    This has come in handy with my MacBook Pro and extra screens and things to plug in. I’d recommend buying a new power supply for your laptop though so you can have one that stays at your desk and one you can take with you

    One cable in and I currently have: Audio, External Monitor, Two external harddrives and power running to my MacBook Pro. Worth the money for the 100 watt passthrough. Had to call customer support because I had the wrong driver, they were quick and courteous and solved my issue within minutes.

    Bought this for my kid to use on his laptop. It has quite a few ports but could use 2 or 3 more USB for the number of devices out there today. I work in computers and I can't seem to get the second HDMI port to work. It's probably just a driver issue but I quit trying after 30 mins of fiddling with it.

    Really can't beat this unit for the price, running three monitors off a laptop. I had two LCD screens and the screens would freeze once a day. I had to unplug the laptop from the docking station and plug it back in to get the screens back. Upgraded to LED screens and haven't had any issues since.

    Went to the Apple store to find a multi plugin adapter and COVID made it very difficult to purchase anything without making an appointment just to buy one item, at a higher cost I might add! BestBuy was open and had better choices and prices. Purchased the top of the line adapter and I’m glad I did!

    Nice dock that sits underneath the back edge of your laptop and frees up the desk space that might be taken by another style of dock that doesn't. Getting the video to work on two monitors took some trial and error but we finally got it worksing.

      The USB-C Triple Display Docking Station requires a computer to support DisplayPort Alt Mode and USB Power Delivery 2.0 or 3.0 features. The Dock will also need an installation of a driver for functionality via VGA, Mic and stand alone HDMI port. Please contact our Technical Support Team, so that they can get more information from you. Their information can be found on our website under the "Support" tab. Thank you. j5create

      Hello,
      It is great to hear that the docking station is working well for you. To get three monitors to work with the docking station you will need to install the driver software on to your computer and you will need to plug the dock directly into a USB-C port on your computer that supports display port alternate mode (not all USB-C ports support this feature).
      Thank you,

    This was the docking station we upgraded to. It turns out this one is not compatible with Big Sur. After checking, we learned this brand, j5 had software issues, no matter hat size. So, we returned this docking station. This one would have been fantastic if compatible with our laptop.

      Hello,
      Our devices that require software drivers are currently not fully compatible with Mac OS Big Sur. Some of the ports on the JCD543 Triple Display Docking Station will still function using Big Sur.
      1 HDMI Port or Display Port
      3 USB-A Ports
      1 USB-C Data Port
      1 USB-C Passthrough Charging Port (To power your computer)
      SD Card Slot
      Micro SD Card Slot
      Ethernet Port
      We are currently working on the drivers to make our devices fully compatible with MacOS Big Sur. We will have an announcement on the j5create website when the drivers are released. Your patience is appreciated.
      Thanks,

    Would not work with my new laptop HP 360 Envy. Called Geek squad and unable to help me. Called tech support on J5create and unable to help me. Was going to give up, but tried it on older HP Spectre laptop and looks like it will work- issue is the power cord. Still not exactly what I wanted, was looking for for a locking/docking station but does not look like they make them anymore. Directions also almost non existent.

      The USB-C Triple Display Docking Station requires that the HP 360 Envy supports an available USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode and USB Power Delivery 2.0 or 3.0 features. Please refer to the manufacturer of your hardware for more information on your device. The Dock will also require an installation of a driver for the VGA, Mic and stand alone HDMI port for proper functionality. j5create

    Useless product. It was fine for the first couple of weeks, but then one day I get an error about not enough power to use any of my peripherals that were plugged in. Now I can't use the HDMI port at all to plug into a second display, and the other USB ports only work half the time. I'd return it but it broke right after the return period. I don't recommend it. Also, try to get a hub that doesn't require you to manually install drivers. I tried to use this computer for work and it was a pain getting approval to get admin access to download drivers for this device to work in the first place.
