Pros & Cons
Pros
It drives three monitors without lag at 4k high resolution. It runs a little hotter than i would like, however, given it's driving 3 displays it expected. So far it has proved to be reliable and dependable for what i need. I run three monitors (4k tv'... Read More
It's more expensive than others yes, but i really think it's a superior product and worth the extra spend. Amazing piece of tech. Would highly recommend this product and their support staff.
Additional usb ports (a and c) are convenient for webcam (logitech brio) and keyboard.
Build quality is very good. Smooth finish, no warps, sits level, no dents or gaps around the edges. Works as intended once you work out those software kinks.
Cons
The real downfall of this dock is that it utilises displaylink. I was tasked with downloading drivers for my macbook pro to no avail. Even though the audio mixer says the audio is through the dock, nothing happens.
Buyer beware. Sent back as defective. Not a very good experience.
Highlights
Quality
Nice materials, smooth finish, no warps, sits level, no dents or gaps around the edges.
This is truly professional equipment and i sense a lot of pride goes into the assembly and delivery of excellent engineering.
I could not get it to work through settings and manually selecting the sound card, only replugging the two jacks seemed to work.
0 usb ports on the back for fast transfer, two type c, and one 3.
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.
Although @ $300 this is on the high end and pricy, i decide to give it a try.
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.
