I didn’t expect much from this docking station but it has held up well on a Lenovo Yoga laptop. The usb charges the laptop which I read some reviews that it wouldn’t. The only thing that was frustrating is it didn’t come with a power supply. Other than that it’s working as it should be.

Easy to install. Still running good. No issues so far.

The first one I bought had a glitch and randomly disconnected the 2nd monitor. After speaking with tech support I exchanged it and now the new one works great. I use my surface pro and connect 2 monitors to the docking station along with wireless mouse and keyboard.

I bought this as it was supposed to be universal and work with the multiple different laptop brands we have (2-HPs, 1-Asus, 1-Dell) and allow me to connect two external monitors without having connectivity issues. However, it's total crap and doesn't work. Don't waste your money and stay away from it. I've tried multiple different cords as well as uninstalling and reinstalling the software and yet I only get one monitor at any given time so I'm still connecting one monitor directly to my laptop which is annoying hence the reason I wanted the docking station. I even purchased the J5 power cord for it thinking maybe it was power related but now I'm just out even more money.. I highly suggest not purchasing this docking station period, especially if you're intending to have more than one external display.

This is a God send. It allows me to connect multiple monitors to my laptop. It has plenty of ports that support a lot of devices...can support 3 monitors and a vga port. USB 2.o and 3.1. Don't have an ether etc port on your device... it does... convert any phone and use like a laptop...

Very good product at affordable price Worth it. .

This was recommended to me by a salesperson at the store and i definitely love the outcome and it makes it so much easier to connect my device and accessories to my MacBook.

I purchased this so my wife can hook up multiple USB devices and monitors to her USB-C laptop. It works extremely well and even supports power pass-through (not all the docks do) so it can charge her laptop without having to use her normal power adapter. This truly is one cable to rule them all!

So far works great for my minimalist needs! I would recommend to others.

Absolute love this docking station. Mines went out that my company sent and so I purchased this one. Definitely recommend.

Exactly what i needed for a great price. I shopped online and this was the best option for my needs.

Does everything I need it to do. I’ve had zero issues with it.

Quickly enabled easy connections to multiple peripherals now easily connected / disconnected with a single USB-C cord. Only drawback is would have liked the optional power supply version but currently backordered. Plan to upgrade in future.

Very convenient. Easy to install. Like it shows in the picture, it stays at the base of the lap top and doesn't take extra space or create clutter. Its working just fine and so many things are hooked up to this.

It definitely gets the job done. Only complaint I have is that I can not use my laptop as a third screen nor can I completely close my laptop.

Working from home and remotely I need multiple monitors. This product makes it easy to plug in multiple monitors and operate when I travel or when I'm at home.

I used this for my dual monitor setup for work. It was beyond my expectations for sure. Convenient and easy to use. Makes my display on my desk look sleek and clean

Hello, The J5create model I bought from Best Buy was JCD543 . The quality of the construction looks very good. It has a nice quality feel. The cord could be longer but it was ok. I planned to use it as a dock station for my new Dell g7 17 7790. Its a gaming laptop with an I7 processor 9th gen Intel 16gb of ram an SSD and a sata hard drive. When home I wanted not have to reconnect the peripherals. I wanted to use it as a docking station with my Sandisk thumbdrives , my Easystore Wd drive,my 4k monitor. I liked the idea of being able to leave my headset plugged in on the home setup. I use different pieces of equipment when I travel. The one cord idea was great. Here's what I ran in to.out of the box after I installing the driver j5create-19.02.1018.3179. I could not get any of my Easystore drives to power up. All the usb 3.0 Gen 1 5mbs worked with my Sandisk thumbdrives but none had any power to run a SSD or Easystore drive. The sd microcard reader worked fine.The combined audio and Mic jacks worked just fine. The case makes an ideal stand for the laptop tilting the keyboard and giving more cooling air access. Their website implies to use the power usb you need the external power supply. They say you can use you own or theirs. I sent an email to customer support from the support page explaining my problem and asked to supply me with the ordering information for the power supply. No response was ever acknowledged or responded to. A few days latter I live chatted and told my problem to the person. It was suggested I should have bought the JCD543P. It had a power supply that came with it and they do not sell it separately. They suggested I return this unit and purchase directly from them. The problem for me was my Best Buy return time had passed. Looking on the Best Buy site I found people that bought the j5create JCD543 also bought the Platinum 95watt power supply. As fate would have it I received a request to review the JCD453 the same day. I bought the power supply. Upon connecting the Platinum power 95w to the plugged in JCD543 I received the message “ You have attached a power adapter to a port that does not accept power”. Looking on the web this just meant that this unit would not power my laptop. This was ok. I just wanted it to power my J5Create jcd543 USB 3.o gen 1 power jack and be able to charge my Samsung phone off the USB power jack or run my SSD portable or Easystore hard drives on the J5Create dock. I tried and to no avail. None of my SSD portables or Western digital Easystore drives functioned. My Samsung phone did not see any power either. On a good point the display worked without the power adapter. I assume the other video adapters work too. The Ethernet did too.I did not check Mac address forwarding on it though. It was now obvious to me the live chat person did not know what they were talking about. What they would have sold me probably would not have worked either. My brother tried this and the power supply on his Mac and it worked without problems. I would suggest if you have a Windows PC check it out before you buy it. Find people on the web that have the same PC as you and weigh their responses before buying. It will save you heartaches trying to get it working. If you have a Mac it really can make your life easier. I'm contemplating giving this to my brother.

I was hoping it was easier to set up, however, I was not clear that the adapter could only be used for the laptop. I had to purchase a second adapter, but once done then it worked as expected. A little overkill for a 3 monitor set up and next time will buy their other model.

So, after of some time having this, I like that is compact, simple and has a lot of ports but, the HDMI outputs, just wont give that nice resolution you are looking for. After some time, your monitor will start to blink, a one or couple of times a day. Every once in a couple of months, it will loose connectivity and your laptop will not detect it so, you're going to loose your second monitor settings and will have to arrange everything again. Overall, if you are just looking for something to watch viceos, Netflix or browse the internet on a bigger external monitor, this is for you. If you are more into photography, designingor gamming, you need to invest more money on something more professional. And this isn't cheap.
