    I am a Photographer and Videographer. I do A LOT of editing and having this kind of portable dock that you can carry with you everywhere is so awesome. It saves so much time and you don’t have to wait until you get home to began your work. It’s very light and sooooooo worth it. This many ports on one dock, I love it! Danielle

    Good docking station, watch out for ventilation

    Docking station works! Although I wasn’t sure if my hdmi to display port cord was working for not. But it might have been a bad cord. You have to install the driver before plugging it in. The only downside is that if your laptop vents are underneath towards the back the docking station will cover it. I have to balance my laptop on the docking station to have proper ventilation.

      All 13 ports are combined into one slim docking station, so you’ll have all the connections you need to stay productive. Thank you for your review. j5create

    I was a little skeptical about buying this big docking station but i needed something that had many usb ports. Since i am a teacher. I have many different things connected at the same time so this docking port came in handy. The reason i am giving it 4 stars is because the first time i tried to connect it, it didn't work so i took it in so the geek squad could help me out. They got it to connect somehow it works great now.

    This is just what I was looking for. I wanted a all in one dock including to be able to charge my laptop. Having 2 monitors attached, Speaker plug in, USB doggles and a power cord. Now all the wires are hidden and organized. Had to buy external power supply as the Dell has a different end on the cord that doesn't match up to charge.

      Charge your computer through the JCD543 power-in port with a Power Adapter (JUP2290). Power Delivery is required. j5create

    Not ideal if you connect to VM

    Purchased it to solve for a need for two monitors for work. However, it doesn't work via VM connection (I use Horizon Omnissa Client) on a Dell laptop. There was a USB port driver error I couldn't resolve and I couldn't get the displays to work despite having the correct drivers installed for them. I did have a 100 watt USB C power supply and my laptop does have the power display USB C port. When you search for solutions, you can't find any regarding connecting to a VM. Had to return it and found a Targus that works.

      Virtual desktop environments like Horizon/Omnissa can sometimes restrict external display functionality or driver communication, which may cause the type of issue you described. j5create

    I was looking for a docking station for my new laptop because I prefer to use a stand alone key board and mouse on a daily basis with a bigger screen, this works perfectly for all but the screen. This particular model will allow a second screen but I have to keep the lap top open to use it. So I use an external keyboard and mouse and the laptop screen. I'm also able to physically connect tot he internet and a printer when the WiFi is slow

      For different capabilities all in one, the JCD543 is a good choice; when it comes to working with the laptop lid closed, we recommend contacting the support team on the device packaging in order to troubleshoot this and be able to close the lid and still use the computer if you wish to use it in that manner.
      Sincerely,

    I original purchased this docking station b/c all the connections are in the back of the unit and it had a long usb-c cable. But, I needed to install a driver to make it work. I am not able to install drivers on my work computer, so I had to return it.

    I didn't understand how this type of docking station would work, I know duh right, but it is so easy. It gives me all the ports I need. You just have to plug into your laptop and then start adding usb ports or ethernet, and a couple I don't use. Since the Yoga I got didn't have enough ports for me this docking station was a no-brainer for me.

    Needs beta drivers for M1 laptops

    Using with new M1 Apple Laptop. You must find the experimental drivers on the company’s website. It does work but it’s a bit buggy- you have to unplug/plug it in if computer goes to sleep or is restarted. I hope with a newer driver release it will work better. Honestly my expectation at this point is for things to be plug and play and this is not.

      The HDMI, VGA and Mic requires drivers. The rest of the other ports are PnP. We have beta drivers that support display and/or Ethernet functionality to M1 Mac computers. We will continue testing to provide drivers for M1 Mac computers on an ongoing basis. Thank you. j5create
