK Overall with some issues

Received DynaDock (DVI version) about a month ago. I use it with two fairly new (10 month old and 5 month old) Toshiba laptops. I followed the installation procedures and the dock "worked" with both PCs. Note the following: 1. When using a 22 inch monitor (1600x1050 resolution) and setting the video color to 32 bit, windows open and close very slowly and jerkily (setting to 16 bit fixed this problem). 2. Once you've installed the dynadock software on a laptop - every time you start that laptop (including waking it from sleep) the screen blinks for about 5 seconds at boot (annoying) 3. Seems like the process is "Eject Dock" never works 100% /wake is not 100% reliable Overall - the dynamic dock is fine, but it needs a bit more work before it's ready for the average computer user. With the current software/hardware version, it's still too picky.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Security
