    Easy to set up, but does not pass thru the full charging power so you get an error message.

    One I received was partially defective in that the display port did not work, but otherwise it worked great and was conveniently small and lightweight. Will likely repurchase

    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 am really enjoying this purchase. Flawless connection and it had enough ports for all my devices. I was able to connect all or my devices by just “plug and play” action. My double screen monitor for my laptop worked just awesome. I recommend this product for your connection needs.

    I bought this for my laptop to hook up to dual monitors and that worked but I could never figure out how to set it up where I could close my laptop. Likely a user error but not 100% sure if it was that or this device. Otherwise, it worked for what I needed it for.

    I was forced to buy one of these because the new macs don’t have any USB ports. It’s suppose to sit under the laptop but for my 13” Mac it doesn’t look right. Other than that it’s pretty great. It just takes up a lot of space if you don’t use it under your laptop though. Out of all the other options though, this was definitely one of the better ones that I saw. 3 USB ports and other ports as well. I wish these things were cheaper but what can you do I guess

      Good day,
      Thank you for your feedback on the triple display docking station. There are some tradeoffs, there are a lot of ports, but the docking station is big, as well as functionality versus price. As you know computers are being manufactured with fewer USB ports so hubs and docking stations are becoming a necessity. We appreciate you taking the time to write a review on the docking station.
      Thanks,

    Great dock for my Macbook Air M4. Needed dual monitor support along with the Macbook Air screen itself. I have lots of USB devices that I need to use as part of my job and the dock does a good just with this.

    Nice dicking station w plenty if USB ports that don’t power off for unknown reasons like my old one. Using with a Dell Inspirion and also switch a Lenovo Thinkpad. Works great with both. I can use 3 screens with this dock (laptop and 2 HDMI monitor connections). Well worth the money. Fast delivery by Best Buy - came in 2 days without paying extra for shipping. Definitely recommend!

      The unique design of the JCD543 having different capabilities makes it very attractive for the typical office worker, allowing you to not only have more ports, but to rest your laptop on top makes this next to none on the market.

    This is a great buy if you need extra connectivity. This allows my laptop to have multiple devices connected and charging at the same time and place. I have a external hard drive, earbuds and overhead light to maximize my laptop use. All this on one outlet! Worth the price.

    Works great. Lots of inputs while providing pass through power. It does not provided the same power of a dedicated power supple but you can also plug your dedicated power supply to your computer at the same time.

    It does what it should.

    The only thing I 'regret' is that it doesn't have a optical audio out. This does require a specific driver download. Sometimes it doesn't work with both the monitors I have connected via HDMI. As in, the computer will go to sleep and one external monitor will display and the other won't. Other than that, I have a USB-c hub plugged in and the attached devices work fine. The analog audio works fine, I haven't tested the network, but I imagine it's okay.

      Doing what it should is what the docking station does best. If you are only getting one monitor to work at a time, there is troubleshooting that can be done and we would value the chance to resolve this. If interested; technical assistance can be obtained by contacting support on the casing and a specialist will be happy to help.

    I read many reviews complaining about this unit that I ALMOST didn't get it! But I am glad I did. This unit does everything that I have asked it to do. I am using the HDMI port for an external display and love the SD and micro SD card slots! Great bonus! The only complaint that I have is that the powered USB 3.1 port is not clearly labeled. As such, I cooked an external HD. Lost a few files that I wish I could get back, but, c'est la vie!

    Does and doesn’t get the job done

    Doesn’t come with a power cable, so you’ll have to visit the products site for their cable or hit up amazon for one that provides ample juice. It does allow me to hook up two monitors with hdmi to give me 3 screens. Though it’s unstable and I occasionally have to plug/ unplug from laptop to get screens displaying. Some collaboration tools lose audio while plugged in. Power pass through is not great and get the warning that charging will be slow, not sure how power is allocated with so little plugged in. This was suppose to allow easy drop in for my wife or I and not require peripheral shuffling/power ply shuffling. Having to still plug in laptop power defeated that objective. Official drivers did not seem improve any of the described behaviors. So it works, just not as expected by the description. Likely another universal docking station out there that would do a better job. If you’re in a pinch and just need something in a hurry it may work for you to get by.

      Hi!

      I'm so sorry to hear about this! We actually do sell a powered version at Best Buy that comes with the cable, but I know how frustrating it can be to need to return like you did for the power cable which we do sell separately as well. Please contact my customer service team and we can help get you up and running without the connectivity issues. Our information is found on the back of all of our product boxes and on our website.

      Thanks,

    The design could improve itself. It has only two HDMI ports and it could be necessary to have one extra. Sometimes the power supply gives me problems, my computer doesn't recognize this device, so I have to disconnect and connect it again.
