Review on WAVLINK USB 3.0 Universal Laptop Docking Station: Dual Monitor Display, Gigabit Ethernet, and Multiple USB Ports for PC, Tablets, Android Phones (HDMI, DVI & VGA; 2 Red Charging Ports, Audio) by Marc Gallner

The best laptop dock, Wavlink USB 3.0.

I recently purchased four of these Wavlinks for my Acer office laptops with Win 10 Pro based on previous reviews and I have no regrets with my purchase. Unlike the Plugable brand and others, you don't need to install the driver first and then connect the device. You just plug Wavlink into your laptop and it does all the work. Find the latest driver online and it works right away, no reboot required. Furthermore, this Wavlink has two USB 2.0 charging ports in addition to two regular USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.0 ports. This is a very handy feature that "Pluggable" doesn't offer. The only features I would have liked to see in this Wavlink were USB ports for charging and connecting a microphone and headphones on the front. All ports and connectors on the back panel. If you don't need to access these things on a daily basis, it doesn't matter. However, I had a big problem. When I received the packages, one of the blocks was wet on the inside. I don't know how that was possible, but there was water in the plastic wrap. When I connected this device to my laptop, the display did not work. I messaged the seller with pictures and he sent me a new Wavlink replacement very quickly. I am a very happy customer. This device is also cheaper than the "pluggable" one I also have. I recommend the Wavlink device to anyone who is confident.
