USB C HUB Docking Station Dual Monitor, 12 in 1 Triple Display Thunderbolt 3 USB C,HDMI 4K,VGA,3.5Audio,Ethernet,USB-C,SD/TF,Compatible for Dell/Surface/HP/Lenovo Laptops.

This is a nice docking station that you can connect multiple devices to your Surface or MacBook. I only gave 3 stars to features because I dont understand Camera Quality / Tech Support / Screen Quality criteria that I am suppose to rate? None of these are actual features of the product?

I have been using USB docking stations for years. This one seems to be the fastest ever. I had to replace my prior one when some of the ports seemed to be acting up. It was an early, regular USB 3 to 3 USB, 2 HDMI, card reader. I never used the card reader. This one has a lot more features and speed. The USB C connection seems faster, it allows for gigabit ethernet, a card reader, 2 USB-C, 4 USB 3.0, 1 HDMI, 1 VGA, and audio. Seems to keep cool and is not too big, considering what it provides. A great product for a work or home office solution. It used mine on a PC, and only connected it to one monitor, but it let me use the laptop screen and the big monitor concurrently.

This docking station is very well built and well designed. It has everything you need to add some USB ports of all kinds, along with an audio output, an HDMI, miniDP, DP, RJ and VGA ports, in addition to SD and MicroSd slots. In short, everything you need and more. Unfortunately in my case, not everything works flawlessly. It is my fault, because I have a 2020 MacBook Pro and the description clearly does not mention it. The only thing that does not seem to work, which is indeed a very minor flaw, is the audio jack output, although I have tried it only with one headphone, maybe others work. Its shape allows the station to be placed under your laptop, which actually helps working with it. The piece is indeed sturdy and very well made, for many years of safe usage. I really hope I can work around the sound output. At that point, it will be the best purchase I did to enhance my excellent MacBook Pro.

Major capabilities with this docking station. Ive used one for the last 3 years at my work office and that enabled extending my laptop to an additional two monitors but limited the USB slots. With the inclusions of USB C slots here, thats a major plus on my end. I can hook up multiple devices to this dock like my phone, external hdds, etc. The added docking tray makes this the perfect attachment for my laptop at work or even take it with me traveling.

I can give this dock two stars for the functions that work but the listing has so many inaccuracies or incorrect descriptions that I cant give it more. ...Dual Monitor, 12 in 1 Triple Display... - Okay, which is it two or three monitors? DisplayPort and DP - Throughout the listing there is reference to DisplayPort yet this product doesnt have a DisplayPort. HDMI2 - There is one image which refers to HDMI2 twice yet there is only one HDMI port on this dock. RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet - Says specifically 10/100 Mbps, which speed is it? 100W PD pass though - image shows 87W power delivery, which one is it? SD/TF Card Slot (Up to 5Gbps...) - 5Gbps = 625MB/s, in one image it states the ports support 104MB/s. Again, which is it? 5Gbps? 625MB/s? 104MB/s? VGA + HDMI support up to 1920x1080@60Hz resolutions. When using the same screen function, HDMI interface supports 4K HD and VGA interface supports 1080P.When connecting HDMI and VGA at the same time, the resolution to 1080P. See product description for details. - I think that translates to when you have the same image across all screens you can have 4K on the HDMI connected one and 1080P (over VGA) on the other screen. If you have two different screens across HDMI/VGA, you have a maximum resolution of 1080P on both connections. Sort of says that and sort of contradicts that.

I am using this dock with Thinkpad X1 Carbon 10th gen. The dock constantly loses the ethernet connection. I have to unplug the ethernet then plug it back in to get a temporary connection. The problem has to be the dock because when I simply substitute it with my old dock that I used with my old Thinkpad X1 Yoga 3rd gen, everything works fine.

If you need a port for something, chances are this dock has it. Its not small and its not cheap, but its got everything. I do wish it had more than one HDMI port, but you could extend to another monitor using a VGA cable.

I ordered this to have additional usb hubs and the ability to read SD and TF cards from my other devices. I got it today and was able to download images off a USB drive. It is plug and play. My only issue is it is large compared to others I have seen. I have a Lenovo Yoga 6 with the 13 screen and it is only a few inches shorter than my laptop is wide. I measured it and the device is 11x3x3/4. I think it is this size so the laptop can sit on it as it has no slip places on both sides of the device and the device is curved in a way that makes me think it can be used as a Lift for the laptop.

I got this docking station to use with a new Surface laptop. It has USB-C connections, so I needed a dock with that type of connector. This dock has everything I needed, including an older VGA connection. There are 3 USB 3.0 connections and an HDMI connection that I will use when I upgrade my monitor. The dock is made of aluminum, so no worries about your laptop resting on top plastic. I have my mouse, keyboard, and monitor plugged into the dock. There is one USB-C cable from the dock to my laptop, so it is very convenient to plug in and start using my peripherals. I am also able to use the monitor as a second screen, so it enhances productivity. I like this dock and recommend it.

The thing that does it for me when it comes to this USB hub/port replicator is the form factor. Its solidly built, has the perfect riser form factor that doesnt use up any extra space on my desk, and lifts up my laptop for better heat dissipation. While there may be other dongle type port replicators that are more powerful and have more ports, the inevitable issue I run into is desk space, as those adapters have to hang over the right or left side of my laptop. Doesnt seem like a big issue, but when youve got a tiny desk like I do its everything. The space used up by the dongle means less real estate for my other devices like my phone, desk lamp, papers, etc. Yeah some folks might poo poo the VGA port, that the HDMI port doesnt support 60 Hz at 4K, or that it has a 100 Mb ethernet rather than Gb. Hear me out though on why those drawbacks arent an issue for me and might not be for you either. Ill be using this for office work and not watching sporting events so I wont notice the missing 30 Hz. My Wi-Fi is faster than 1 Gb ethernet so the slow 100-BT ethernet port wont get used anyways. This dock doesnt do much if your laptop already has tons of ports. It was meant more for small form factor ultra portables like MacBook Airs, Surface Pros, or other tiny laptops that only have a 1 or 2 Thunderbolt or USB C ports. This can replicate all the other missing ports for you, whether it be HDMI, USB3, SD card slot, or 3.5 mm audio. One thing I did not like though is that the ports are not labeled, which is not a big deal, except I need to be able to distinguish between the power delivery port and the regular USB C port. Also the refresh rate seems to be locked at 30 Hz, which is a bummer. I can understand for 4K but if you run at a lower resolution, most other adapters will let you increase the refresh rate to 60 Hz for lower resolutions. Even with these shortcomings this dock/port replicator is still a winner for me and has gained a spot on my desktop (technically not since its using the spot underneath my MacBook).
