Review on Kensington USB 3.0 Dual Display Docking Station for Windows, Mac OS, Surface Pro & Surface Laptop - Black (K33972US) by David Alvarado

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Two monitors with my Mac and Windows (Enhanced! No mirror). BRIGHT!

I liked the quality and simplicity of this docking station. I've searched for days and wanted to spend more than 150, but this one does the same thing for less money and is easy to use. I have a Macbook Pro 2018 with 4 TBT ports and my operating system is 10.14. Then I have an HP EliteBook 8470p. The Windows laptop didn't need to install a driver, which was nice. It worked as soon as I inserted the USB connector into my SS USB port. It was easy to install the driver and then adjust the settings in System Preferences. I'm very happy that it's expanding and not just mirroring Mac and Windows displays. I bought an HDMI splitter and it only mirrored my Mac's displays, so having extended displays was a step up. Follow Mac safety guidelines if you want to extend your display. Then go to the display settings for Mac and Windows to align the display windows to get the configuration you want. The only downside is that it doesn't charge my MacBook Pro, but it shouldn't.

Pros
  • absolute legend
Cons
  • boring packaging
