I needed a docking station that could connect my hp laptop to three external monitors. At the time, the hp-brand dock that could handle that was on backorder. I found this little guy and I’m glad I did! It works perfectly for my needs, was less expensive than the hp-brand dock, and was in stock at my local Best Buy. Now I buy this same dock anytime anyone at my office needs a laptop dock.

Keeps everything organized and connected. Wifi and Bluetooth are great until they aren't. When it really counts and your presentation or work is on the line, trust this docking station to come through.

The docking station is easy to setup and is designed so the PC can sit on top of it. At first it had an issue with causing 1 HDMI display to freeze, but that has not happened for a while. It can have issues with sizing windows when (1) moving from a smaller display (like a laptop) to a larger display or (2) when opening new apps like Word. This is not a show stopper -- it requires resizing windows. I use a Lenovo docking station with a Lenovo laptop (supplied by my employer) and it has none of these issues. Lenovos are more expnsive (~$180 and up). For $100 the j5created docking station is a reasonable value.

If you need a good docking station for a “work at home”, or are building a gaming set-up using a laptop as your base, this is more than capable of getting the job done.

The idea behind it is great, and it would normally be a great device. The problem is that many laptops, mine included, pull air in from the sides and blow it straight down. So after 30 minutes of using this device, it stopped working properly because the computer was overheating it. So if you put it BEHIND your laptop and don't use it as it was intended, to prop up your laptop, you will likely be very happy with it.

Overall this was a good purchase. I am able to connect either of my computers via the dock without any major issues that are the fault of the dock. The only drawback is that tone of the screws for the VGA port broke, but I am able to work around it.

Excellent docking station for additional plug ins. Fits nicely under the laptop and out of the way.

Great little dock for a basic setup. I work from home and have a HP laptop for work and a M1 MacBook Air for personal. Sometimes my wife wants to connect her work ThinkPad for a conference call, etc. I previously had a HP dock that only worked with my HP laptop, but wanted something universal that could handle all 3 laptops that didn't cost an arm and a leg and this one fit the bill. The manufacturer has posted on here that the drivers are only needed for the microphone, the HDMI port and the VGA port. We're not using any of those, so I can confirm that is accurate on both the PC and the Mac. I'm only using a single external monitor with QHD resolution and it outputs at native resolution via DisplayPort at 60Hz without issue. 4K output is limited to 30Hz, so something to think about if you have a 4K monitor. I also like that you can switch the configuration of which side the host cable comes out. My MacBook and my wife's ThinkPad have the Thunderbolt port on the left side and on my HP it's on the right. It's smaller than I expected based on the photos, which I appreciate. In terms of quibbles, it's pretty light and feels a little cheap, but that's to be expected at this price. Other than that, I do wish it had one more USB A port. I already have the 3 filled with mouse/KB wireless dongle, webcam and a wireless headset dongle.

Nice option for plugging in many components. I find it a bit pricey though. It does work well with all I have to manage on my desk with work at home.

I only have one display connected to this j5create docking station and so far so good. I got it to connect all the other things beside the monitor. The mouse, keyboard, and a few USB sticks. Its also nice to have only one cable going to the laptop. I had to purchase the insignia 90W USB-C power supply to connect to the j5create docking station and then I could plug in the HDMI cable for the monitor. I wouldn't recommend this model to everyone since it requires a USB-C power cable, but its ok if you don't mind purchasing the USB-C power cable separately.

Basically I'm replacing the one that died. That alone explains how well I like it.

Great slim USB C dock. A single cable can handle 3 displays, a keyboard, a mouse, power for a HDMI to VGA adapter. Way better than the other chunky docks that cost way more that this one. I don't use the Ethernet because I use my WiFi card but I'm sure it works great too. The cable is long enough and you can route it on either the left or the right of the device for convenience and for the sake of keeping your desk neat.

I bought this for my new Lenovo Yoga Laptop and I love it! I have plugged in 2 additional monitors, wireless trackball mouse, CD rom, and plugged my external speaker up to it! I just lay my laptop down on top of it and plug in one cord and everything that I have plugged in works immediately! It is big enough to add my additions to it, but it doesn't take up much desk space at all. I Love It, I Love It!

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

I bought one of these for my chrome book and fell in love. I love the ports including HDMI, RJ45, SD cards, uSB 3.0, usb c with power etc. I love how my laptop balances like a real docking station, while neatly connecting with a usb c. All in a space saving slim profile! Moreover it is long enough to accommodate my 16 inch MacBook. I loved it so much that I got a second one for my MacBook Pro and Surface Book 3! Highly recommended!

I use this with my MacBook Pro as well as several PC laptops. Drives my 4K display with no issues. Love having a single plug to both charge my MacBook as well as offer Ethernet, mouse and keyboard. Tilts the laptop up a bit which offers better cooling. Only real issue it’s a bit pricey, but because it’s so universally easy to use and transport, I still give it 5 stars. Also have called the company that makes this a couple times. They do have good technical support, which is always a plus.

Great product for the price. Quality is ok, not amazing, but it serves its purpose. Only downside is it required drivers to be installed but that wasn't mentioned on any documentation, so it delayed my initial setup and use...

I bought the a docking station, but it did not work and contacted support. They answered quickly during the week and determined that I needed to return the docking station and needed to get a different one. The 2nd one has worked perfect.

Product works very well. Gives a great addition to a laptop that don't have many ports.

I've probably purchased 10 of these for our office. It has everything you need to make your laptop a desktop replacement. The main reason for getting these is so we could output to dual monitors as well as use the laptop screen. We were even able to output to 3 external monitors simultaneously. Works with both PC and Mac. A little pricey but you are getting a lot of IO ports
