I tried two other docks before risking it with this one. To be honest, I love the space-saving feature of this docking station. My others have their laptop on their desk and honestly it takes up too much desk space. Once you have it set up, it will be easy to connect. Just slide your laptop into the slot and plug in a cable, and your docking station will charge your laptop and give you access to all the peripherals you need. To charge the laptop I had to plug in a Mac charger. The charger is not required for the docking station to work, but if you want your laptop to charge in the docking station you will need to add a charger. The best thing about the dock was that it solved the most annoying problem I called StarTech branded docks. I've always had issues with the other two docks: when I wake up my Mac after it has gone to sleep, my video stream has a pink tint. I would have to turn off the dock and plug it back in for the video to look right. This doctor never did that. I had it for a few weeks. Couldn't be happier!
