Pros & Cons
Pros
The top thing i like about this port station is the simple setup. The side usb port is really useful to keep a 2-factor token plugged in.
Cons
The real downfall of this dock is that it utilises displaylink. You need to * multiple cables multiple times to get it working. I was tasked with downloading drivers for my macbook pro to no avail.

Packaging/appearance
You probably won’t pack this for the road, but it is a nice way to turn a laptop into a true workstation.
Competitiveness
It works equally well with my work laptop (microsoft surface laptop), home laptop (hp spectre) and my macbook pro.
I wanted to make sure because this dock is expensive compared to others and i had already tried a few that didn't work for me.
You can save a few bucks and go with another brand, but of you want a true plug-and-play docking station spend the money and buy this one.

Sometimes i do have to unplug the power for a second and plug it back in to get all of the monitors working after switching it between two laptops

But i am ok with that considering my past docks had issues with turning off random usb ports if too many were plugged in
