Impressive IOGEAR Compact USB-C Docking Station with PD Pass-Thru - GUD3C03: Ultimate Connectivity Hub Review

Didn't last long. For me it's less than two weeks. At first I thought my external USB drive was defective. Took it with an old MacBook Pro and plugged it into a USB port and it worked with no issues. Two other external drives that work on the old MB Pro also don't work when connected to this dock. I have to go back and find someone else. I haven't sent it back yet as I want to do more testing. When connected to a Surface laptop via USB-C, all ports work properly. It looks like this with the…

I'm tired of lugging my OWC Thunderbolt 3 - USB-C Dock from the office to home and back again. It's hard, with long chords and a Transformer Brick. The most important thing for me is that this docking station offers the possibility to connect a mini display port. At home I use my 27" iMac as a second big screen for my 2017 MacBook Pro and I absolutely need a Mini DisplayPort. For this purpose the Iogear Dock worked perfectly and all other USB connections worked perfectly. I've found that the…

I just bought this document because I previously had an old version. In theory (and sometimes) this is an amazing product. However, I have an issue that I thought updating to the latest version would solve, and 98% of the time my external 27" Apple Cinema Display connected to Mini DisplayPort won't turn on automatically when I connect a document to my MacBook Pro. . I have to unplug and plug the Mini DisplayPort back in a few times for it to be recognized. This problem is the only reason I…

Do not buy this if you expect HP Specter support. So here is the script. I asked about a supported USB-C dock for my HP Specter laptop. I wanted one that supports dual display when connected to a USB-C port. HP provided me with this docking station as a supported model. I then called IOGear and they told me that indeed it was. Glad to hear and proceeded to purchase this item. A few days later I got the dock, set it up and found that when I plug my laptop into the dock there is no display and an

I ordered this in hopes that I could reduce the number of keys on my Macbook. I currently have a standalone Ethernet/USB-B combo, HDMI/USB-B/USB-C dongle, and Thunderbolt dongle. I didn't expect to be able to replace ALL with it. It turns out that it can only replace the HDMI / USB-B / USB-C adapter. Neither the device itself nor the documentation/packaging indicate which MAC address is used for the Ethernet port. My Macbook doesn't recognize the ethernet port so I can't use my computer to…

I like this product as a complete solution for USB-C laptops, but wouldn't recommend it as a replacement for a powerful desktop dock. Think of it as a mobile option. I was able to get a 60W USB-C PD box to work with it, but it doesn't deliver enough power to charge a laptop (Surface Book 2). The dock consumes 15 watts. I found that the order in which things are presented is important for this to work well. That means the video out might not work unless you plug in the docking station and then…

I purchased this product in April (now August) and right away I couldn't get my USB mouse to work properly from any of the ports on the docking station. It turns off every 30-120 seconds (roughly) and stays off for various times (from seconds to minutes). But since I bought the device primarily for a network connection and multiple displays, I decided to just plug the mouse directly into the laptop and not bother with it. I then tried plugging an external USB2 hard drive into the docking…
