This product will not be compatible with the Apple M1 Macbook Pro or Air due to no available Big Sur drivers from J5 Create.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I bought the 13 port 3 screen J5create hub for the Macbook Air M1. According to J5create technical support. 10 of the 13 ports are plug and play and require no drivers. Here are the limits. The bracketed HDMI video port and left Displayport video work - but you must only choose one. Tested the HDMI video on a 4K IPS 27” LED Backlit Monitor, and it is stunning. The right HDMI video port does not work. The VGA video port does not work as it requires a driver The three USB 3.0 ports work for devices, just not for USB 3.0 displays, asthe latter requires a driver. The one USB 3.1 port works. The two memory card reader ports work. The Ethernet port works. The 100 Watt power port works, powering the Mac?Book Air M1 and the hub. The microphone jack does not work, as that would require a driver. So depending on how you count it 9 or 10 of the 13 ports work with the Mac Air M1. I asm still testing, but that may be a win for me.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Unfortunately, at this time this device is not compatible with the Apple M1 computers. Our Research and Development team is working as fast as possible to create a compatible driver.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I just bought the JCD543 (13 in 1) docking station the other day and I can confirm that with drivers, it doesn't support multiple monitors with the 2020 Mackbook Air M1. The M1 chip is limited to one external display, and this docking station driver doesn't support additional. If you are looking for support with the M1 chip, check out the Plugable DisplayLink docking stations. Some or all of them can support it. Read reviews on Amazon to see if it's compatible.
