Pros & Cons
Pros
The sd4780p can deliver more charge to the laptop while it's in use. It has two hdmi adapters that i didn't know i needed. This dock is reliable for multiple monitors on my macbook. It enables me to connect my m2 macbook air to 2 37 4k monitors.
Worked flawlessly. Everything works and it connects quickly. Works perfectly and as advertised!
Cons
This dock is not a thunderbolt dock. The cord they give you is very short. It's ugly, but not nearly as frustrating as this dock.
The nic/ethernet, my wireless keyboard/mouse with usb a all work fine, just no video as claimed. There is input lag in the video which makes it unusable for gaming and extremely frustrating for office use. I have switched to using a small microsoft tr... Read More
Highlights
Quality
This is a really solid dock overall and powers two qhd monitors over hdmi at 60hz no issue with my macbook air m1.
It can charge laptops that are powered by type c connections while transferring all that video and usb data which i find really impressive
From surface book 2 15" system to dell laptops, all charging on the single usb-c connections.
I could never get 2 hdmi displays working at once and the ethernet also overheated the device (in the middle of a call with my boss).
Price
Bought a used one to save money on amazon.
Packaging/appearance
It came in bubble wrap, along with a well used power supply and an aftermarket usb-c cable.
Competitiveness
It supports mojave, catalina, and even big sur as of today.
This docking station was purchased as an alternative to an hp thunderbolt dock that had 4 outputs that could only use 3 at a time.
I recently purchased the apple macbook pro with the m1 chip, and the sd5200t does not work with that chip.
We have tried docking stations from all different manufacturers including dell, diamond, microsoft, and many others.

Dock works with m1 and m2 chipset macbooks
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Certainly wont blame the manufacturer as im grateful that it works but it requires additional 3rd party displaylink software to be installed in order to make monitor 3 and 4 work
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It works fine other than a little crash or two requiring some manual intervention
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
My issue is that 3rd party software introduces additional risk so that has to be accounted for
