    By simply utilizing one USB port on your laptop, you can create a Dual monitor workspace in about 10 minutes. Works excellent.

    Easy setup compared to other budget options. Have been using daily in a business environment for 2 months with no issues. I've experienced wireless keyboard/mouse lag with other models in this price range but the Targus works perfectly.

    I recently purchased the Targus - USB 3.0 Docking Station. Does as is advertised. I have had no issues - the LAN, video, and USB all work very well. Speed is quite good - I haven't measured it, but I have no complaints. Installation/setup took a little time. The instructions recommended to update my tablet's drivers, which I did - no issues here. The setup asked which video chip & drivers my tablet was using - this was a bit more difficult to determine. I did some research - the video chip/driver in my tablet did not match the options the Targus installation provided, so I took my best guess and everything worked fine. I like this product - the 3 extra USB3 ports are wonderful. The external monitor (in addition to my tablet screen) is wonderful. It is great to have the Targus docking station ready to go...all I need to do is plug in the one USB3 connecting cable.

    I knew about the power when I purchased the dock. So I used another power supply. But targus does make one that also supplies power. I have it. I was setting up a new laptop for my mother in law.

    Good universal docking station. I purchased it together with a 2-1 tablet and I was able to quickly and easily set it up. I do wish it had more USB ports.

    I read some bad reviews about this docking station and bought it anyway! I'm glad I did. Yes, it was a little frustrating to get set up, but it's been performing great! I bought a 24" Monitor so I could have two screens to work from. The issue I had was that one of the lap tops I use is older and doesn't have USB3. Yes, it works! It took some doing, but I can now switch between a laptop with USB 2 and another with USB3 and they both work! Great value and I'm able to do exactly what I set out to do. Thanks for the help, Best Buy (store helped me get everything set up and working)! Great Customer Service!

    I wanted an easy way to connect my laptop to my printer, keyboard, mouse and big beautiful screen (from last desktop). The docking station works fine for all that. I would have liked at least one more port in it for speakers, USB extension (for ease), etc. It is works well for its intended purpose and didn't bust the bank. I will say I haven't figured out how to shut my laptop and keep it running on my big beautiful screen... so I use it with the laptop open and have two monitors going (laptop and big beautiful screen) at the same time for an extended display.

    I purchased this with the idea of using multiple screens with a new laptop. It is only rated for 1 screen, but if one monitor is plugged into the device, the other can be plugged into the laptop.
