    Great for docking laptop

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Easy setup/connections, just wish the USB C cable that attaches to the laptop was a little longer (for when I need to move my laptop closer to me and open it.) I haven't unplugged it in a while because usually when I go to plug it back in, my laptop doesn't remember my setup and sometimes won't display properly but that is probably an issue with the laptop, not the docking station. I have 3 monitors, a printer and speaker system connected to it.

    Not Compatible With HP Omen 15

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have an HP Omen 15 from like 2021/2-ish. I recently needed a docking station for it and happened to be at my local store looking at all of the different options. This one seemed to be the best one and nothing on the box stated that it would not be compatible with my device. It wasn't until I had gone through about an hour of setup, troubleshooting, and research that I found out that this item would not be compatible with my laptop. J5Create needs to be a lot more clear in their product descriptions, Quick Start guides, and website to show what devices will and won't be compatible with this item. So disappointed. I will have to return this item and I will not be trusting this brand until they clear up this issue. Shame on you J5.

      The USB-C Triple Display Docking Station requires that your HP Omen 15 supports an available USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode and USB Power Delivery 2.0 or 3.0.Please refer to the manufacturer of your hardware for more information on your device

      The Docking Station will also require an installation of a driver for the HDMI, VGA and Mic for proper functionality.. j5create

    It does an exceptional job on one of my three MacBook Pros. I tried on one to no avail, then a second where it performed as expected, and finally on a third where it failed.I run MacBooks in three different rooms. I wanted to try this out before buying two additional docking stations. I did not buy more of these.

      I deeply regret to hear about the experience you had with the JCD543. Because the dock requires DP alt mode/Thunderbolt 3 capabilities for full functionality, you may not obtain the full potential of the station. In order to troubleshoot and ensure you can take advantage of the dock, please reach out to support and an agent will be more than happy to look up the specs of your computer and determine compatibility. If needed, we will make recommendations for other models that will work for you.
      Respectfully,

    This station is exactly what I needed! I purchased another one a few months ago that worked fine till one of my monitors displayed a pink background, the dual adaptors I purchased didn’t work either. I took a chance with this one. I did have to download drivers for it to work with my MacBook though.

    This works great that I can use multiple monitors for an expended desktop. This definitely helps with running multiple programs and have files open and visible all at the same time. This also gives me extra USB ports.

    I bought this for a new MacBook M1 Pro. I w aged to use 2 monitors. It would go work and then stop supporting both monitors. I determined the driver for the product was not updated for the M1Pro chip so I returned it. It’s probably a decent device, just needs to be updated for the newest systems to work properly.

      The HDMI or DP ports are PnP, no driver required. The HDMI and VGA, requires a driver. Please uninstall and reinstall the drivers without the Dock connected. Text with another video cable. ** Feel free to contact j5create Technical Support if you require further assistance. j5create

    We bought this docking station based on a Best Buy associate’s recommendation. We’re really happy with it. The only hesitation we have is that we don’t know if it’s the docking station or if something is defective in our new laptop because the USB port the docking station was connected into became defective and is not recognizing at of the connections after almost a month’s worth of use. We’ve exchanged the docking station for a new one exactly the same. Time will tell.

    Stop carrying these until properly supported

    Best Buy- Why are you still carrying and promoting J5 products when they don't work???? I've spent $200 the last month on multiple J5 docks for my 2019 Macbook Pro at the suggestion of your in-store sales people. NONE of them work properly with Big Sur. Call J5 support and they tell you they'll put you on a mailing list for when their developers get around to it. Called them this morning and their response is "roll back to Catalina and it will work". If you're going to continue selling product that doesn't work as promised at least put a disclaimer on it stating "does not work with current operating platforms". Stop wasting your customer's time and money selling product that doesn't work as advertised. Third trip to the store and multiple support phone calls with Total Tech support and I just ended up buying two Type C to HDMI connectors so I have something reliable. I'm not asking for out-of-the-box solutions. I just want to connect 2 monitors to a Mac....

      Hello,
      We regret to hear your frustration with the docking station. The Big Sur operating system is significantly different than previous versions of MacOS and new drivers need to be created from the ground up. Our developers are actively working on the updated drivers. There will be a notice on the j5create website once the drivers are released. As our customer support agent mentioned the JCD543 is still compatible with MacOS 10.8 to 10.15 and Windows 10. We appreciate your patience.
      Thank you,

    This gadget has every possible connection you might ever need.

Time and effort saver not having to unplug and re-plug all those accessories over and over.
