This dock was provided to me by 4URPC to test/evaluate it. I am typically offered new products by 4URPC to evaluate and test for them. I purchase the dock and then they reimburse me. Please know that I am reimbursed prior to writing any reviews and my reviews are 100% honest. I also provide feedback to 4URPC. For this dock I will start by stating the design is very similar to other models. My evaluation is solely based upon my use with an HP ZBook Firefly 14 inch G8 Mobile Workstation running Windows 10 22H2. I have been using it almost daily for 8 + hours a day for ~ 8 weeks now. At first I had some issues with the built in NIC registering a connection. I am not sure what caused this, maybe a driver needed to be updated, but after about 60 seconds it started working and I havent had an issue since. I did let 4URPC know and they recommended I send an email to their support team. However, I never did since I havent had an issue since. I have noticed that sometimes after disconnecting my laptop and then later reconnecting my laptop will not detect the dock. All drivers and OS are up to date. To resolve the issue, I find disconnecting the laptop from the dock, disconnecting the dock from power let the dock sit for ~ 5 seconds, reattach power cable to dock and then attach laptop back to dock, it then detects it. This happens from time to time on all docks from my experience to I am not too concerned about this. My one recommendation I made 4URPC was to include the power supply with the dock like they do with other models. I dont like having to go out and purchase a power supply matching it up, etc. It isnt a big deal but I would prefer that they just provide a complete setup. They stated they would let their engineers know. Other than that I have no complaints. The unit works as expected and I have always liked the design of this type of dock as it gets my laptop up our of the way giving me some desk space back. I do recommend this dock model for at least use with pc laptops.

The concept is great. I have a hybrid laptop so I can stand it up in open position or fold over edges if I still want to use the laptop screen. I did not realize a power supply did not come with it but I had one for it. The ports are just enough to supply everything I need. Great product.

I recently tried out the HU104D Docking Station, a unique USB-C docking station designed to offer a range of connectivity options while providing a convenient storage solution for your closed laptop. This innovative docking station has an interesting design and a variety of features that I found useful. Design and Build Quality: The HU104D Docking Station features a distinctive design with two open walls that stand up, allowing you to slide your closed laptop inside for safe storage. This design choice not only saves desk space but also keeps your workspace organized. Although the docking station isnt as portable as some other options on the market, its build quality is solid and it stays securely in place on your desk. Connectivity: The docking station supports two additional monitors through its HDMI and DisplayPort outputs, which can display 1080p resolution at 60Hz. I connected my two monitors without any issues, and the image quality was crisp and clear. The HU104D also has three USB ports, which is a decent number for most users. These ports came in handy for connecting peripherals such as a keyboard, mouse, and external hard drive. Additionally, the RJ45 Ethernet port allowed me to connect directly to my router, ensuring a stable and fast internet connection. The inclusion of a 3.5mm audio port is a nice touch, as it allowed me to use my wired headphones for video calls and multimedia consumption. Laptop Storage: The unique design of the HU104D Docking Station allows you to store your closed laptop inside the dock itself. This feature is perfect for those who use external monitors and want to keep their laptops out of sight while not in use. I found this feature to be very practical and space-saving. No Power Supply Included: One downside of the HU104D Docking Station is that it does not come with a power supply. This might be an issue for some users, especially if their laptops dont provide enough power through the USB-C port. However, I didnt face any problems during my usage, as my laptop provided sufficient power to the docking station. Overall Impression: The HU104D Docking Station offers a unique solution for those looking to expand their connectivity options while providing a practical storage solution for their laptops. Despite the lack of a power supply, it delivers a smooth multi-monitor experience and a range of useful ports. If youre in the market for a reliable and innovative USB-C docking station, the HU104D is worth considering.
