Pros

This is the only one i recall offering the extra usb-c to hdmi adapter. The box only has one hdmi port, but comes with a usb 3 to hdmi cable.

This device just works. You pug it in and it works. Be smarter than me and just buy this one first. This thing is the bomb dot com.

I have every port on this hub connected with only one the analog audio. I like that it has all the ports i could need without needing additional dongles. It has a sleek design, and the ports all seem to work.

Out of the box charging frees up your laptop charger completely, no need to connect the laptop charger to the docking station or the laptop. Easily charges my hp 15 spectre via usb-c thunderbolt. All you need is a usb-c cable to your laptop and you ar... Read More

Based on kensington's website, i wouldn't be surprised if future price is $300.

But, it could have been an extra cost.

Packaging/appearance

Fantastic product right out of the box.

The design is nice, though personally i'd rather the audio port on the side/back.

Competitiveness

It worked perfectly first time hooked up, on a 2016 macbook pro.

I’m running a 2018 macbook pro and no issues.

(when i tried to select 144hz on one display, the other goes down to 100hz.

- nice lookingcons:- kensington has absolutely terrible customer service.
