Works well
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was a little concerned because my external hard drives were not seen. Plugged in a power source and all was fine. Only wish there were more USB ports. I would purchase again.

Beware users with the Apple M1 chip
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was SO excited to buy this docking station to better utilize my MacBook Pro!! How disappointing to find out that it does not work with the Apple M1 chip (which my MacBook Pro uses). I even called the j5create maker to verify. I was told that It doesn't,... yet. Unfortunately, yet is too late for me! I returned it to Best Buy with no problem

Not for a Mac - Returned
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What a waste of time. Was told by Best Buy staff that this was better than the Bellkin. The J5 site said only the beta version works for Macs. After several hours with help from J5 support, downloading drivers, and no results, I returned it and got the Belkin, which was plug and play. Don’t waste your time if you have a Mac.

Great budget docking station.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Is a great docking station however you will need to buy the power adapter separately. I would recommend if you are looking for a dual monitor setup

Docking station w/out a dock
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a TRUE docking station, more like a massive hub with every type of connection. It doesn't charge your laptop/Surface, cannot "dock" your computer on it. Literally just an oversized, over priced adapter.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .The USB-C triple display docking station is designed to expand the connectivity of your laptop or device by offering various ports and connections, such as USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, DisplayPort, Ethernet, SD card slots, audio jacks, etc. They're useful for connecting peripherals like monitors, keyboards, mice, external hard drives, and other accessories to your computer.
Decent
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent hub, works great for what I need it for. I wouldn't recommend plugging in a keyboard & mouse along with 2 monitors though, it starts to lag out.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Hello, If you are running into lag issue, you may be experiencing leaky waves due to wireless keyboard/mouse interference. Try testing with a wired K&M if possible.
A must-have for newer laptops.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is exactly what I needed when I bought an ultra thin laptop. It works great, adds plenty of ports using just one usb-c port.

Great add to my laptop setup
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great add to my setup. Not using all of the plugins but it helps clean the wiring up and slightly lifts my laptop so air can pass.

On its way to being great.

I hardly know it's there
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It does what i need it to do unobtrusively so that's a good thing. Don't know what i think about having to use a usb-c port for everything, but I will get used to it.

Posted .Hello Violet,
Thank you for taking your time to share your feedback on the docking station. USB C ports are slowly replacing the older USB A ports. This docking station will serve you well now and into the future. This dock is designed to sit under a laptop so it does not take any additional space in your work area.
Have a great day,
