Review on ⚡️ StarTech.com USB 3.0 Mini Docking Station - HDMI or VGA Adapter Dock for Universal Laptop Travel (USB3SMDOCKHV) - Black by Dave Wolf

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy fix for more monitors

This is a pretty simple little device that works great! You probably won't be playing Farcry on this thing, but if you need an extra display for your laptop or desktop for everyday use, this is a good solution. I use it with my work laptop to view more code (programming) at a time. I think it uses your CPU a lot. When I watch a YouTube video on it, I notice more CPU usage than when I watch it on another screen. The better your CPU, the better results you are likely to see with this device. I've noticed a slightly reduced video FPS compared to my other screens, and when I drag the window there's a slight "stuttering" because I can't redraw the screen fast enough, but not enough to really to be annoying. it is enough to notice. When I type on it or surf the web, I don't see any difference from my other screens. Color etc. is perfect. I'm a happy customer, that's exactly what he claims!

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Communication with seller
