I would recommend this to a friendDoesn’t support two external monitors for Citrix
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to use for work. I connect this to MacBook Pro and access my office system with Citrix receiver. After the macOS 11 upgrade it’s not supporting two external monitors when using Citrix. However when not using Citrix it supports two external monitors. Needs a bit of work from j5. On top of that it needs the drivers to be installed on MacBook Pro.

Posted .Unfortunately, our devices will not work with Citrix. The Dock requires drivers to be installed on the computers operating system. We apologize for the inconvenience. Sincerely, j5create.

Great docking station
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to use docking station. It has many port options and functions exactly as described
I would recommend this to a friend Cord too short.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The docking station works well and has plenty of docks to use for various pieces of office equipment. However, the cord to plug the dock into the computer is very short. It can plug in from either end, however it is too short for my desk using either end. I wish it was a little longer.

Display Resolution Issue
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This docking station does not support 2 displays at 1920x1080. 2nd display is max 1600x900. Also when laptop is remove and reconnected, Lenovo Thinkpad laptop locks up.

Posted .The USB-C Triple Display Docking Station does support 2 displays at 1920 x 1080 resolution. The problem may have to do with the supported resolutions of the monitor, your computer, or a setting may have to be changed. For assistance I recommend reaching out to our customer support team by visiting the j5create website then click on the "SUPPORT" tab at the top right of the webpage. Thank you.

Had to Return
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It looks good, but I had to return it. First, It doesn't come with a power supply, but gets its power from the USB-C port of the laptop. You can apparently get one with a power supply (somewhere?) but you can't buy the power supply separately. Nevertheless, it "works" without a separate power supply. The first problem was that one of the monitor ports didn't work. There is a VGA, HDMI, and a "HDMI or DisplayPort" port. The latter has two physical ports but seems you can only plug into one of them.. Seems flexible, but the "HDMI or DisplayPort" port didn't work at all. No matter what, I couldn't get a monitor plugged into either of those to work. So I had a two-port docking station in essence.. HDMI and VGA. No deal breaker at the time, I would contact support to try to get it replaced. But.. then it would start freezing the displays. Mouse would move fine on the laptop screen so the laptop wasn't frozen, but the display outputs on the monitors never changed. That was the deal breaker. I decided to return it and I found a Dell docking station for just a few dollars more (and with a power supply) and it worked right out of the box.

Posted .Hi!
I'm so sorry to hear about this. In cases like this we do recommend contacting customer service since they are trained to assist in issues like this and can help you get up and running again. We actually do sell the power cord separately over at Best Buy as well as the version of this device that comes with it.
I do apologize for the inconvenience you've had and I hope that you've been able to get up and running.
Thanks,
