Works with both USB-A and USB-C

I bought a new laptop that only had USB-C ports. I wanted to be able to use a desktop keyboard, mouse and second monitor with it. I also have a work laptop that I use at my desk when I'm working from home that doesn't have a USB-C. It was excruciating to unplug all the cables/dongles from my personal machine, plug them into my work machine and do it all over again. This dock is great because I have one cable for both laptops and my personal laptop doesn't need a separate charging cable. No…

Pros
  • Glitter
Cons
  • Some cons

Worked poorly in the Computers and Accessories category

Not much to say here. The product didn't work. It didn't work with my Dell laptop for work and it didn't work with my MacBook Pro. I called tech support, we spoke for a few minutes and then they must have concluded that the product needed to be returned as the call dropped and the return was already set up. Was a bummer because I was really hoping to have a universal dock that works for both Windows and Mac.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Poor performance

Great docking station for iOS and Windows

Like it, the only thing I had to buy was a DP to HDMI adapter for my second monitor. Easy windows install but for MAC I had problem with High Sierra OS when displaying 2 monitors. It might have been a driver issue, but I updated to Mojave OS and it got better. Never lost contact with the monitor.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Can't remember

Monitors do not show up on computers running Windows 10/MAC OS Catalina

I don't usually leave reviews for things I'm happy with. But this will be an exceptional case. I bought this dock because I was tired of cluttering up cables and having to switch to different dongles every time I use a different laptop. I have two 27" Acer XF270H connected to available ports (one HDMI and one DisplayPort) and both computers failed to detect monitors. I used an old monitor that I had lying around with HDMI and neither computer could recognize this monitor either. My MacBook Pro…

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • No color needed

One of the best docking stations I've used for Macbooks

This docking station is probably the best I've used for Mac devices to date. There was an equally good dock, but Apple discontinued it and it was a lot more expensive than this dock. I've used this dock for the original touchpad models and even the newer M1 model with no problems. What's missing from some of those previous negative reviews is that Mac devices require you to install and run the Mac DisplayLink driver in order for it to output external displays. Without this driver, the dock will

Pros
  • Lots of good vibes
Cons
  • Neutral

Support help is amazing

Bought this as a station for my PC and my husband's Mac to be able to connect. Worked fine with Windows PCs but could not be used with MacBooks. Called support and they helped troubleshoot and were able to get both working interchangeably! It now works great with both of our monitors and makes it easy to work with. We were also able to connect a wireless mouse and keyboard and all functions work just fine.

Pros
  • Everything is great!
Cons
  • Infinitely slow
