This sleek little dock station is a force to be reckoned with! Three extra monitors in addition to my laptop was what I needed. So much more to this work horse! Plus when I registered the product J5 Create sent me thank you gift link that I could choose from.

I bought this to use with my laptop computer when I want to use a large screen. This was perfect for my purposes. It is sturdy, Attractive, slender and doesn’t take up much space and has all the right ports.

Work perfectly with my laptop and two screens, but it will be better if the kid includes the power troughs the dock station, so not need to use my laptop power cable.

Works great with my Lenovo Yoga. Just one cable does it all! Ive got mine hooked up to a 40" hdmi tv, wirless keyboard and mouse, and a hardwired lan cord. You use your laptops usb-C power suppy to power it but the Laptop will charge thru the dock with no problems.

The JCD543 docking station is a fantastic choice of device for those looking to add multiple monitors, read SD cards, add mice, keyboards and more. We appreciate your positive input.

Its advertised for Apple but worked on my self built pc rig and I mean every single port worked without problem. Highly recommend. Not to mention for the price you get more functionality then similar products of the same type for same or less money.

Hello Alex,
Yes, this docking station works great with Windows laptops. The ability to connect three external monitors, wired Ethernet, and additional USB ports will improve the functionality of any laptop. We are happy to hear that you were pleased with the quality and value of the j5create triple display docking station.
Have a good day,

I've purchased multiple of these units to replace Microsoft's awful Surface Dock 2 for our Microsoft Surface Pro users as well as used it on many different HP laptops. I purchase this along with the j5create 108W charger to accomplish the pass-through power function for a full docking station solution. On some of the computers, it has been critical to have the driver installed to get full functionality, but with the driver installed we run one or two external monitors and a bunch of USB-A and USB-C devices off of this with no issues. The MS Surface Dock 2 constantly "forgets" how to configure multiple monitors and has to be plugged and unplugged constantly to get it back to working after re-docking or the computer going to sleep. With this j5create dock, we have none of those issues. I'm here today to buy another one for my home office so that the whole family can use the multiple monitor setup in our home office with their own laptops now that everyone has USB-C 3.0 devices. The aesthetics of the device are good enough, could be nicer looking and feels a little "cheap" but it works so well, I'm willing to overlook this. It's not ugly by any means and it actually looks good under some of the HP laptops with a similar color finish. The HP's have no issues sitting on top of the dock as intended. For the Surface computers, you can place the kickstand directly onto it which hides most of the device. With just the single USB cable connecting to the laptop USB-C port for both connection and charging, it's a breeze to come and go as needed. For anyone struggling with the Surface Dock 2 multiple monitor issues, this is a great solution for half the price. For everyone else just looking for a good docking station setup, get this and the j5create 108W USB-C Super Charger and you'll have a great docking station setup. Of course, make sure your computer supports charging from the same USB-C connection or you will be disappointed in my recommendation.

I guess the unit is OK, however the instructions that go with it are really brief, and do not tell you much other than how to get it going. No information on which slots are used for what. Plus, and I don't know if this is due to the docking station, but the screen which I bought at the same time does not wake up from its sleep when one moves the mouse around. It did for a short while, but no longer. So I have to open the accompanying laptop, and then the screen wakes up. Not too impressed....

This docking station has allowed my laptop to utilize 3 additional monitors, additional USB resources and i cant even see it as it tucks behind my laptop. I would definitely recommend this product.
Customer Posted
The product works well. I haven't had a problem with any of the ports not working. It stays firmly plugged in. It's a little clunky to work with. I worry about breaking it when I open it to get out the cord. I'm not sure how to position my device in/against it while I use it.

To support all of your USB peripherals, a Gigabit Ethernet port, SD/microSD card slots and a combo audio jack. Thank you for your review.

We have 5 of these! I have one in my home office as well as one in my work office, one in my wife's work office, and for two of my employees who use laptops. They work great! Two things to be aware of. First, get a USB-C charger if you don't have one already. Plugging that into the USB-C port on the back will allow the USB-C cord coming out of the dock to provide power to your laptop. Second, if you have times when one or more of your screens stops working that's connected to the dock, unplug the cord from your laptop, then unplug the USB-C power cord from the back, then plug them back in. Typically corrects the issue. That's something that happens to me once or twice a week, but isn't a big deal to resolve.

Hello, thank you for your feedback. We will pass it on to our R&D team. The power-in port (USB-C) can pass-through charge with your power-brick 65W or higher with a USB-C connection or the JUP2290 will work also. Thank you and enjoy your new Docking Station. Cheers.

This was my first experience and truly I had no idea what I needed to purchase for the home set up to connect my work laptop. Thanks goodness for the multiple people that were helping me that night. This one was on sale, but was the best they had in stock for what I needed. I needed to make a double monitor workstation for my laptop. I got feedback from my IT work staff where we have ALL Dell products. I took my work computer into the store and the staff helped set me up with everything. With that being said, it is consistently locking up throughout my workday. I am still giving this 5 stars because it was a lifesaver and I believe it’s more of my internet provider causing the issues than this item. I have HDMI running for both monitors. I did not require a power source, so if you need that capability, this item will not work for you. Happy Shopping!

Works wonderfully i love it..handles 2 monitors wireless keyboard and other things as welll

Purchased it to solve for a need for two monitors for work. However, it doesn't work via VM connection (I use Horizon Omnissa Client) on a Dell laptop. There was a USB port driver error I couldn't resolve and I couldn't get the displays to work despite having the correct drivers installed for them. I did have a 100 watt USB C power supply and my laptop does have the power display USB C port. When you search for solutions, you can't find any regarding connecting to a VM. Had to return it and found a Targus that works.

Virtual desktop environments like Horizon/Omnissa can sometimes restrict external display functionality or driver communication, which may cause the type of issue you described.

Worked easily right away. My company sent me a $400 docking station but this one works circles around it. Easy setup....it just wirks right away. I used 3 screens with the laptop with an ergonomic keyboard and mouse.

Thank you for your review and 5 star rating. Enjoy your new Docking Station.

It's real great when you don't have enough ports on your computer.
Centennialman Posted
This docking station is exactly what I was searching for. I have several monitors and devices that all needed to be set up to run through my main computer. This docking station has enough ports for everything, was easy to set up and is working fine.

Addressing the customer's needs is what the JCD543 does best; with it's various ports, capabilities; this device is a one of a kind on the market and we are excited to hear it.
Cordially,

Great product. I did have to repurchase this item after 4 years because it started failing.
