Really Happy - Update in one year

This is the first USB-C docking station I've ever bought and I have to say that I'm very happy with it. It's nice and compact and feels well built. Good weight balance keeps it on my desk even with all the cables coming out the back Comes with a USB-C to USB-A adapter which is a big plus. Worked out of the box with my USB-C laptops with one exception: 60W is way too low for my Dell XPS. However I have yet to find a USB-C that my XPS likes, it requires 130W which is not available and probably not possible. On older laptops like my HP Envy which is now 7 years old it worked with a USB-C to USB-A adapter and after installing DisplayLink on Windows 10 and also worked on another laptop running Windows 8 ( also after installing DisplayLink). I was able to split my desktop into two docked monitors and a laptop screen. I'd like to see more USB 3.0 ports on the front for flash drives. Also, don't forget to buy a dlink to HDMI adapter if your monitor doesn't support d-link. Of course now that I'm working from home you get used to it every day so it might not stand up to the strain of working 8 hours a day. I know it's locked when music stops playing through MediaGear's USB audio and the screens become unresponsive and discolored. Usually, simply unplugging and plugging the dock back in is sufficient. When this happens, it often appears to be quite warm, so it can overheat. I've looked at other docks and they just don't have as good a layout as this one, so I hope it holds up.

Pros
  • also understandable for the old
Cons
