- Pros mentioned:Connectivity
Okay dock, only 30 Hz output to external displays.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dock is okay with all the connectivity options, works okay with my MacBook Pro while using 2 additional displays. Sometimes it does act up and 1 of the displays does not get recognized, and leads me to restart to get it working again. Also, big downside in my opinion is the external display output is limited to only 30 Hz so a lot of tearing.

Good Dock for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid docking station so far. No issues with multi screens and plenty of ports. Definitely more bang for the buck compared to Microsoft’s suggested station which has fewer ports.

Not Compatible With HP 1035i Laptop
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately it wasn't compatible with my HP 1035i laptop. I returned it and got the J5create Dual HDMI Mini Dock USB 3.1 hub/pd 2.0 which is compatible and works great. I contacted J5create tech support and they guided me to the correct compatible item. Not sure how to check compatibility before buying. Tech support was great.

That’s my DOCk
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic Docking set up. Easy to use and install drivers, and quintessential if running multiple monitors for a laptop like I do for medical school.
I would recommend this to a friend USB Type -C Docking Station
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This docking station works very well. Only intermitted a few times buy overall a good purchase.
I would recommend this to a friendAlmost great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, this has performed as expected. I purchased this docking Station device because of all the variance of chargers and interfaces available- especially with the USB-C Triple display for multi monitor setup. This device plugged and played with Windows. If using it with Mac devices and laptops it will need the (web-based located) drivers downloaded on to it. The USB built into this device will not run the regular USB Mac SuperDrive from Apple as they are not a powered USB input.

Posted .Hi Airbr, thank you for posting your review. It is possible that the SuperDrive requires more power to power on the unit. You could try connecting your power brick to the Dock to see if it will supply more power. If you have any questions, please feel free to call in and we'll be glad to assist you. j5create.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good docking station at a great price. Shape gives a nice spot to rest laptop and has extra video port. Coworker has previous generation too-that one is 4 years old and working fine.

j5create USB C Docking Station
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great with a good 100w power supply (not included) attached. We use two 24" monitors and an array of USB peripherals and no issues. A nice feature is that it sits under the hinge on your laptop or tablet making space for some cooling air and keeping the device at a nice angle. Great product and I do recommend it.
I would recommend this to a friend Dual monitors with M1 Macbook works!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It does work as advertised as I was able to connect to 2 monitors with my 2020 Macbook M1 but it's not perfect. There is noticeable lag on both monitors and sometimes after waking from sleep, one monitor will not work, requiring me to reconnect and power cycle the monitor. This dock is significantly cheaper than alternatives and is worth it.

No multiple displays with MacBook pro
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This docking station had everything I needed to hook up my two displays. I had been looking for a dock with both an hdmi and vga output. But apparently, it does not work as intended with macbooks. It was all over j5create's website but there was no indication before purchasing. Otherwise, this would have worked well.

Posted .Hello,
We are currently working on updated drivers that will allow our devices to work with Big Sur. As of today 12/21/2020 we do not have an ETA on when the drivers are going to be released. We will have an announcement on our website when the drivers are ready. Then you will be able to install the updated drivers and get both monitors to work with your computer. Your patience is appreciated.
Thank you,

Excellent docking station
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This docking station looks like designed for 15,6" MacBookPro. It is not only a docking station, but also comfortable stand for the laptop. Sufficient number of ports. The only weak thing is the process of installing driver for external displays and their graphics. I'm glad I got it.
I would recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Power supply
It does what you want it to do at reasonable cost
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am using this with a Dell XPS laptop, tied to an Epson ET-8700 printer, a full size mechanical keyboard, and a large screen monitor. It was easy to set up and it works well. The only reason I can't give it more than three stars is that it requires tethering to a separate power cord; I would think it would be a lot more convenient if there was pass through power on this.

Posted .Jeff, in regards to the JCD543 working with your printer, monitor and mechanical keyboard; I'm glad to hear it. The 13 in 1 docking station was specifically designed to have all your needs plugged into one.
Sincerely,
j5create
A good choice of hub.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I prefer this to the type that plugs into the usb-c ports on the side of the Mac. This uses only one port, but supplies two usb-c inputs, Allows pass through charging, and has two HDMI inputs... a must for my photo work. I do like the way it rests under the laptop. This tips the keyboard slightly, which seems to make typing a bit easier on the wrists. All in all; Im pleased. Could be cheaper, but then again; everything could be.

Thanks,
