I know it was cheaper but it was worth it

I have two Acer monitors. So I thought why not? And I was right. Smooth setting. I can take my laptop with me without turning everything off. Light!

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Appearance

Serviceable, well-made dock for people with basic needs.

Compatibility: I have used this dock with 3 devices listed as compatible with no issues. So check the compatibility and if your device is listed you should be fine. Operating Temperature: This docking station operates moderately warm, but not hot. Fully geared towards users with basic docking needs and using mid-range devices. If you have a mid-range machine and peripherals AND you're primarily interested in solid functionality, this is a good docking station. Overall: Overall, this is a basicโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sequins
Cons
  • No color required

Universal and excellent for Acer laptops except 3.5 Aux

This is a standard docking station with USB 3.0 or USB-C ports that has two 2k HDMI ports, 4 2.0 ports and 2 USB-A 3.0 ports and 3.5 Add features . When connecting a USB-C or A host, the scanner/printer port B is used to connect to the docking station. The HDMI ports can each operate at 2k resolution, and even 2.0 ports ensure virtually lag-free data transfer to the host device. The driver is actually DisplayLink and really enhances the internal firmware. Unfortunately, the docking station that

Acer High Quality USB 3.0 Docking Station

This Acer USB 3.0 Fixed Docking Station includes USB AB and USB AC ports for the host controller (laptop input to the docking station) and a 12V PS -Adapter. can be plugged into the wall to power the unit, although this is not mentioned in the pictures or description. The quality is slightly better than, say, a Wavlink device and about the same as a Belkin Universal Dock. Surprisingly, it's made in Thailand (I prefer it to other more common electronics manufacturing regions). Supports dual HDMI

Pros
  • Excellent Design
Cons
  • Volume

Makes you dream of another Acer docking station

This product is at least stylistically designed to work with Acer laptops, although it can be used elsewhere if you know the host Port you need to select from your PC. Acer mentions which of its PCs the 'docking station' is compatible with, which is a plus if you're an Acer customer and not sure which host ports are compatible. The prices are high. Oddly, manufacturers seem to be removing ports from laptops and putting them on hubs - with less convenience (due to more things to carry around)โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • New competitors are here

Great but the price is high

I don't know dude. I'm a big Acer fan. I've never been up to speed on their laptops, but their desktops are great and I trust their peripherals. I'm not sure about this dock though. Don't get me wrong, this is a really great docking station. I've tested docks from Wavlink, Plugable, StarTech, and Corsair, and while Corsair was the best of them all, the Acer Dock III comes very close in terms of desirability and ability to cram a lot of tech into a small box. I hate bulky docks, but this one isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Gets angry
