Doesn't work with HP Elitebook x360 1030/Windows 10

The HP Elitebook x360 1030 works _some_ but very unstably with this device. It took me a few tries to get it working, I think the drivers weren't installed properly (or the wrong drivers were installed). I have limited control over this device, it is my work laptop so I was unable to install the drivers from the manufacturer's website. I think Windows picked the wrong version or something. Sometimes it works, if not I have to turn off the machine and the dock and try again, it finds the dock on

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Everything OK

I don't usually write many reviews but every now and then I'm satisfied with a product that I like and feels like it's worth the money and then some. This is one of them. With COVID-19 raging everywhere, one of my kids needed the right keyboard, separate monitor and mouse to work alongside his laptop. This docking station was my second choice after ordering the first wrong as it only supports the latest AltDP standard over USB. They of course hid it in the fine print so I sent it back. After…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Annoying

The best technical support I've ever had!

I've never heard of these guys but I took a chance because the Dell docking station was quite a bit more expensive. I had an issue where when I connected a USB-C cable to my Dell laptop, the dock didn't work until after I restarted the laptop. So it worked, but there was no "hot swap". I thought it might be a Windows or Dell issue but it might be a plug-in issue so I emailed support. Within 10 minutes I received a response - a very smart response that asked me specific questions and suggested a

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • I'll write later

Great device, greatly simplified my desktop.

I bought this to make my life easier when switching between work and home laptops. This block is great. Allows me to easily detach my personal laptop from my setup and plug my work laptop right into its place. The bonus I had was that my power supplies were interchangeable for both laptops. Disconnect the 2 cables, swap them and reconnect. It's that easy. I'm using this to drive an old school AOC 21" LCD with VGA and a 15.6 portable LCD installed. It also gives me plenty of USB ports for my…

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Factor Set

I like working on two screens, but I also like my laptop's processor and the ability to be portable. This docking station was very easy to set up and came with all adapters. Before the product even got to my house, the company emailed me instructions on how to install the drivers. - Update - although the company was very good initially, I emailed them with my problem (no phone number) and never got a reply (3 times). The problem is inside. If your router has a 5G internet band and your laptop…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Requires a power outlet

A set of peripherals for two machines

I installed this between my personal desktop and work laptop to replace my Razer Widowmaker, Logitech G600 and two monitors. Bad: 1. You must use HDMI and VGA ports and DisplayLink drivers to connect monitors to this hub. I have 4K monitors with Displayport outputs and a GTX 1660 card for gaming. Of course I still have to swap cables and connect monitors to my desktop when I want to game, but for the rest of my desktop needs the video drivers are fine. 2. You need a switch to connect to a hub…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • For retirees

Big Budget Universal Dock

A universal dock will never be as good as a manufacturer dock for several reasons. At the same time, a universal docking station that works regardless of brand is still very practical. This is a solid 4 to 4.5 star product despite the list of minor cons below. We'll update the review below if there are any issues later. ADVANTAGES: + Cost. Docking stations of certain brands can cost 2-3 times more than this docking station. + Slim. It seems to be available in both vertical and horizontal models

Pros
  • Quality Construction
Cons
  • Modern
