Pros & Cons

Update Pros and 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.

Buyer beware. Sent back as defective. Not a very good experience.

Quality


Nice materials, smooth finish, no warps, sits level, no dents or gaps around the edges.

Price


Which wasn't a big deal, i just plugged that in elsewhere.


For the money, there should be like 5 as and 3 or 4 cs.

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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

    Windows 10 didnt automatically install the drivers needed to use the display port outputs
