Very nice unit
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great with my Dell XPS. I hate the fact laptops are having less and less ports. This answers that problem well. Maximizes desk space and cooling with the angled profile to sit under the laptop.

Such a simple request
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only one monitor was working after installing J5 program. I began a chat with J5 cust service. After 25 minutes, they told me that I should return it because this product is not for older model Macbooks.

item works great - hdmi is great too
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.because apple refuses to put ports on their macbooks, this docking station is definitely needed. i used to use the ones where you plug into the side but it looked awkward hanging off. having this dock station lets me rest the laptop on top and nobody seems to notice. all the ports work and the hdmi out to my tv works great

Posted .Providing more monitors to one's Mac is what the JCD543 does best, providing the user with additional ports for peripherals, SD card readers, Ethernet and more is a feature of this device on top of resting your laptop on top of it. We're excited to hear it is meeting your needs!
Appreciatively,

Some key things you should know...
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For starters... it has 3 display output PORTS, but you can only use a max of two of them at once. And MacOS does not support DisplayPort daisy-chaining, so the max number of displays you can drive on a Mac with this dock is 2. Second, this requires a driver to be installed. The displayport worked and it's paired HDMI port seemed to work without the driver on a Mac, but the other HDMI port did not. The driver also requires some strange permissions on Mac, which makes it feel like a fragile implementation which can break whenever Apple decides to fundamentally change things (which is very likely). Finally, even with the driver installed, macOS did not recognize the audio out, even with something plugged into it. This is a bummer. With those things in mind, everything else seems to work well, and this dock demonstrates what the power and versatility of USB-C can be, and is almost perfect. We just need to get back to the idea of plug-and-play, and cooperating with well-established standards.

Posted .Hello,
Thank you for choosing the j5create triple display docking station. I would like to clear up some misconceptions that you may have. The docking station will support three external displays. You will need to use the VGA port, the lone HDMI port, and then either the display port or the other HDMI port that are marked ‘Or’. Your issue with the audio Jack may be related to the driver installation you may want to contact the j5create customer support team for assistance. Our contact information can be found on our website under the support dropdown. I hope you give us the opportunity to get your docking station up and running.
Thank you,
The j5create team

Requires Download of a Driver - Admin Privileges
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was not able to use the docking station because it requires the download of a driver. I work from home and wanted to use this on my work computer but I cannot install the driver because i don't have admin privileges. Typically, companies do not allow employees to install any kind of software for security reasons. I didn't see this requirement mentioned in the description so purchasers be aware and J5Create, please add it to the description for clarity (apologies if I missed it). I did see a question answered saying that the driver is only needed for the two additional monitors so this will work for one monitor. One other thing, this is not a docking station that you click your laptop in and out of like the old ones. This is basically just an extension cord with more ports and you will have to unplug it to take your laptop to another location.

It works, mostly.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this for work, as one probably will, I recommend getting the drivers for it first, then plugging it in to whatever laptop you plan on using, trying to use it without the drivers definitely neuters its functionality.

Good overall value

Docking Station
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very functional docking station. I can plug in most of my devices and because of its smart size, it is not really visible on my desk. All the slots are working and I am glad I choose it to make my ebook versatile but either connecting it to my monitor setup displays or using it alone.

great dock for every possible monitor setup
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a super-handy dock that allows all of our USB-c machines to connect to every monitor you could possibly have at home. And the stand like configuration really helps keep enough air running under the laptop to deal with heat issues. Nice product at a good price.
