Customer Ratings & Reviews

The docking station is easy to setup and is designed so the PC can sit on top of it. At first it had an issue with causing 1 HDMI display to freeze, but that has not happened for a while. It can have issues with sizing windows when (1) moving from a smaller display (like a laptop) to a larger display or (2) when opening new apps like Word. This is not a show stopper -- it requires resizing windows. I use a Lenovo docking station with a Lenovo laptop (supplied by my employer) and it has none of these issues. Lenovos are more expnsive (~$180 and up). For $100 the j5created docking station is a reasonable value.

This USB docking station has been used with 2 HP laptops. Connected to it are 2 vides: both LG: One is a 32' LG flat screen and the 2nd/main is an LG 35" curved screen. In addition, it also powers 2 external hard drives. Compact and totally reliable.

I needed a docking station that could connect my hp laptop to three external monitors. At the time, the hp-brand dock that could handle that was on backorder. I found this little guy and I’m glad I did! It works perfectly for my needs, was less expensive than the hp-brand dock, and was in stock at my local Best Buy. Now I buy this same dock anytime anyone at my office needs a laptop dock.

It is a bit different than the last docking station I had but I tried it out anyway. I initially had a problem when I was done transferring a digital embroidery file to a flash drive and then securely ejected it the docking station quit recognizing my usb mouse. when moving the usb to the computer itself it still worked. Thinking it was just an isolated incident I took it back to best buy explained what happened and asked if they had any other complaints of the same nature they said no so I replaced it with the same docking station and have not had any issues with this one.

Easy to set up, but does not pass thru the full charging power so you get an error message.

Can't power the computer through the docking station, but still works. As long as you have two usb-c on your computer this will work. I run two additonal monitors plus use laptop monitor and haven't had any problems.

Nice option for plugging in many components. I find it a bit pricey though. It does work well with all I have to manage on my desk with work at home.

I only have one display connected to this j5create docking station and so far so good. I got it to connect all the other things beside the monitor. The mouse, keyboard, and a few USB sticks. Its also nice to have only one cable going to the laptop. I had to purchase the insignia 90W USB-C power supply to connect to the j5create docking station and then I could plug in the HDMI cable for the monitor. I wouldn't recommend this model to everyone since it requires a USB-C power cable, but its ok if you don't mind purchasing the USB-C power cable separately.

Great little dock for a basic setup. I work from home and have a HP laptop for work and a M1 MacBook Air for personal. Sometimes my wife wants to connect her work ThinkPad for a conference call, etc. I previously had a HP dock that only worked with my HP laptop, but wanted something universal that could handle all 3 laptops that didn't cost an arm and a leg and this one fit the bill. The manufacturer has posted on here that the drivers are only needed for the microphone, the HDMI port and the VGA port. We're not using any of those, so I can confirm that is accurate on both the PC and the Mac. I'm only using a single external monitor with QHD resolution and it outputs at native resolution via DisplayPort at 60Hz without issue. 4K output is limited to 30Hz, so something to think about if you have a 4K monitor. I also like that you can switch the configuration of which side the host cable comes out. My MacBook and my wife's ThinkPad have the Thunderbolt port on the left side and on my HP it's on the right. It's smaller than I expected based on the photos, which I appreciate. In terms of quibbles, it's pretty light and feels a little cheap, but that's to be expected at this price. Other than that, I do wish it had one more USB A port. I already have the 3 filled with mouse/KB wireless dongle, webcam and a wireless headset dongle.

This docking station was a game changer for me. Like many others, I created a home office during the pandemic. I had my laptop hooked up to my monitor, ring light, camera, etc. That was all fine and good while stuck at home but became a pain once I was working in home as well as other locations. Enter the j5create docking station. A quick connection from my laptop to the USB-C port and all of my devices are connected. When I take my laptop with me it's only one connection to disconnect and will be waiting for my return. I've had it for over 2 years with no issues.

Excellent universal docking station. I wish the USB-C were a bit longer so the dock doesn't have to sit IMMEDIATELY next to my laptop. (-1 star) because it does not come with a power supply so I had to go back to the store to purchase that separately. So if you think the price is better than the competition it is because this does not come with the power supply

Great slim USB C dock. A single cable can handle 3 displays, a keyboard, a mouse, power for a HDMI to VGA adapter. Way better than the other chunky docks that cost way more that this one. I don't use the Ethernet because I use my WiFi card but I'm sure it works great too. The cable is long enough and you can route it on either the left or the right of the device for convenience and for the sake of keeping your desk neat.

I would have given this 5 stars if the charger provided the 60W my Dell Inspirion 2 in 1 needs. I had to order a separate 100 W charger. It has all the items I need - audio for speakers, VGS for monitor, USB for mouse and keyboard. I'm very happy with it.

I like that I can use 2 external monitors plus my ThinkPad E16 Gen2 to have a 3-way display

Very nice gadget that allows multiple monitors and other peripherals attached to your laptop.

I bought this for my new Lenovo Yoga Laptop and I love it! I have plugged in 2 additional monitors, wireless trackball mouse, CD rom, and plugged my external speaker up to it! I just lay my laptop down on top of it and plug in one cord and everything that I have plugged in works immediately! It is big enough to add my additions to it, but it doesn't take up much desk space at all. I Love It, I Love It!

I use this with my MacBook Pro as well as several PC laptops. Drives my 4K display with no issues. Love having a single plug to both charge my MacBook as well as offer Ethernet, mouse and keyboard. Tilts the laptop up a bit which offers better cooling. Only real issue it’s a bit pricey, but because it’s so universally easy to use and transport, I still give it 5 stars. Also have called the company that makes this a couple times. They do have good technical support, which is always a plus.

I bought one of these for my chrome book and fell in love. I love the ports including HDMI, RJ45, SD cards, uSB 3.0, usb c with power etc. I love how my laptop balances like a real docking station, while neatly connecting with a usb c. All in a space saving slim profile! Moreover it is long enough to accommodate my 16 inch MacBook. I loved it so much that I got a second one for my MacBook Pro and Surface Book 3! Highly recommended!

I was looking for 2 monitor display but unknowing i went to another city and saw this on sale for 99.99 but somehow it didnt work so thought of returning it but wabtee to give a last try and downloaded the drivers from their website and thats it...and from then it works like a star..you have more options than you need...the only thing that doesnt sork properly is the mobile charging port..my phones says the charging will be slow and it will take 5 or 10hrs to charge ypur phone but thats ok as i didnt buy for that purpose....over all SUPER HAPPY

Works great and easy to pack away. Can handle 2 monitors
