Docking Station Dual Monitor for Dell HP, Thunderbolt 3/4 Dock USB C Hub Multiport Adapter Triple Monitor to 2 HDMI 4K,VGA,Ethernet,5 USB,PD,SD/TF,3.5MM for Lenovo,Surface,MacBook Laptops

Perfect docking station for my Dell XPS
After my Dell docking hub broke decided to move on to something more adaptable and less expensive. Opted for this product. High quality, quick and easy install on my desk to connect 2 external displays to my Dell XPS plus USB speaker, webcam and ethernet option. Charging pass through works a treat to save using up one of only two type c ports on the XPS. I use the type c power out port on my Dell monitor as the pass through source to charge and power the laptop. Great product, highly recommend

It Works with a Surface Pro 7
It does work with a MS Surface Pro 7 (i7), 2x 1080p HDMI monitors and a handful of USB devices when used with one of thesehttps://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08HD275TV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1However, there are a few issues – none of them critical but need overcoming to get it to work.1) It’s trial and error getting the USB C connectors the correct way round to support both USB 2/3 recognition and Surface Pro 7 Charging. . I thought USB C was reversible, it seems not. It seems that not only is the hub to machine connection orientation critical, so is an extension lead for this connection. It takes a few seconds for the surface Pro to detect charging so it’s easy to incorrectly assume it’s working or not.2) The integral lead to plug in the device really isn’t long enough. It does not seem to engage easily to get that satisfying ‘click’, although it will with a little persuasion. It’s very unwieldy to have so many cables “floating” from this device to have this device so close to the screen. With the screen tilted for viewing, the hub won’t lie flat and hangs from the screen with heavy trailing cables from all directions. An extension lead really is a must. I used BluTak to fix the hub and all the cables to the under the of the desk with the USB ports facing forward at the desk edge. The Surface Pro has just the one USB C cable, very neat.3) The HDMI circuitry inside the hub uses power from the hub’s power supply, not the device. The hub gets quite hot. I suspect that the Surface pro only just gets enough power to keep charging whilst 2 monitors are in use, but it does charge, so all seems well. The power to the monitor circuit is not used if monitors are not plugged in.4) the 2 HDMI ports will allow extended desktop on both monitors. (1080 P, 4K not tried)5) it is possible to charge a USB power bank without starving anything else.6) The Microsoft Surface pro charges seems to also provide additional power for charging the Surface Pro whilst in use, however the hub needs it’s own power supply.7) The headphone jack works. I have not tried the ethernet, USB C or VGA outlet from the hub. I have not tried full 4K monitors.I think I would buy a larger power supply (75W minimum) if I was buying another one of these. I can’t justify why as 65W device does work reliably, however it would make sense if USB power hungry devices were used.As an alternative to the official docking station it is a much more economical solution particularly if using HDMI monitors.It would have got 5 stars if it did not get so warm and inspired a little more confidence.

Cheap yet… good?
The HDMI out isn’t fantastic, it’s limited to only 4k 30hz which is pretty ehh. If you’re on a mac it’ll force you to use the TV output as 4k 30hz. The usbs, there are 3 of them, seem quite good, very nice to give apple the finger and use my usb A devices. There isn’t a power USB C port, or any USB C at all, which is a bit of a bummer, but who cares, you can spend more if you want that.It has an SD card reader though, which really is quite useful, 2 of them, ones small ones larger, which means if you have a microSD and an SD you can use them both at the same time..It gets warm though, oddly.

Great equipment
Great piece. World to extend my peripherals seamlessly.

Have had this for years now; works great – amazing quality. No complaints.

The hub works great for what I need and deserves the 5 stars.I recently bought a laptop to replace my old desktop, and I wanted an easy way to connect to my multiple displays and USB storage to the new laptop. So, this hub works as my docking station, and is also able to use the laptop’s charger to power both the hub and laptop.However, the display ports do not support adapters such as dvi to dp. You should use dp to do and hdmi to hdmi cables. It is in the manual, if you can read it. Not a huge deal, if you know in advance.But, the instructions are printed on a tiny piece of paper with tiny print. You will need a good magnifier to read it, if you need to read it.So, I give the hub functionality and quality 5 stars, but the manual only 3.
