I was using a Lenovo USB 3.0 Dock for the last three years, but the two USB 3.0 front ports began failing. After shopping around the StarTech USB 3.0 was just what I needed to attach my VGA monitor (1680 x 1050), external backup drive, Ethernet, phone, and Logitech USB headphones with mic. Since the StarTech uses DisplayLink technology just as the older Lenovo, the software driver was the same. Pros: * The device was fully complete in the box with various power plugs and DVI to HDMI and a DVI to VGA converters. * It's well constructed, and I prefer the Aluminum housing and stand over the plastic construction of the older USB 3.0 Dock from Lenovo. * I opted for regular ground shipping, and since it left a warehouse in central PA, I had it in my hands the very next day in NJ at no extra charge. * Another nice feature is the USB 3.0 ports supply power. That's handy. * It was on sale in December 2016 which made it a great deal. Cons: Can't find any. It worked the first time I hooked it all up. I did have to hit the Auto Video Adjust on the monitor to sync it with the new hardware and eliminate a flicker.

I use this on my Windows laptop and MacBook Pro. Just get the drivers installed and you’re off and running. The only downside side are the connectors. I had to get a specific DVI adapter so that I could use HDMI to DVI because my monitors only have DIsplayPort and VGA. Connectors or the dock are DVI to HDMI and VGA. Other than that, it works seemlessly.

Nice docking station and has enough ports for various devices which allows for charging phones running an hdmi cable to a monitor, etc. Works as intended!
