Very easy to setup and connect to my dual monitor setup.

So easy to use! So many ports! I have 2 HDMI monitors plugged in to it. It connects perfectly with my personal dell laptop and my work laptop. No issues at all!

Cons
  • Struggles with video playback

Works with HP Probook 440 G7

I'm using this dock station with my HP Probook 440 G7. It works fine without any issue. Only thing I wish the manufacture can improve is the TYPE C connection cord should be longer. Maybe about 16" long.

Pros
  • The USB-C connection ensures a fast and efficient connection, saving you time and increasing productivity
Cons
  • Limited ability to adjust display settings

Works Well for my opinion

I am using this docking station for work on my Lenovo laptop and extra wide Dell monitor and it has worked well so far. I am a civil engineer so I use the docking station almost every day for 8 hours a day. The only thing that I don't like too much about this docking station is that it gets pretty hot but I have had no other issues with it so far. I like how it has few plugs to get my laptop connected to my monitor, my old docking station had too many cables and was a brick. I also have an…

Pros
  • This docking station is the ultimate solution for multiple connectivity needs
Cons
  • Can be slow to recognize connected devices

Lightweight & Easy To Bring With You

My previous docking station was twice the size and weight of this one. My additional screens stopped working with that device. This new docking station worked like a dream as soon as I plugged in! I also travel for my work, so it makes for easy travel and use.

Pros
  • 6.3 x 3.54 x 0.79 inches
Cons
  • Short cable length can be inconvenient

It just works, right out of the box

I bought this because my employer switched hardware from Microsoft Surface Book to HP Elite Book, which rendered the charging cable from my MS Surface Dock obsolete.I received this order on time and plugged everything in. I was up and running on my hardware and all peripherals (two monitors, webcam, keyboard and mouse) in moments.No bloated software required to download prior to installation. No complicated instructions. Just plug in and go.The whole dock is almost as light as a regular USB…

Pros
  • Excellent item
Cons
  • Power supply is not included

Great compatibility with all devices

1.What device do you use the adapter for?- monitor, Jabra Headset, wireless mouse, USB-C power cord, other USB devices2.Did the adapter compatible/work with your device? Adapter worked with all my devices. It even worked when I connected my Ipad to adapter as the main device. All accessories seemed to work with Ipad that were plugged into dock3. How do you like it ? I like it alot. Small, lightweight, and does exactly what I bought it for

Pros
  • This docking station is compatible with Dell, HP, Surface and Lenovo, so you don't have to worry about whether it will work with your device
Cons
  • Corrupted or missing drivers can cause issues

I know I should have read the description but there were a lot of images that were false advertising. With any MacBook the dongle only supports extending to 1 monitor. If you plug in another monitor, it will just get mirrored. I honestly don't see the point in that at all. If you just need extra ports for your Mac, go with something else.Aside from that. Everything else it does well. Can't vouch for Windows laptops, though.

Pros
  • The Ethernet port provides a reliable and stable connection for video conferencing, virtual meetings, and streaming
Cons
  • Low-quality USB cables included with the package

Can’t use this adapter if you have a case.

Can’t have a Case on the MacBook Pro 13’ and use this adapter. Adapter goes over the es que where case is usually more protective.So far I like the quality but not being able toUse a case makes me look into other options.

Pros
  • The sturdy construction of this USB-C docking station ensures durability and longevity
Cons
  • Limited warranty period

It worked for me! best in my review

The new Dell laptop computers do not have a lot of ports to connect extra items after your docking port is filled. This allowed me to connect other items easily when needed. The only problem I have is the usb3 connector wire is not that long (6 inches) and I was hoping for something longer. All in all, a good product so far.

Pros
  • The compact size of this docking station makes it perfect for both desktop and mobile use
Cons
  • Slow charging speeds for larger devices

Does what it needs to

Bought for my son's school Chromebook. Chromebook does charge thru adapter and I add a monitor to make doing his homework easier. Also use it on a HP pavilion and Zbook. I can't charge thru it (not USB-C) but I do run 2 monitors and a couple USB devices.

