Posted .Due to it's unique design and different capabilities, the docking station makes an attractive option, the ability to rest your laptop while in use, saving you space while working, makes this next to none on the market.

Extremely convenient
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very convenient to have one plug for all the connections on my desk. I have this running dual 24" monitors as well as an external keyboard\mouse, speakers, ethernet and power. I really like that I can support 3 monitors at once.
I would recommend this to a friend OK but could be better
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great when it does, but I have 2 monitors hooked up to this device. Sometimes, it will lose connection to one of my monitors in the middle of my workday and I have to unplug EVERYTHING and reconnect in order for it to connect again. The cord to plug in to the monitor is VERY VERY short.

Good Budget Dock for a Surface pro 9
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for something a little more budget friendly for my Surface Pro 9 than the MS Dock and got the J5create. It works just fine for me. I use every port and one HDMI and feed it with a DELL 120 W power supply and so it handles powering my surface as well. the The gigabyte ethernet port works well but I have a 5 Gig optical so I run a separate 2.5 Gb interface on one of the USB 3 ports to give me better throughput. Once or twice it has dropped its connection but I suspect it has to do with the Surface.

Frustrated
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice concept however... While researching this product it stated in the description that it is compatible with the newest models of MacBook Pro. I purchased one, brought it home and attempted to download the necessary driver. At this point it was revealed that the driver is not compatible with a MacBook Pro with Apple’s new M1 chip. So I basically have a larger than necessary USB port and Ethernet jack surrounded by a couple of useless HDMI ports. This compatibility issue should be clearly explained in the product description.

Posted .Hi Voodude, unfortunately, the drivers for the JCD543 will not be compatible with M1 computers so the HDMI,VGA and Mic will not will. The other ports including the HDMI or DP are PnP., no drivers needed and will be compatible. If you have any questions, our contact information can be located on the packaging or our website. We apologize for the inconvenience. Sincerely, j5create.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Need a docking station for my new computer, and accessories. This product was the only one on the market that I found, that offered all the combinations and # of ports of each type to suit me and anyone who has a variety of accessories. Highly Recommend.

Good dock for the price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this because the one we purchased from Amazon which was much more expensive (different brand) kept causing windows to crash. We picked up this one, and right out of the box, it was easy to hook up and easy to get up and running quickly. Would buy this again!

Posted .Hello Doug,
I hope that you were able to return that other docking station. The JCD543 will give you a wide array of ports including the ability to connect up to three external monitors. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Great accessory
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great with my new HP laptop. Bought it mainly so I can use the USB C to have 2 displays and it works perfectly. It also raises the laptop off the desk and helps keep it cooler, which was a nice surprise.
I would recommend this to a friend So handy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My daughter (the techie Media Specialist) set my new computer system up for me. Because, you know “coved”. She knew exactly what would work to overcome my frustration with my previous limited system. This docking system allows me to have my computer, extra large screen, wireless keyboard and any other device I might use like a back-up device.

Display dock
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Didn't work as expected. Was told afterwards most laptops cannot run three monitors. Not sure if this would be useful for only desktops but Best Buy said it should have worked.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Most computers can run up to 3 display's. However, the USB-C Triple Display Docking Station requires a computer to support DisplayPort Alt Mode for video out via HDMI or DP port and USB Power Delivery 2.0 or 3.0. Please refer to the manufacturer of your hardware for more information on your device. The VGA and stand alone HDMI port requires an installation of a driver for functionality. Drivers are available on j5create website under the "Support" tab > "Downloads/Drivers" page. ** Feel free to contact j5create Technical Support if you require further assistance. Their information can be found on our website under the "Support" tab. Thank you.

Amazing docking station
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolute love this docking station. Mines went out that my company sent and so I purchased this one. Definitely recommend.

Not worth the money.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Didn’t have the power to run my external hard drive. With all the possible connections you can make with this you would think it would be strong enough to power an external hard drive. Customer service said it wasn’t meant for that.

Posted .Hi Joel, thank you for your feedback on our Dock Station and we're sorry to hear the HDD didn't work on our device. The reason mechanical HDDs consume more power is that it still needs to spin the discs/platters even when it is not actively reading or writing data. It's always best to connect it directly to a computer. Sincerely, j5create.
