Pretty good
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was forced to buy one of these because the new macs don’t have any USB ports. It’s suppose to sit under the laptop but for my 13” Mac it doesn’t look right. Other than that it’s pretty great. It just takes up a lot of space if you don’t use it under your laptop though. Out of all the other options though, this was definitely one of the better ones that I saw. 3 USB ports and other ports as well. I wish these things were cheaper but what can you do I guess

Posted .Good day,
Thank you for your feedback on the triple display docking station. There are some tradeoffs, there are a lot of ports, but the docking station is big, as well as functionality versus price. As you know computers are being manufactured with fewer USB ports so hubs and docking stations are becoming a necessity. We appreciate you taking the time to write a review on the docking station.
Thanks,

Great Docking Station
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice dicking station w plenty if USB ports that don’t power off for unknown reasons like my old one. Using with a Dell Inspirion and also switch a Lenovo Thinkpad. Works great with both. I can use 3 screens with this dock (laptop and 2 HDMI monitor connections). Well worth the money. Fast delivery by Best Buy - came in 2 days without paying extra for shipping. Definitely recommend!

Posted .The unique design of the JCD543 having different capabilities makes it very attractive for the typical office worker, allowing you to not only have more ports, but to rest your laptop on top makes this next to none on the market.
Respectfully,

Multi-function connections
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great buy if you need extra connectivity. This allows my laptop to have multiple devices connected and charging at the same time and place. I have a external hard drive, earbuds and overhead light to maximize my laptop use. All this on one outlet! Worth the price.

Satisfied
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While I couldn't figure out how to get both monitors to work by using this docking station, even by following the instructions, I still like it. I have most of my cords plugged in.

It does what it should.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only thing I 'regret' is that it doesn't have a optical audio out. This does require a specific driver download. Sometimes it doesn't work with both the monitors I have connected via HDMI. As in, the computer will go to sleep and one external monitor will display and the other won't. Other than that, I have a USB-c hub plugged in and the attached devices work fine. The analog audio works fine, I haven't tested the network, but I imagine it's okay.

Posted .Doing what it should is what the docking station does best. If you are only getting one monitor to work at a time, there is troubleshooting that can be done and we would value the chance to resolve this. If interested; technical assistance can be obtained by contacting support on the casing and a specialist will be happy to help.
Regards,

Work well to your laptop up on external devices
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my laptop to hook up to dual monitors and that worked but I could never figure out how to set it up where I could close my laptop. Likely a user error but not 100% sure if it was that or this device. Otherwise, it worked for what I needed it for.

Does and doesn’t get the job done
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Doesn’t come with a power cable, so you’ll have to visit the products site for their cable or hit up amazon for one that provides ample juice. It does allow me to hook up two monitors with hdmi to give me 3 screens. Though it’s unstable and I occasionally have to plug/ unplug from laptop to get screens displaying. Some collaboration tools lose audio while plugged in. Power pass through is not great and get the warning that charging will be slow, not sure how power is allocated with so little plugged in. This was suppose to allow easy drop in for my wife or I and not require peripheral shuffling/power ply shuffling. Having to still plug in laptop power defeated that objective. Official drivers did not seem improve any of the described behaviors. So it works, just not as expected by the description. Likely another universal docking station out there that would do a better job. If you’re in a pinch and just need something in a hurry it may work for you to get by.

Posted .Hi!
I'm so sorry to hear about this! We actually do sell a powered version at Best Buy that comes with the cable, but I know how frustrating it can be to need to return like you did for the power cable which we do sell separately as well. Please contact my customer service team and we can help get you up and running without the connectivity issues. Our information is found on the back of all of our product boxes and on our website.
Thanks,

Almost didn't buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I read many reviews complaining about this unit that I ALMOST didn't get it! But I am glad I did. This unit does everything that I have asked it to do. I am using the HDMI port for an external display and love the SD and micro SD card slots! Great bonus! The only complaint that I have is that the powered USB 3.1 port is not clearly labeled. As such, I cooked an external HD. Lost a few files that I wish I could get back, but, c'est la vie!

Good Overall
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Good docking station, misleading w/o power supply
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent universal docking station. I wish the USB-C were a bit longer so the dock doesn't have to sit IMMEDIATELY next to my laptop. (-1 star) because it does not come with a power supply so I had to go back to the store to purchase that separately. So if you think the price is better than the competition it is because this does not come with the power supply

One of the most easiest docking stations
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased a dell lap top and a dell docking station and come to find out the docking station was not compatible with the laptop. The dell docking station was 350.00 and went into Best Buy and visited their geek squad who help me find a compatible docking station at was only 99.00 dollars which not only saved me money but was much more slim and less bulky of a docking station.

Very average.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It worked right out of the box with 2 screens however, I downloaded the drivers to get the 3rd screen to work as instructed for my windows PC, and the screen flickers on and off. I tried older drivers just incase there was an update that caused issues l and still the same flickering effect. Ive been to busy to troubleshoot the issue. I will updatethia review when i get a chance. (Probably in 2 months)

It serves all my needs
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was a little skeptical about buying this big docking station but i needed something that had many usb ports. Since i am a teacher. I have many different things connected at the same time so this docking port came in handy. The reason i am giving it 4 stars is because the first time i tried to connect it, it didn't work so i took it in so the geek squad could help me out. They got it to connect somehow it works great now.

Good docking station, watch out for ventilation
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Docking station works! Although I wasn’t sure if my hdmi to display port cord was working for not. But it might have been a bad cord. You have to install the driver before plugging it in. The only downside is that if your laptop vents are underneath towards the back the docking station will cover it. I have to balance my laptop on the docking station to have proper ventilation.

Posted .All 13 ports are combined into one slim docking station, so you’ll have all the connections you need to stay productive. Thank you for your review.

Excellent...
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is just what I was looking for. I wanted a all in one dock including to be able to charge my laptop. Having 2 monitors attached, Speaker plug in, USB doggles and a power cord. Now all the wires are hidden and organized. Had to buy external power supply as the Dell has a different end on the cord that doesn't match up to charge.
