    Lot of issues when paired with 2018 Macbook Pro

    Was very excited to purchase this docking station to connect my 2018 Macbook Pro with my Dell P2715Q monitors but it all ended in disappointment and return because it ended up having lot of issues. Before I dive into the issues, I should make a note of my setup - I connected monitor one via USB-C on the dock to DisplayPort on the monitor while monitor two was DisplayPort on the dock to MiniDisplayPort. Issue1: Whenever I woke my MBP from more than 5-6 hours of sleep, the monitor DisplayPort-MindDisplayPort never woke up. I had to constantly unplug and plug the monitor to wake it. Never an issue plugged directly into MBP. Issue2: Even though monitor plugged into USB-C port woke fine from sleep, it would take a couple seconds of flickering and jagged images to wake up. Again, never an issue plugged directly into MBP. Issue3: I don't understand why these docks don't have more USB-C ports in the front and the back. Eventually I plan to upgrade all my equipment to USB-C, at which point this $350+ dock will be useless because it only has one USB-C port. There is no future-proofing for such an expensive dock. Issue4: Even though I purchased this dock knowing it doesn't have a built-in SD card reader, I am now of the opinion that for this kind of money, it should come with a SD card reader built-in. Issue 5: The power brick that goes with the dock is massive! Just a little smaller than the dock itself. Very unsightly in my opinion. Having said that, the dock itself is very well made and looks nice sitting on a desk. Just wish it worked better with 2018 MBP and had better port options.

      Hi, Sharma76,

      Here's something that you can try that might help on the sleep mode concern that you've raised. Try disabling the Auto Select option of the monitor. On the monitor's Input Source, set the Auto Select to OFF. This way the monitor will only focus on the connected port for the awake/sleep signal. Refer to the monitor's manual for more info on how to adjust the monitor's settings. If that won't work, please get in touch with us at [email protected] with your contact details and a link to this review so we can have our Product Experts look into this.

    Connects a lot, but suffers on wakeup

    Was using with a 2016 MacBook Pro with TouchBar. You can connect a lot of peripherals, making the one cable connection a reality. The problem is with waking from sleep. My4K monitor will not connect without unplugging and then plugging the dock back in again. Sometimes I have to do this multiple times. It also kept one of my external drives awake and spinning.

    I use this with my MBP. it charges just fine, and the only problem I've noticed is that when I put my MBP to sleep with the lid already closed, sometimes the DisplayPort+ display will not receive the signal. Only the Thunderbolt Display will wake up with the MBP. I usually end up unplugging and plugging it back in to make it recognize the second display again, sometimes I don't bother when I don't need the second display. All of the other ports work just fine.

    I bought this to go with my recent MacBook Pro purchase. The dock itself has a good number of ports and works pretty well. The only downsides are sometimes the audio cuts in and out when connected to my extra speakers and I would like to have 1 or 2 more USB 3 ports at this price.

    I also tried a OWC dock. This should have an SD slot in front, and it REALLY, needs 2 more USB-A ports on the back. 4 at least is important. The longer cable that comes with it is awesome. This is about $50 too much, and 2 ports too few. But it works great with a new macbook pro and a 4K monitor.

    Good, but why are these things so expensive?

    There must be something I don't understand about the making of these types of devices - they're all so expensive. That being said, this one works fine. I use two 4K monitors with my 2017 MacBook Pro and they both run at full resolution @ 60Hz. My one issue with this device is that sometimes my MacBook wont detect the monitors when I plug it in. The laptop will charge but simply not detect the monitors. I've tried rebooting the MacBook but nothing fixes the issue other than power-cycling the dock itself. Pretty annoying.

    There are probably better choices around, but this one was available (though not at the closest store) the day I wanted it. It lets me connect the external things I need (time machine drive, external keyboard, traceball, etc.) I haven't used ethernet or high speed USB devices yet, so I can't comment on that.

    I love my hub. When I bought this I was looking for Thunderbolt 3 so I wouldn't be buying a second later on. This hub did exactly what I want and as my needs change, I can foresee this hub continuing with me for years to come.
