Review on πŸš€ Enhance Your Productivity with the VisionTek VT4900 KVM USB-C Docking Station - Dual Host 100W Charging, Triple 4K Display, USB-C, USB, Ethernet, and Audio Support for Windows, Mac, and Chrome OS (901406) by Craig Edwards

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It seems that it would be ideal, but.

This is not just a KVM switch. It takes over the network connection and only allows one of the connected computers to connect at a time. It would be better to just put each connected computer on a separate ethernet port. The need to install software is also problematic when you're trying to use it in a work-from-home scenario, and the company you work for restricts the installation of software that isn't in the company's catalogue is. It doesn't look like the features are really thought through.

Pros
  • When connecting an HDMI display to the VT4900 KVM Dock, this output is only shown if the connected laptop has a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alternate Mode. MacBook may require separate power supply to work in clamshell mode.
Cons
  • Some issues
