Great for the person who works out of a laptop bag
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am giving it a lower rating only because it does not work for me once I have it. It is almost too mobile in the sense that it will slide all over your desk since it is only about 5 oz. My home workspace does not move that often so I ended up giving this to a co worker and buying myself the Plugable USB tower which I do like.

Posted .Hello,
I believe that I understand what you are saying about the JCD381. I think that the JCD543 may have been a better dock for you. It is more stable and has more functionality, but it still has a slim profile design so it is easy to take with you.

Posted .Good day from j5create,
It’s great to have extra monitors with your laptop. Having the extra USB ports will let you connect your peripherals to the dock so you only have to unplug one cable to pick up your laptop and go. Hope that you have a great day.
Cheers,

DOA... returns things to best buy its always easy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.purchased today may 29th 2022... the device was about $100 and it looks well made its stated that BEFORE connecting the docking station I have to download and install the Win driver... it does not say that its is Win-11 compatible but I figure that win 10 driver would make it work. I either got a death on arrival part of the driver it is not Win11 compatible. went back to best buy and got my money returned. downloading the driver was very straight forward but the web site is annoyingly design to try to get information from customers and to sell so something else...

The associated software is... not great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very solidly built, but the software packages are pretty terrible and not at all intuitive. USB hub functionality is fine. Video and network are not terribly convenient (at least on an M1 macbook)
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Proper functionality entails downloading and installing a driver on a Windows or Mac platform. Depending on the OS you have, different instructions apply. ** If you require further assistance; please contact the j5create Technical Support team and they will be glad to further assist you. Thank you.

I wanted to like it
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as a work accessory for my Mac. It didn't recognize the monitor. Get Squad attempted two times. They said installing is finicky but when it's going it's golden. However it didn't work, so I did a trade for the Mac dongle that doesn't need software. The new one just works.

Posted .Phil, I'm sorry to hear the JCD381 did not function as intended for you. Due to Mac's security implementation, you may have a difficult time getting the adapter setup. In such situations, we recommend reaching out to the support team printed on the packaging and we will be glad to help you get up and running in no time.

Does exactly what we needed it to do
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.During quarantine my wife needed to work from home and required the use of dual monitors with her work laptop. This does exactly that, also helps that extra peripherals can be plugged in. Such as a full keyboard and mouse. No issues with it so far.

That's great news! I'm glad to hear that you've been able to get your wife up and running without difficulty and that she's able to work without having to worry about anything shutting down.
Thanks!
