Revainrating 4 out of 5

Looks good, adds great features, could be a little better for end users.

It feels premium, very portable and adds a ton of functionality to an expensive laptop that has become completely incompatible with almost all accessories /: Fit and feel looks good but USB 3.0 ports are very tight . It's quite difficult to disable accessories without disabling/breaking the entire document. If you have a case on your laptop, the depth of the product is shallow and will "float" above your desk, making it a bit suspect to use USB-C ports that support the full load. The load has to be a factor, except when connecting and disconnecting accessories. I find the optics beautiful without a cable, but the practicality (and possibly durability) is somewhat questionable. I would have preferred one with a cable connecting the computer to the docking station, but Hyper doesn't offer one that will provide adequate power for larger laptops. I have a 16 inch MBP and was told by the support department that it is the only one that performs properly. I also wish this document had an ethernet port like so many others. They offer several options with Ethernet, but only for smaller (lower power consumption) laptops. These options include a wired option so they are likely to be a 5 star solution for models with less power consuming models.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
