Absolutely terrible!

This thing didn't work in any port! Won't turn on or connect to a device I've connected. I read that many have this problem. Don't buy this. I returned mine.

Pros
  • Good performance
Cons
  • I have no complaints about it, everything is fine

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor quality, best in docking stations

Opened this unit to use it and it's cheaply built and doesn't work. Tried on 3 different computers and with different ports. The HDMI connector is installed incorrectly and is unusable. I will come back and buy another product.

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Can't remember

Driver not available for macOS Big Sure

You must disable some security features in Mac OS Big Sure (not recommended) to install the beta drive in order for the intranet to work.

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Not as thick as the other options

It's actually not a docking station

The HDMI connection between my MacBook Air and the monitor didn't work, but the display port works. The concept of a docking station should be to easily and securely connect a laptop to desktop peripherals, but this so-called docking station actually needs to be plugged into 3 separate ports on the laptop. Going forward, no additional USB ports will be provided - just the same number of USB ports that it "consumes" when connected to my laptop. Not very helpful.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Long delivery time
