Review on πŸ–₯️ Dell D3100 Ultra HD/4K Triple Display Docking Station - Enjoy Seamless Connectivity and Stunning Visuals! by Wiktor Niemiec ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The product is usable, I expected a bit more.

Yes, the description of the station is incorrect here, which can lead to significant disappointment from the purchase. USB type - C is not in it. The laptop can't charge. DELL - minus your karma, there was a review / question with a request to correct the description. For me, not a drawback, because it fully corresponds to the declared characteristics. My ports fell off somewhere 2 times a month at two different stations. To be treated by restarting the station. However, it cost me half a day when I tried to find out why the microphone did not work through the station, although everything worked separately, incl. station with other microphone and headphones. The second time USB fell off, but I already knew about it, so it was "repaired" quickly.

Pros
  • The station is on fire! Easily connects three FHD monitors + laptop screen itself + 1Gbit network + microphone + headphones + whistle from USB mouse + WEB-camera Everything works through a USB 3.0 port, which is cool - a relatively old laptop (3 years old) started up without problems, picked up everything.
Cons
  • Yes, the description of the station is incorrect here. Insignificant, but the disadvantage is that different ports can periodically fall off. From time to time it can be disconnected for one or two minutes, given that at this moment there may be a call with colleagues / customers - this can be just awful. Turned off daily. I'm taking off a star for this. a critical moment came when the station began to turn off 5 times a day. My working day is quite long (12 hours minimum). I don't unplug it at all. I tried to turn it off, it seems to be somehow less likely to turn off. For me, such frequent shutdowns are unacceptable. Maybe it's the OS, but recently I took a more expensive station (at the time of writing this one costs about 12k, I took it for 18) with the same connectors, only usb type-c is connected to the laptop, the problem is gone completely. I tend to think that the problem is in the docking station, but I have not decided what and whether it makes sense to take it in for repair. I'm taking off another star for too frequent shutdowns (sometimes several times in a row).
