    Does NOT support two monitors

    This is really a nice small USB-C docking station ONLY if you want to use ONE external monitors. What BB says on the their site is wrong and should be removed, even Kensington's site says one monitor support. I am returning it and will be getting the $199 model.

    Single monitor only, needed dual.

    Seems to work well. However, the Best Buy description implies dual monitor output, with both HDMI and DisplayPort outputs. This is incorrect, it is only single monitor output on HDMI OR DisplayPort. This is clear in the description on the Kensington website. Best Buy needs to update their description.

Questions & Answers
  • I would like to know if this task master has a power cord to attach to a electrical cord. I need this cord so that my embroidery machine can read the embrodery designs. It has to have a usb cable to attach to my Baby Lock embroidery machine.

    I'm not sure I understand your question, but I'll try. The docking station has its own power supply that plugs in to a wall outlet. It passes power through to the computer via the usb c connection. The other usb c port is labeled such that it looks like it will pass power to another device. I cannot vouch for how much power the USB A ports pass through.

  • Can this Docking station do the following: Be compatible with both Macbook Pro 2019 & System 76 w/Linux. Connect dock to laptop and extend the screen to 2 external monitors. So that I can use Laptop screen and 2 external screens with no mirroring.

    This docking station supports 1 external monitor only. You can connect to HDMI OR DisplayPort, but not both at the same time.
