Great dock station
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as it is supposed to. I have usually used the same dock as the laptop i have but was tried of the crazy amount of money the want for these simple devices. This one performs just as the expensive ones.

does what it says it does
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My laptop has thunderbolt 3, but thunderbolt 3 docks cost hundreds of dollars. The mini thunderbolt 3 docks come with very short cables and USB C 3.1 extension do not work with TB3. Was shocked to hear from Belkin and CalDigit that no extension cable really exist and the max the USB C extensions can handle is 10GB (TB3 is 40GB). So this led me to look for a USB 3.1 dock. The J5Create works perfectly, only 1080p 60hz, but it does that nicely and I have the drivers installed on three laptops and it works great for all of them. My 6' USB-C 3.1 extension also works great with this dock.

Worth the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought the price tag was a little high, but it has handled multiple displays better than my last mini dock. Just make sure to download the driver for optimal performance.

I would recommend this to a friendworks as described
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a pretty good adapter, if you plan on running 2 HDMI screens you'll need to install the J5 tool but it seems to work fine once installed. I also wish it had some way to include power for my laptop so you do still have to have a power supply plugged in as well

It was ok
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It worked, but I returned it for another brand. A popular competitor was nicer quality, smaller, and with a finish that better matched my MacBook Pro, if that's important to you. Something to consider, many of these, this model included support 4K on an external monitor, but at only 30Hz. If you'r using a modern Mac with a Retina display, you'll notice the slower refresh rate and the external monitor won't be as smooth. There are adapters that pass 4K at 60Hz, but I'm not familiar with them, and had trouble finding this type of dock that supported that. I do mostly word processing, searching through literature, and basic spreadsheet stuff, so that wasn't a dealbreaker. If you're really into video, or games, that'll probably bug you.

Posted .Thank you for letting us know about your experience with the JCD381. Because the mini dock works off drivers, it may not be the best for intensive resource programs. We do have other devices available that may work better; if interested, we would value the chance to discuss them with you and see if we can turn this experience around. If possible, support information can be found on the casing and a specialist will be happy to assist.
Respectfully,