Pros
  • The Ethernet port offers a fast and secure connection, making it perfect for those who work with sensitive data
Cons
  • Struggles with high-bandwidth devices such as external hard drives

Great tool for my Surface Pro 7

The first one I received had an issue with the hdmi. Seller was great and responsive and they send a replacement. It works amazing with my surface pro 7 I can connect 2 monitors to it and each have its own display, connect our external hard drive and charge my cellphone. Works great with the case I have doesn’t affect it at all. The only thing I would say if the cord was a little longer from the surface to the adapter I could set it up and don’t see all the cables but one I unplug it and put it

Pros
  • The dual monitor compatibility is ideal for video editing, graphic design, and other professions that require multiple screens
Cons
  • Struggles to connect multiple devices simultaneously

I love this! - my new review

As someone who is constantly needs more ports, this has made my life so much easier! I haven’t needed to get another port for my computer yet, so I am very happy with this!

Pros
  • 5 ounces
Cons
  • Confusing setup process

Great Product for my opinion

I use this with my MacBook Air M1,2020. The device works great. I did have to remove the bottom cover I had on for protection. When it was on it would not seed the adapter correctly. Overall I like the product, its slim and works very well.

Pros
  • Docking Stations
Cons
  • Lack of a headphone jack

Works well but not perfect with my Dell laptop

I expected that this adapter will handle well my two HD monitors (from Dell) which I use with my Dell laptop (i9). However ,one of these monitors does not produce enough contrast and stability. I have to use a second adapter just for that monitor. Otherwise I do not have issues with this adapter. Although I have not checked all connections yet.

Pros
  • ZMUIPNG
Cons
  • Only one HDMI port

Revainrating 3 out of 5

there's something off about this.

I have three things I need to connect to my macbook air m2 which two require usb and the third hdmi—and access to the power. As you know, this dongle does NOT have the hdmi support, however it has two usb and 1 usb c connection, to which I can connect another dongle that supports hdmi to it. A PITA, but it'll work and I can have my mac connected to power at the same time. Thank goodness I have that extra one because I connected my mouse to this dongle and first, none of my usb connections sit…

Pros
  • This docking station offers users a hassle-free setup process, enabling immediate connectivity with their device
Cons
  • Inconsistent performance with different types of devices

Had the ports I needed

I needed a docking station for 3 monitors. I also wanted a small footprint. I connected this to a laptop at home. It all connected and worked except for the mouse which I am troubleshooting. I do not know if my mouse is too old or if the port is bad. I did not want to spend a lot of money. Things to be aware of are as follows.: pwr cable is only 1 foot long. Two hdmi ports but I prefer 3 so needed to use vga cable. No drivers to download. So far I am happy with it. Just know your needs first…

Pros
  • It’s working like plus.
Cons
  • Subpar audio quality

2021 June Honest Review

Is this a solid piece of equipment?Yes, it serves its purpose, being that everything on the market has not converted to usb-c. I would have given it 5 stars if it were compatible with cases.The Ethernet cable is hard to take out at first but after a removing the Ethernet cable a couple times the slot smooths out. It is not compatible with MacBook pro case. I was so happy with all the different ports I couldn't let this go. So, there is a work around if you absolutely need this. (See…

Pros
  • The Ethernet port allows you to connect to a secure network, ideal for working with sensitive information
Cons
  • Causes lagging or slowdowns with some devices

Works Well for Me for my opinion

I purchased this dock for use with a new Lenovo ThinkBook i7. It seems to work well, though I haven't tried to extend my desktop to outboard monitors. I'm basically using it as a port replicator and having good experience. I do have a problem trying to use a Plantronics BT adapter for a headset, it will connect when I first mount it, then it disconnects for some reason shortly after. I've tried every USB port on the dock and received the same response. This doesn't happen when the adapter is…

Pros
  • With the multiple ports available, you can connect a variety of devices without compromising on speed or efficiency
Cons
  • Limited support for certain graphics card models

Works as needed: my feedback

The docking station is exactly what I needed. I prefer being wired in over wifi and my work laptop doesn't have a wired port, so the docking station was the way for me to be wired in. Ive had the docking station for almost 3 months now, and it works well. I don't know if it's laptop or the docking station, but there are times the docking station isn't recognized so I need to unplug it and plug it back in. But otherwise it's been great.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Limited customization options

Good basic docking station

Ordered this because my Dell Thunderbolt docking station had broken over the weekend and a new one couldn’t be received quickly. This item did what I really needed, which was connect my small screen laptop to my 27 inch monitor. It doesn’t charge the laptop, however that wasn’t a problem for me. I will use this as my traveling dock station since it’s very lightweight.

Pros
  • It’s doing exactly what I bought it for. On time delivery.
Cons
  • Frequent connectivity issues
