Works well. A few minor complaints.

Works well but I have a few minor complaints. As previously mentioned, the USB-C cable that plugs into your laptop is hardwired to the device. So if that cable ever fails, the device becomes unusable. As others have pointed out, the hard wire is also fairly short. It would be better if the cable wasn't hardwired directly to the device, but could plug and unplug and be longer. But my biggest disappointment comes with the two video outputs (ie 1 HDMI and 1 VGA). I have 2 dual monitors setup and would like to be able to extend my desktop between the 2 with only 2 monitors and usually not even the laptop screen. It turns out that you can only extend the desktop over the laptop screen. In other words, HDMI and VGA just always mirror each other. No matter you make them screen 1 or screen 2, they are BOTH screen 1 or screen 2 and your laptop screen is always different. In fairness, this isn't too surprising given the low price of this device. Docks that do what I mention (2 separate outputs) tend to be a lot more expensive. If the lack of this particular feature isn't a deal breaker for you, then you really can't go wrong with this device at this price point.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
