    Not a plug and play VGA.

    Not a simple plug and play for VGA & Surface Pro. Tech support assisted promptly; it was not a one step fix. Would have gone with something else had I known the ridiculousness. Once you get the download and the update installed, the VGA will never turn off; you have to disable your ghost 3rd monitor.

    Overall it is a good product. I wanted 3 screens and the only way to do that is to use vga. Took me a while to figure that out but im a little bummed out on the quality of my 3rd moniter. Other than that it does what it said it would do.

      Hi,
      It’s great to hear that you love the docking station. There are a lot of ports included; 3 video outputs, 4 USB, an audio jack, and more! This dock is even designed for a laptop to be placed on it, so it will take up barely any space on a desktop.
      Thank you,

    I still haven't used this amazing docking station to its full potential, however I brought it up to Michigan with me at Christmas not knowing I would absolutely need it to help my mom out on her PC. It was a lifesaver.

    I wasn't able to get it to work with my monitor using a VGA to HDMI cable so I ended up returning it. Otherwise, it seemed to work fine connecting everything else through the USB ports.

      We recommend using VGA to VGA, HDMI to HDMI, DP to DP cables. No conversion cables or adapter converters, we cannot guarantee functionality. j5create

    Bought this for my Macbook Pro. Couldn't ask for a better docking station. My only wish was that there were a couple more USB ports and maybe one more HDMI port.

    Displayport Alt Mode required

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

    I thought this would be a great addition and would allow me to connect a single cable. Unfortunately if your computer doesn't support Displayport Alt mode on USB-C it will not allow for multiple monitors. I would think this would be called out clearly as a system requirement. i contacted J5Create for support and this was the first line in theri response. Then they told me I had to contact my computer manufacturer. Turns out very few laptops have this capability and many of the laptops sold by Best Buy do not. So buyer beware!

    It would be nice if the unit had a separate power supply. If you use a sufficient number of ports, the docking station gets quite hot and may rob power for the ports from the MBP. It may need less ports to keep it cooler.

    Frequent issues with intermittent connectivity and recently started to crap out. Now, it won't connect or turn on. Have tried a few laptops. Have contacted J5 support to request a replacement. To say this has been a disappointing dock would be an understatement. The USB 3.0 cord to connect to a PC is very short. The quality of the connection is poor. The best and only good thing about this dock was ability to connect multiple displays.

      Ensure that the docking station is receiving power. Check the power adapter and make sure it is functioning correctly. Try using a different power outlet or a different power adapter if available. Ensure that the USB ports on your laptop or PC are functioning properly. Try connecting the docking station to different USB ports to rule out issues with a specific port. Verify that you have the latest drivers, software, BIOS, etc. installed for your computer. Visit the official website of your manufacturer to download and install any available updates. j5create
