Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the USB 3.0 Mini Dock's ease of use, USB connectivity, overall performance, and compact size. Compatibility and the variety of ports are also appreciated, especially considering the affordable price and monitor support. However, some customers have noted that the device tends to heat up during use. Despite this, the mini dock's connectivity is generally seen as a positive attribute.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    This dock works well for its price. It sure beats having to plug all of your external devices into your laptop separately.

      Hello Billy,
      A docking station is great way to organize all of your peripheral device cables in one place at your desk. Plus having the option to add additional monitors and a wired Ethernet connection is a nice bonus. I hope that you continue to enjoy using the mini docking station.
      Thanks,

    Great product. Easily installed with downloaded drivers. Simple monitor set up after that. A little pricey, but laptops don't have the option to add a PCI card so I guess the options are limited. It definitely accomplishes what I need it to do.

    Returned the HP dock that didn't work which only allowed either of the 2 ports to work. This units allows both ports. That gives you 3 extra monitors, 1 on the laptop and 2 on the dock.

    This is very useful and handy. Highly recommended. However, it stopped working after upgrading to Big Sur (for Mac users). Hopefully they will have drivers soon. I’m sure they will have it soon.

    There should be a power button to turn the laptop

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

    There should be a power button on the device so that you don't have to keep opening the lid to power it up. Other than that the device works great, I have my external monitor and wireless keyboard and mouse connected to it also. There are 4 USB ports. The other problem is the VGA cable has no place to screw in when plugged into this device so you have to be careful when moving the laptop.

      Hello,
      Thank you for choosing a J5Create device. It is good that it provides all of the connections that you need. There may be a solution for the problem you are having with the dock losing power when the laptop is closed. Depending on the operating system you are using there are power options that you can select for when your laptop lid is closed.
      If you would like assistance with this you can contact our customer service team. Their contact information is on the device packaging and also on our website under the Support drop down.
      Have a great day,

    A Solid and Versatile Accessory for older MacBook

    Excellent product and very well-built. Had some difficulty getting my HDMI display recognized. With the help of the manuafacturer's tech support, was able to get it working OK, however it does result in a somewhat creepy "screen being observed" message. Also can't unlock the screen with my Apple Watch in that mode, but neither of those issues are game changing. Would have been 5 stars except for that.

      Screen recording just means, it essentially allows video in or out of the computer, video conferencing such as zoom or google meet also requires this to be enabled otherwise they will not work. j5create

      Small, portable, easy to use are 3 characteristics we keep in mind when designing products. Having monitors, keyboard/mouse all connected to one makes work much easier.
