Surface Docking Station
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased a docking station on Amazon that stopped working after a few days. I decided to go into my local best buy and ask someone there. They recommended this device (I have a surface laptop). So far it is working perfectly.
I would recommend this to a friend Very specific kind of USB-C port
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was the only other option In this Best Buy store that had an an extra usb-c port. But it’s so specific to a certain kind it didn’t work for what I needed but everything else worked fine. The size is more for bigger laptops. I had a 13 inch. It felt like decent quality. I’ve learned twenty dollars more can get me multiple usb-c thunderbolt 3 and/or 4ports at OWC.

Posted .Hello,
The JCD543 needs to plug into a USB-C port that supports display port alternate mode. Thunderbolt 3 ports do support display port alternate mode. I am sorry that the hub did not suit your needs.
Have a good day,

Docking Station
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This enables me to hook everything up for work to one device. Cords out of the way! Someone else hooked it up for me but it was easy enough for me to duplicate when I moved.
I would recommend this to a friend Highly Recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this for my Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020) to connect 2 27-inch curved monitors for business purposes. The drivers were very easy to install & everything runs smoothly. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a docking station.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.this docking station is a great addition to my new DELL Laptop. wish the connector cord were longer so as to have the docking station below my desk instead of immediately beside to clear my desk top of clutter

Need a Plug?
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously bought one online and it was a terrible USBC plug. I was able to find this really nice one at Best Buy. It has so many ports that can be used. I have yet to have a problem with it having a shortage unlike others. I do wish the cord was a tad bit longer.

Worth the purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for multiple displays. It's hard to get installed for older laptops. Use only with laptops that have the USB-C port. When you install an adaptor, you will have to use the HDMI port on the laptop and one on the Docking station for older laptops

Posted .The HDMI or DP ports are Plug n Play including the USB-C power-in (requires DisplayPort Mode and Power Delivery) and the HDMI/VGA/Mic are driver base. Thank you for your review.
Gets Hot
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great. Gets a bit hot but otherwise it’s good.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Generally, adapters emit some heat as a normal part of its operation, especially if the USB-C pass-through charging, Ethernet and/or all ports on the hub are utilized. Please note that hotter operating temperatures can be expected..

Better than the Laptop Brand Name docking station.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works like a charm. I tried the laptop brand docking stations first but this one is so easy to use and store to take with me.
I would recommend this to a friend Needs a charger
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great except did not come with power connection. Problem is it requires a 100w USB c charger which is not just any old USB c charger. J5create sells a adapter charger for this and it should have been included.
I would recommend this to a friendVery diversified docking station.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since I am still trying to utilize the device for the way it is intended, it does not allow my vga to connect to my older monitor. Probably will need an apple adapter to make this work. Otherwise the software download was seamless and I am up and running. The device does get warm but I believe this is normal with most docking stations. So far I am not disappointed.

Posted .Hello Joy,
I am happy that you are not disappointed with the docking station. You are correct that docking stations will generate some heat, so this is to be expected. Regarding the dock not being able to connect to your older monitor: if your older monitor does have a VGA port it should work with the dock. If this is the case with your monitor, you can save yourself a trip and some money by contacting our support team for assistance. Their contact information is on the packaging and on our website under the support tab. Support can be provided over the phone, by email, or live chat. We appreciate you choosing J5Create.
Thank you,
