Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is exactly what I was looking for to connect both of my monitors to my laptop, duel monitoring. This docking station is pretty good.

Easy to set up. Gave my laptop more than enough USB ports. Have had no issues since i set it up.

This is a must need for a laptop user or a mobile office worker, has come in handy bouncing from desk to desk.

Finicky. Ports seem a bit loose otherwise seems to be working fine.

Great product and works really good I recommended to my friends

This is truly plug and play. I was truly surprised at that aspect of it. Sleek and trim and easily tucked behind the monitor.

This is very useful and easy to use. Light and doesn't take to much space.

I haven't used it as much as i thought i would. But it worked well for the few months i needed it. I'm glad it's here in case i need it again.

This was good for what it had, but i ended up not needing it so I returned it. It was easy to use.

What a steal for the ports and the capacity of the docking station ports. Awesome deal on the price. My new works well with it.

Truly a game changer if you won a MacBook, it allows you to hook up dual monitors to your laptop

product is excellent. The salesperson was very helpful in choosing the right product for my needs

I first picked up the IOGear version of this dock which was a little more and it worked but stopped working after a few weeks of use for reasons unknown. Tried updating the firmware and drivers to no avail. I saw this one and was hesitant due to the price but I’m glad I went with this one, it worked and all my monitors work without issue. A few months and no issues. While you do not need to install drivers for this dock, it is strongly recommended that you do so that your system can recognize all of the ports and displays easily.

Purchased this J5Create Docking Station for our MacBook Air. The rep in the Apple section of our store recommended it and the clean, slim line design was appealing. I followed the simple instructions and was still having trouble connecting the other monitors. J5Create does not mention that they have a YouTube channel with “How to” videos for troubleshooting however they do and after finding these it made this product very easy to use. We ended up purchasing another one for our other PC computer and it works great.

This item is great slim works great and does exactly what I need it to do

This allows me to run 4 screens (max): 2-HDMI (or 1-HDMI, 1-DVI), 1 VGA, and the laptop screen. it eats up about .4gb of memory running but worth it; CPU idles at 2% with no apps running. The Vga is a little fuzzy but still worth it and I'm running intel 630 graphics with shared memory on the laptop. Overall very impressive. with all the options.

Perfect mate for my new laptop, makes very easy to plug/unplug devices. Perfect to work with external monitor

First time user and has performed great for a PC setup.

I was given a Mac for work and wanted to extend its capabilities to monitors, USB slots, ethernet cord (when my wireless connection is acting) up, and a couple of other things. It's worth mentioning that I went through three different docking stations I purchased on Amazon and even though they claimed 'Mac compatibility', one thing or another wouldn't work. With one, the Mac wouldn't shut down or go to sleep - thought it was the settings, but that wasn't the case. Another didn't allow me to project two monitors even though it claimed it did (sigh). What's worse, a month or so ago, an update was pushed out by Apple that did not permit non-certified docking stations to be used so future hardware problems can be prevented. Annoying but understandable. I chatted with a colleague at work who recommended a couple of brands he uses for his Mac. Based on some heavy duty research, I ended up settling on this guy and then crossed my fingers. So far it works but, specifically in my situation, there was an issue of not being able to have my two Dell monitors extended. I was under the impression if I plugged them in the j5create, one via HDMI port, and another in the DPA (bought a little HDMI adapter for it), that all would work. What I failed to realize is that the USB Type-C cable isn't strong enough to support output for two monitors, so what I ended up doing is getting a USB-C to HDMI cable and plugged the second monitor directly into the Mac. I could have easily misunderstood the capabilities of this particular docking station, but the Mac goes to sleep and shuts off fine now. Monitor extension could present a problem for Mac users whose laptops only have two Thunderbolt ports because they'll use up the ports. I lucked out because mine has four.

Using on my Dell Inspiron Ryzen 5 At first I had issues to download drivers from their site but after that worked I have had no issues using this for the past several weeks. Using UCB connections to a CNC, programmer, printer etc and they stay connected day after day and no issues with the two HDMI screens I am running from the laptop which I just leave closed and sitting on a shelf.
