Great USB-C dock for the money

This is a great USB-C dock for the money. Even adding a $50 100W USB-C charger is cheaper than other less popular docks. Bought a second one as a spare.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Doubtful

Don't buy this. Suitable for computers and accessories

Some connectors only work if you use a separate 20V power supply. A separate power supply is NOT included with the device. Revain does NOT have a power supply for this. It's just stupid.

Pros
  • Good item
Cons
  • Contact seller

Power supply not included!

Are you kidding me? I have power supplies from 4 different computers and none fit. Can I believe I spent so much on this product and it doesn't come with an AC adapter? This is the third USB dock I have had to return to Revain. I give up - it's time to go to Best Buy!

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • I don't like it, everything is fine

Lots of useful features, USB PD passthrough support

This USB-C docking station can be powered from the USB-C wall outlet that came with your laptop. No additional power supply required. Plug the USB-C power adapter into the rear USB-C port next to the 20V bullet connector. All ports are fully functional and it also charges a laptop connected to the front USB-C port. The connections all work perfectly: USB-A, Ethernet, audio, video. It loses triggering as the max DP output is 4k 30Hz not 4k 60Hz. I tested the DisplayPort and HDMI outputs and the…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Some bugs

A very good set of old and new I/Os, 4 full size USB 3.0, a nice one and even a VGA port.

It's hard to find a device with a VGA connection, but some monitors, TVs, etc. require this or a special adapter. Also has HDMI and DisplayPort for more modern monitors or TVs. The high-speed video can stream 4K to another device and even has Ethernet and Type slots. I had to dig up an old laptop to use VGA to transmit to one of my old flat screens. It has the connector itself so I can use it as a monitor if needed. I use USB for storage, communications, wired mice, and streaming devices. 3.0…

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

This is a good dock

The first thing that struck me about this dock is its weight. It has a good weight which combined with the rubber feet keeps it perfectly on the desk. They've done a great job of centering all ports on the back of the dock, except for two USB-A ports, an audio jack (for headphones), and a USB-C port for connecting to a computer, which pertains to are the front. It plugged and play into my Dell Latitude 7400 and was able to power my computer with an 87W USB-C power adapter. I love that it has a…
