> 24 hourI’ve used multiple Wavlink docks at my work. This is my go-to brand. I purchased the WAVLINK USB 3.0 Universal Laptop Docking Station Dual Monitor for Windows and Mac for this reason. My wife works from home and has a MacBook laptop with 1 monitor. She also needs multiple USB ports. This Wavlink dock has 6 USB ports. It is a powered dock, vs a port replicator, so you need to have power nearby. This is a great dock if you are running 2 monitors with your laptop. One monitor needs to be VGA or DVI, while the other can be HDMI. You also get a network connection. I wish this dock had 2 HDMI ports and a couple of USB-C ports, but it doesn’t. This is a solid dock that should meet your needs if it has all the ports you need.

> 24 hourI am thoroughly impressed with this quad monitor docking station. It has exceeded my expectations in terms of functionality and ease of use. Setting it up with my USB-C Lenovo 480 and MS Surface 7 was a breeze after installing the driver. The docking station seamlessly recognized and supported all four Viewsonic monitors via DisplayPort. Its worth noting that the compatibility with Windows 11 allows for a wide range of configurations, providing a highly customizable experience. The build quality of this docking station is exceptional. The sleek design adds a touch of elegance to my workstation, while the hand controls offer convenient access to various functions. The two bright lights provide excellent illumination for my workspace. The versatility to mount it with or without ducts adds further flexibility to the installation process. Although I chose to have it professionally installed due to ongoing kitchen renovations, the instructions provided indicate that self-installation is straightforward for those who are handy. The comprehensive installation instructions make the process user-friendly. Overall, this docking station is a standout choice. It delivers on its promises and offers a seamless and efficient experience. Whether youre upgrading from an older model or looking for a reliable quad monitor solution, this docking station is a significant upgrade. I highly recommend it for its exceptional quality, ease of use, and impressive functionality.

> 24 hourThis is a niche hub product, but it might suit you very well. PRO -Lots of USB 3 ports -3.5mm audio -Comparatively sturdy upright design for cable-heavy installations -HD @ 60hz, single monitor options somewhat better -2 year warranty CON -No support for HDCP -No host power -No DisplayPort -No 4K monitor support -No USB-C ports -Probably no fast-charge ports Im not certain, but I wonder whether this model is a transitional one? Perhaps thats the reason for the omitted port options. The niche appears to be this: -You have USB 3 and its your fastest available USB port -You have few USB-C format adapters -Youre not using DisplayPort -Your hub isnt going to be used for power (typically, Thunderbolt host hubs) For more, check the Synaptics / DisplayLink Wikipedia page to better understand the standard which certifies this device.

> 24 hourI was looking for a way to expand the connectivity and functionality of my laptop. This docking station while light on some of the modern ports (it lacks USB-C) and has 4 USB 2.0. It also has a DVI and HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, 6 USB Ports, Audio and Mic ports. This docking station is great for connecting a laptop to multiple devices and peripherals, such as monitors, keyboards, mice, speakers, printers, scanners, external hard drives or thumb drives. The dock is pretty compact coming in a bit smaller then the size of most laptop chargers. It has a slick feel somewhere between smooth plastic and Lego. It has a black plastic body with a no slip base that attracts dust pretty aggressively. The docking station has a variety of ports and slots that can accommodate different types of devices and cables. It has: - A USB 3.0 Type B port that connects to your laptop via a USB 3.0 cable (included) - x2 USB 3.0 Type A port - x4 USB 2.0 Type A port - A HDMI port - A DVI port - A Gigabit Ethernet port - A Headphone port - A Mic port It also comes with three converters - A USB Type A (Female) to USB Type C (Male) - A VGA (Female) to DVI (Male) - A HDMI (Female) to DVI (Male) The docking station also comes with a power adapter (12V/2A). I have been using the dock for about a while now, and I can say that it has definitely improved my laptop experience when I am stationary using a multiple monitor and mobile station setup. I use it for both work and entertainment purposes, and it allows me to connect my laptop to multiple devices and peripherals with ease. Some of the benefits that I have noticed from using the USB 3.0 Universal Laptop Docking Station are: Of course, the dock is not perfect and has some drawbacks as well. Most notably it has an older set of ports, DVI and only USB Type A with many being 2.0 is not ideal. However it is useful with my current peripherals.

> 24 hourI ordered this for my work laptop just so Id have an easy way to dock/undock if needed to take my laptop with me places, but wow Im seriously surprised by how much I like this dock. It works great, works with HDMI and DVI monitor cables which is awesome, doesnt seem to have any display delays or lag or anything when typing or moving the mouse, just a great experience. The included display adapters are awesome and is a great include on this, actually ended up not needing them because this already supports DVI cables, but the fact they included several adapters just in case is amazing. 10/10, definitely recommend this!
