1) Love the fact that all USB 3 ports are

I've researched enough about docking stations and this one wins for several reasons: 1) I like the fact that all USB 3.0 ports are instead of just 2 of them them if I ever want to take advantage of 3.0 in more ports; 2) The fast charge ports on the front are great for my phone 3) It had all the ports and features of any other device (plus extra 3.0 ports), even 4K capability if I ever wanted it, yet in a compact size for saves space on the table. 4) When I found it attached to the back of my…

Great dual monitor docking station

Less than a day of use but so far it's exactly what I needed and then some. I have a Yoga 720 and an old desktop with two DVI monitors connected to it. I was looking for something that would connect to my dual monitor laptop without spending $200. Bought this and the RevainBasics HDMI IN to DVI OUT Adapter Cable - 6ft cable (latest standard) to get the job done. Set up was a breeze. Plugable emailed me a link to download the driver needed for my laptop, which I did the night before and as soon…

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Nothing here

Plugin is good but specs are bad

First I use Lenovo Yoga 720 - very fancy; I wouldn't buy again because not everything works with it! Plugable is a good docking company but the specs were unclear so I searched 3 docks to find one that worked - the most expensive of course! I wanted to expand my laptop to two additional monitors: 1) standard 1920x1080 and 2) ultrawide 2560x1080. The UD-3900 and UD-5900 plug-in won't do this, and it wasn't clear from the datasheet that it wasn't. (Note: Weird that the $20 uGreen USB-C dock…

Great box and great support.

December 22, 2016 Thanks to Pluggable's great active support, I'm increasing my rating to five stars. After I posted my review, support contacted you to explain that the issue I was having was due to my USB 2.0 device not working well with the dock's USB 3.0 ports and that it was strictly pluggable docks was. Also, they offered me a 2.0 port adapter for free and shipped it to me to connect two devices. Arrived quickly and works as promised. December 19, 2016 I've been using the Plug-in Dock…

Now it's better to work! Thank you Plugable!

I have experience with docking stations with Dell and Surface Pro 3 so I had high hopes for this. Use with a Dell Inspiron 7000 Series 2-in-1 and an HP 24" Full HD Monitor. Installed the latest drivers from Plugable, then hooked up the monitor, ethernet, 1 external hard drive and a 7 port high speed USB 3.0 hub. Computer the way I want it, like having a monitor plugged into the laptop's HDMI port. Don't know if it's a docking station or software limitation both don't work when I restart both…

  • Easy to read control panel

UPDATE 6/1: I went back to check the review for updates and I saw Bob's comment that they tried to contact me but I haven't responded yet . My school's spam filter blocked the message, so I'm glad they tried to contact me via a comment. I emailed support and got a response within an hour. No kidding, I thought that such good customer support was only heard in advertisements. Within a day they billed me for my defective unit and sent me a new tested one. The new dock works exactly as I remember…

Pros
  • Nice touch

Great docking solution

Great docking station. Minimal, does its job well and is backed by excellent manufacturer support. I have two monitors (1920 x 1200 and 1920 x 1080) connected to either an old Asus laptop or a newer Dell 7710, both with Windows 10. 4k capability, but I liked the form factor of this model better than others offers. Audio is routed to external speakers from an HDMI-connected display. Ethernet and a Logitech wireless receiver are also connected (see below). After installing the DisplayLink drivers

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Durable
