Review on πŸ”Œ Targus ACP51USZ USB 2.0 Docking Station with Video: Enhanced Connectivity and Display Solution by Ron Thomas

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great products, could use more USB ports

I bought this product for my Viao on the advice of a Sony Chat sales representative. I wanted to have two monitors and since my laptop doesn't allow me to use the HDMI and VGA ports at the same time, I had to look for a port replicator. Reviews for this product said it was pretty good with simple graphics, but they tended to underestimate themselves. I will review the installation process. (Windows 7 64-bit). After connecting the port replicator, the driver was automatically detected and installed on my laptop in about 1 minute. At this point, my mouse, keyboard, speakers, network card, and monitor were all up and running with no problems from my side. very shocking if you ask me. I used to use port replicators and one thing that has ALWAYS happened is that video (DVI in this case) never worked until you went to a graphics card site to download a generic driver and then it was at best . I didn't even have to do anything, pretty impressive. I connected the replicator and then connected two connectors (clearly labeled) to my iPhone and speakers (which require power), and the other two to my keyboard and mouse. The design of the product is quite nice in my opinion, and I'm still shocked that everything goes through this USB port without any lag. The only downside is that I wish there were more USB ports, 2 or 4 more would be ideal, but I'd settle for one more on the side. PS: A DVI to VGA adapter is also included.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Something's wrong
