Review on ASUS USB3 0_HZ 3B Docking Universal Station by Tim Hodzic

Good docking station for Asus G14 Zephyrus

Right after I bought the Asus G14 Zephyrus, I quickly bought this docking station to be able to operate two monitors, a keyboard, a mouse, etc. This docking station was awesome for all the connectivity it had. I could plug so many different ports into it, from USB to Ethernet and so on. This dock worked pretty well, but I ran into a lot of compatibility issues with my G14 Zephyrus. I've installed all the correct drivers and made sure everything is up to date to work properly, but nothing solved some issues I was having. The main problem I had was that my G14 recognized this dock as a display driver. About 5 out of 10 games I've played did the same thing, causing me not to be able to load them when docked. I got a display driver error message and then the game crashed. I found a workaround that launched the game when my laptop was unplugged and then plugged into the monitor dock, which fixed the problem but also sometimes caused those games to run poorly. I've tried many fixes in 6 months of use. Everything from trying to use only one monitor without an additional monitor and so on but nothing has been able to solve this problem. Unfortunately I stopped using it and marked it as lost. I'm not sure if anyone has had a similar experience with any other Asus laptop, but my experience with the G14 Zephyrus has often been disappointing.

Cons
