    Great dock, works with MacBook M2 chips

    I use this as a docking station for my personal MacBook M2 chip, and my work MacBook 16 Intel. It's great to swap out which computer is connected to my monitor, mouse, and keyboard. The built-in storage is very convenient too since I have the cheaper / less storage version it can be expanded with this.

    I went and bought the docking station, went home a and tried to set up dual monitors. One of my monitors uses display port. It was not working, so I went to PC repair shop and asked to check the display port. They confirmed that it is not working and advised me to exchange the unit for another one. I went back to Best Buy store and bought a new unit. Before I left I decided to let Geek Squad person in the store to check if display port is working. They plugged one of their laptops thru docking station and connected display port to the monitor. The port didn't work again. They refunded my money. All other ports were working. This unit cost $150 and I expected ALL ports to be in the working order.

      Depending on the computer, for example, Mac computers running a M1 chip will only display 1 external monitor. Macs with a M1 Pro and M1 Max chips are capable of displaying dual monitor setup. Windows computers with a USB-C port must support "DisplayPort Alt Mode" for video out. Please refer to the manufacturer of your hardware for more information on your device. Both HDMI and DP video ports are Plug n Play, no software required. j5create

    Use Caution With This Dock

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Had this dock for 2 weeks. 1st week it worked great on my 2019 MBP i7 and MBA M1. Had 2 monitors, one through HDMI and the other through USB-C on the side, along with external HD and music gear. No issues at all. I'm extra cautious with my gear. swapped power supplies when changing MacBooks, 61W/MBP and 30W MPA. Had everything plugged into a APC PSU (also have $20k worth gear) I have never had noise, power spikes, or electrical issues. My grounds are good at my home. All of a sudden the dock stopped working and gave a "USB Accessories Disabled" on both MB. Went through all trouble shooting steps including a SMC reset, still doesn't work. It also killed power to my external HD, killed my right air pod pro, and gave an error on a Akai MPC X. I have had all of these thing minus the dock for at least 2 years besides the M1 and have never had these issues. Now my USBC #1 is working intermittently . It took 2 days to get everything back to normal. I would avoid this dock. I had high hopes for this dock with the M2 SSD drive. On J5's website they have drivers for most of their docks, but not this one. Seems rushed to market.
