j5create - USB-C Triple Display Docking Station

I got this on Christmas Eve on the same last-minute out-of-town shopping trip that I got the Bose Revolve+ II Bluetooth Speaker, because I needed some way to connect my non-USB-C peripherals to a USB-C port on my recently-purchased M1 MacBook Pro. It's designed by j5create to be used with a laptop, as the slight upward slant is meant to provide airflow under the laptop and provide passive cooling - and if I'd ordered a 15.6" laptop, and didn't already have an active fan laptop cooler, maybe that would've worked. As it is, though, it's a bit clumsy for my purposes.... It's also more for gamers or people who work with multiple monitors, which I do not, having not one but TWO 30 Hz at 4K (60 Hz at 1080p) HDMI ports, one DisplayPort with the same specs, and a VGA port for those of us who check into hotels with older digital televisions or are stuck at Mom's house where she's been using the same CRT monitor she bought back in the 1990s! For those of us a bit more up-to-date there's also a three USB 3.0 Type A ports, a USB-C output port and a second USB-C port that can handle a charger of up to 100 watts for running your laptop and peripherals; SD and MicroSD card readers...oh, and a RJ-45 Ethernet jack because most laptops don't bother with them any more! It's an extremely capable dock, if only its form factor wasn't so clunky....

The docking station has enough input options for me to set up my work from home desk station, which is exactly what I was looking for. I think the long rectangular shape is a bit odd though. Because the power input to plug into your laptop is on the right side, you may have to toss and turn it depending on how many laptops you want to use it for and what sides the input would need to go on. I wish the cord would be in the middle and be a bit longer so my workstation could be the same for both my work laptop and PC.

I like this docking station very much. It was a good purchase. Landon from the Geek Squad was fantastic.

Love it works just as advertised! Definitely recommend

I have purchased two of these docking stations for two new laptops that have limited ports. Now I have access to use two monitors, cd reader, backup hard drive, memory slots without having to unplug anything. These work great and are reasonably priced.

Works great for three external monitors. The drivers installed automatically and with zero issues. The USB-C cable has a built in tray and is long enough you can route it out either side and the laptop doesn't have to sit directly on top of it.

This is a nice device, but we bought it to go with a Samsung - Galaxy Book Pro 360 and when the laptop is placed on top it completely seals the (already minimal) vent on the bottom of the laptop!

Works great should have had a bigger monitor though
