A lot of money for what you get

This is a very flimsy, cheaply made docking station. The plastic looks light. The way you connect your Macbook is inconvenient. However, it works and I couldn't find any other Macbook docking stations. (I'm using a 2018 13" Macbook Pro with it.) 2 HDMI ports support dual monitors and I can connect USB devices to it. If it were half the price I would give 4 stars. Update: 1 HDMI port works now and all USB ports not. They just died. That was enough for me not to be able to return it. DO NOT BUY!

Really neat but arrived broken

I've wanted a dock like this for a long time and I really like it with one exception. One of the HDMI ports didn't work and when I contacted the seller they said it was out of stock so I could send it back but there would be no replacement. I've decided to leave it as I'm only using one monitor at the moment. Everything else about this product is excellent as it holds my 13" MacBook Pro at an angle to allow air to pass underneath. I use a separate monitor and keyboard. The extra ports were…

Terrible performance (updated Oct 2019)

*** UPDATE Oct 2019 - After 18 months this dock stopped charging my laptop *** FIRST CHECK: I need to turn off my macbook completely, unplug dock, macbook reinstall , and then turn everything back on when I put the laptop in the dock. The laptop must also be started with the lid open for the first time so that the external monitor can recognize the HDMI connection. A mouse and keyboard connected via USB randomly loses the connection and requires a complete shutdown of the Macbook and the…

Cons
  • Big and chunky

If it works, it's great. Unfortunately, it's buggy as hell.

My rating is based on my employer buying this for me and it works with two HD HDMI monitors and leaving the 13" MBP underneath open to support three monitors. Three repeated crashes with no apparent solution and they're really driving me nuts. 1. One of the HDMI ports randomly stopped working, it happens probably 2 times a week. Sometimes when downloading or re-docking, sometimes while running. Phew, black screen. Tried all the obvious, switching cables, turning the power cycle, restarting Mac,

Cons
  • Speed

This is literally the ONLY dual monitor dock that *reliably* works

This is a godsend. At work I was upgraded to a 2017 13" MBP with no touchpad, and while it's a hot rod compared to my old 2015 13" MBP, it lacked ports and compatibility with four other hubs/docks, provided by my employer. I bought it straight out of my pocket from Infiniwing (Landing Zone) as it wasn't available from Revain at the time. Like the previous Landing Zone Dock I bought, it just WORKS. Gone are the displays that flicker every few minutes. Gone is the constant pain of having to…

Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
