Worked well - Notebook Accessories

As far as I can tell this dock worked well. I didn't check VGA but other ports worked. It doesn't look particularly fancy, but with this type of device I'm mostly interested in whether it works properly, what it does.

Pros
  • Good item
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Very disappointed in Computers & Accessories

It's not clear what's going on but the USB ports are intermittent and the unit gets too hot to work - have tried about 5 times so far and it always shuts down hot to use it. . Must return as we cannot safely use it.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Updates

This is a handy device when you need extra connectivity for

So if you only have a plain USB 3.1/USB C "USB Data Only" port, you will not be able to view video on the output ports of this product. .I didn't like that this important information about usage scenarios/compatibility requirements wasn't listed in the product description at all. I ended up having to…
