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.

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.

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.

I was looking for a docking station for my new laptop because I prefer to use a stand alone key board and mouse on a daily basis with a bigger screen, this works perfectly for all but the screen. This particular model will allow a second screen but I have to keep the lap top open to use it. So I use an external keyboard and mouse and the laptop screen. I'm also able to physically connect tot he internet and a printer when the WiFi is slow

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.

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.

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.

I didn't understand how this type of docking station would work, I know duh right, but it is so easy. It gives me all the ports I need. You just have to plug into your laptop and then start adding usb ports or ethernet, and a couple I don't use. Since the Yoga I got didn't have enough ports for me this docking station was a no-brainer for me.

Overkill for what we needed us use it for. Sales person felt it would be needed.

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.

Easy to use and hooked up 2 external monitors with my lap top. Great product for the price

Using with new M1 Apple Laptop. You must find the experimental drivers on the company’s website. It does work but it’s a bit buggy- you have to unplug/plug it in if computer goes to sleep or is restarted. I hope with a newer driver release it will work better. Honestly my expectation at this point is for things to be plug and play and this is not.

I bought a second one and my friends also bought the same because of my recommendation, very convenient and easy to use, does not require power outlet, feeds directly from your device.

Being able to plug in and use multiple devices is great. Sleek and hides very easy. Being able to see on a bigger monitor makesnworking easier.

While it can be called a docking station, it is not well designed and does not have any way to secure it to a post, desk, or other surface that would enable you to stabilize it and get full advantage of the many plug-in sites. Also, I think it would be better if there was an upgrade to Avid Power so that you could be sure that you could adequately support all of the docks and the docking places that it has.

I keep this one permanently on my desktop. Works well and let's me keep 2 monitors at once and all external ssds plugin when I'm at home. Only 1 cable to the laptop and its up and running and charging!

I enjoy this item use it everyday for my monitor other than it cutting out it’s pretty good lets me multi task with work and play at the same time would recommend

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.

This was perfect accessory for the laptop I purchased

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.
