Power Issues for my opinion

Before I make a harsh statement it should be noted that I:* Used EVERY USB port on the device while running 3 screens* Was using the SSD enclosureBUT obviously all this should have been accounted for, or the device wouldn't have had it.It gave out on me after 90 days and started making a squealing noise.Also prior to the failure, it would have an extremely delayed effect waking the screens back up when the computer went to sleep. Just steer clear of this guy.I am waiting to leave a "Supplier…

Pros
  • Worked for Bluetooth keyboard and Webcam . Didn't work for dual monitor
Cons
  • Do not buy this, it is unstable and poor quality.

Here's the Answer to the Obvious Question

It can only output one 4k/2k output, all other outputs will be 1080p.So if you have two 2k monitors, $100 docking station will only give one 2k and the other will be 1080.So the answer to the question "So will this work with my dual 2k monitor set up" is yes but one/two will be 1080p

Pros
  • works perfectly fine
Cons
  • The docking station may not work with certain types of hard drives or SSDs

Works as advertised

I purchased this device for use with an HP Zbook to extend the number of monitors and USB ports (for keyboard and mouse). The device works well -- works as advertised -- and I would recommend the product for the price.

Pros
  • Has both DP and VGA, with the screw holes to keep VGA connected. Works great.
Cons
  • Warning !!! It does not work!!

Great docking station for multiple monitors

Great product, plug and play out of the box. I plugged 3 monitors into it - two Displayport and 1 VGA, plus a mouse and keyboard. All were recognized instantly by my computer and immediately working. The size is small, maybe only the thickness of a pack of cards and twice as long, so huge improvement from my previous much larger docking station. This gave me the same capabilities as brand docking stations that cost 3x as much. Highly recommend.

Pros
  • Works fine with my new MacBook
Cons
  • The docking station may not work well with certain types of audio editing software

HDMI Adapter doesn't work!

Don't risk a purchase! The HDMI component didn't work and I immediately had to return it and opt for the more expensive Apple adapter instead. It's a waste of time with this product.

Pros
  • It's used with a laptop.Seems to work as expectedI like that it has a metal housing
Cons
  • The docking station may not support certain types of video outputs

Connection - my new review

The only complaint I have is that if you bump it at all it notifies me on my computer that it was "disconnected” even though it wasn’t. The connection is obviously weird and doesn’t work that well.

Pros
  • This is much smaller than I had expected, which is a good thing.
Cons
  • cheaply made

Absolutely not worth the money

This product boasts about being able to handle a lot, but it cannot consistently handle 1 usb connected speaker, 1 usb c charger, and 1 hdmi chord. it will constantly disconnect. I have tried getting a replacement but both cannot seem to do the bare minimum.

Pros
  • Docking Stations
Cons
  • The docking station may not work with certain types of virtual reality headsets

Perfect little adapter

I bought a new Macbook Air, then realized I needed an adapter for USB and HDMI. I found this little adapter and it's perfect for my needs!

Pros
  • Ultra 4K Quadruple Display
Cons
  • The docking station may not offer enough bandwidth for certain types of data transfer

Bought the M2 MacBook Pro 2022 and needed to be able to connect 2 additional external displays. NONMIRRORING. Needed them to be 2 individual displays. This did not work. This only allows them to mirror eachother. Don’t buy if you need 2 extension displays.

Pros
  • China
Cons
  • The docking station may not support certain types of video conferencing software

MacBook Pro 14 Inch

Everything worked except for two things. A random screen flicker would occur about every hour or so. It failed to recognize the SSD PNY m.2 Solid State Drive.Returning.

Pros
  • Good quality, works perfectly, nothing more to say other than I highly recommend
Cons
  • It may not be user-friendly for some users

Great adapter! in my review

I bought this for my MacBook Air so I don’t have to remove the case when I’m using an adapter. Works great! Very small and easy to use. No trouble hooking up a 2nd monitor with it. Definitely recommend this adapter!

Pros
  • SurfaceGo has limited ports. This makes it easy to connect to necessary devices.
Cons
  • Users may experience lag or performance issues when using multiple displays

It works, to the specifications in the fine print. Read carefully about all relevant specifications in the description before purchasing. The part I didn't read careful enough, is that when all 3 displays are connected, 2/3 will always be mirrored.So it works to the specifications as written in the description.if you read them all carefully, just not what most people would ASSUME when connecting all 3 HDMI monitors.

Pros
  • Fast Charging & Data Transfer
Cons
  • It may not be able to charge certain devices while they are in use

Docking station good for me

I’m working at home for the holidays , I wanted to connect two monitors to use with my laptop . This was just what I needed I connected my two monitors to my Dell laptop. Easy to set up and works great . So happy I took a chance .

Pros
  • The Multi-Functional USB C Docking Station is compatible with a range of laptops, including MacBook, Dell XPS, and more, making it an incredibly versatile product
Cons
  • The docking station may not offer enough bandwidth for certain types of live streaming

This unit does not recongnize ssd with my computer. No solution on how to get it to work. Wasted my money on ssd purchase. That's my feedback.

Pros
  • seems like a quality product. USB ports worked fine with 2 portable drives simultaneously.
Cons
  • The docking station may not work well with certain types of video editing software

Works but… in my review

My main purpose for buying this docking station was the ability to use with the M1 MacBook and connect more than one external monitor which doesn’t work. After more research I found that ONLY specific Plugable docking stations paired with downloaded drivers will workaround this Mac M1 limitation.

Pros
  • Great product. Portable. Works well with my MacBook Air.
Cons
  • The docking station may require additional drivers or software to work properly

Solid product best in my review

Seems solid and a good product that seems durable and works well. I’m using it as an adapter from my MacBook Air to HDMI and other devices.

Pros
  • This worked great with my Mac Air
Cons
  • The docking station may require frequent firmware updates

Great equipment for the price!

I purchased this item to connect 2 monitors and wireless keyboard to my Surface. It has worked seamlessly and still allows me USB ports open and available if needed for use by other devices (such as a jump drive). Overall, im extremely satisfied with the unit and would recommend for use as a docking station. Price was excellent as well. Thanks!

Pros
  • I wanted a simple solution to hook up two monitors to my laptop and this was perfect!
Cons
  • The docking station may not work with older computer models that do not have USB-C ports

Good HP compatibility!

I have an HP laptop, two LG monitors, a staples keyboard and mouse, and a logitech webcam. This dock connects all of them and allows for extended displays not just mirrored!

Pros
  • Computers & Accessories
Cons
  • The docking station may not support certain types of Thunderbolt 3 devices

Solid build quality. No compatibility issues experienced.

So far, I've used the the USB 3.0 ports and SD card to USB C on a MacBook Pro. Haven't done speed tests as yet. No compatibility issues experienced. Very pleased. Silver completely matches the silver mac. Imagine space gray has to be a good choice for the space gray macs.

Pros
  • I bought this adapter to use with my MacBook Air to TV presentations. So far, it has worked great.
Cons
  • The docking station may not work with certain types of keyboards or mice

Plug and Play - my new review

Bought this so I can use dual monitors with my laptop. The thunderbolt connector makes it easy to set up. Having extra USB ports is also a plus. One issue, if you use a USB adapter to connect to an older laptop the HDMI ports are not functional. The thunderbolt port on the computer is needed to use the monitor connectors.

Pros
  • Bought this for my daughter to use with her MacBook at Grad school. So far no complaints and it works.
Cons
  • The docking station may not be compatible with certain types of third-party accessories
