Dock is fine for what it is. Got it on special, so hard to complain. Had for a week or so, really testing the capability and possible use cases of the thing. Pros: Looks pretty mint tbh has a lot of great connectivity was plug and play with windows 10 and 11 I was able to daisy-chain just fine via the DisplayPort output (though limited in resolution as described in the product description). Cons: - Can take a long time for computers to recognise the dock and subsequent inputs, sometimes requires a couple of attempts at plugging in to get full connection - The cable is quite short for a required 90 degree plug in, putting strain on the USB port on my laptops and is super sensitive to disconnecting - This device only plugs into one USB-C port, meaning that despite ... MoreDock is fine for what it is.

Set up with power + max resolution output (1080 x 2) + USB ports is unreliable (USB will often stop/not work) - This dock consumes 15W of power, so beware if you're doing power pass through (no fast charge in particular if that matters). - It can get warm, something to be aware of if your lappy already runs hot Given it's short comings, this thing would work better and have a more seamless experience if it just used a second usb-c connector.

This dock has functioned really well for me with a MacBook Pro 16, MBP 14 and MacBook 12. The only issue (with the MBP 16 really, not the dock!) is that some laptops pulls down too much power and will slowly drain battery if powered through the dock. I've resorted to sometimes plugging in the original power brick directly. Otherwise, if you don't need Thunderbolt speed transfers this has a nice selection of ports in a good form factor. I run a 1440p display at 60Hz over HDMI plus ethernet and another USB hub of USB things (webcam, speakers, mouse, keyboard, game controller dongle) and it all works 99% of the time. Very occasionally I need to unplug and replug it to get everything going but less than other docks I've tried.

It does get pretty hot under an also hot laptop btw, so keep it in mind if you don't have the coolest running system - the extra heat can contribute to fans spinning up more or even thermal throttling if you regularly push your laptop to the limit. Seldom and issue for me though.

Compact and Perfect for WFH

This relatively compact dock made my work from home laptop setup fantastic. I hooked it up to both my Thinkpad X1 Carbon, as well as my MacBook Air, and it worked for both laptops well. For my Windows machine, it extended my laptop display, giving me 2 screens. This was the most important feature for me. The USB-C port provided enough power for all my devices, and the DP and HDMI ports were more than I needed to hook up my screens. The extra USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports are nice to have and both my laptops automatically recognized everything like they were built in to the computers. I pulled out an old SD card to test that out and that worked well, and I can see using this for viewing files from cameras or other devices, but I think I could get a huge SD card and use it as ... MoreThis relatively compact dock made my work from home laptop setup fantastic.

I pulled out an old SD card to test that out and that worked well, and I can see using this for viewing files from cameras or other devices, but I think I could get a huge SD card and use it as a local backup for pictures, etc. I didn’t have any need for the VGA port, but if you need a legacy port, this has it. No parallel port for those of us with older printers lying around - that would have been an interesting feature. It also has an ethernet port which I think is very useful, with laptops requiring dongles these days for wired internet. I didn’t notice any faster internet from being wired vs. my wireless connection, but I may see if my connection is more stable over time. Design-wise, the wedge shape is obviously designed to place your laptop on for a better typing angle. I didn’t really care about this feature as I hooked up a wireless keyboard with all the extra USB ports that the 11-1 dock had given me. The only time I felt restricted was with the short connecting cable to my laptops, which for most people will help keep their workspace tidy. This is definitely a great little dock, with almost every port you will need, and instantly compatible with both Windows and Mac laptops! It makes WFH better and I can switch my workspace from my work laptop to my personal laptop very easily.

Convert your laptop into a desktop/workstation

This Multiport Dock connects to your laptop through only the USB C port that most of us only use to charge our computer. Its adds functionality in the form of these additional ports:USB x 3 (2 x 3.0, 1 x 2.0)Video ports x 3 (VGA, HDMI, DisplayPort)2 card readers (SD and micro SD)3.5mm headphone jackEthernetI connected it to my ASUS C302C Chromebook which has a micro SD card slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and left and right USB C ports.Here are the things I like about it:1. Connecting it is easy. Just plug it into the USB port and it works.2. I can use an external mouse, which I plan on doing.3. The position of the computer is slightly more comfortable with the device under the Chromebook.4. I connected it to my TV via the HDMI port and the ... MoreThis Multiport Dock connects to your laptop through only the USB C port that most of us only use to charge our computer.

Connecting it is easy. Just plug it into the USB port and it works.2. I can use an external mouse, which I plan on doing.3. The position of the computer is slightly more comfortable with the device under the Chromebook.4. I connected it to my TV via the HDMI port and the Chromebook has a multitude of settings for orienting the Chromebook screen and the HDMI connected screen. For example, you can mirror, left, right, up down, diagonal, etc. I could also adjust the size of the font in the Chromebook settings. Unfortunately there were no audio settings that I could find, so I had the stay with the speakers on the Chromebook.5. I can connect an SD card to the Chromebook, at least while it is plugged in. My Chromebook only has a micro SD slot.Here are the things I think are (or might be) limitations:1. Would be difficult to connect to a laptop/Chromebook/Macbook that has only a right-sided USB C connection. Could this be fixed by having a cable on the Multiport Dock that could be moved to either side?2. For me it got warm. I don't know if it was hotter outside or under heavy use it might get very hot. It did not get very hot for me under light use and in 50 degree weather.3. Audio didn't work with HDMI. This is probably a limitation of the Chromebook more than with the Multiport Dock, but either way audio wasn't working through HDMI. This could probably be solved with an inexpensive 3.5mm audio cable if your monitor has that input.4. It's kind of expensive compared to the price of my Chromebook, which was between $200 and $300. For someone using a MacBook, the price seems less significant.In summary, I like the improved positioning of the keyboard and the ability to add USB devices such as a mouse. For someone who wanted to create a workstation and who frequently wanted to disconnect their laptop and take it somewhere else, it would be ideal as you would only need to disconnect the USB C. Just remember to have a 3.5mm audio cable if you're connecting a display via HDMI.

Great functionality, fully-featured

This is a great docking station for USB-C equipped laptops. Just make sure that your USB-C port is on the right, the cable is short. The recommended work-around by the manufacturer is to turn the whole device upside-down if your port is on the right.Everything works as expected, except that my particular laptop does not support DisplayPort over USB-C, so I couldn't use any of the display outputs - make sure yours does support this beforehand. All other built-in functions run over USB. You do also need to make sure your laptop can charge via USB-C PD though, if you want charging support to work.Only quirk I found (which isn't really an issue): the audio device for the 3.5mm jack does not show up at all on the USB bus until a cable is plugged into the 3.5mm jack, ... MoreThis is a great docking station for USB-C equipped laptops.

This is a good thing though, since it then takes over as the default audio device, effectively disabling built-in laptop speakers. If the cable is unplugged, the audio interface disappears, and on most laptops the speakers become active again by default.

Overall not bad but left things to be desired.

Can only give this a 3. In general it does work but performance, specific to how well it connects to devices and the devices simply "appear" plug and play has been at times frustrating.My "Time Machine™" drive for example, sometimes won't show up until I use disk utility to mount it. I've found the VGA display port to be a little flaky as well though it seems to be finding itself a little better maybe as the hardware gets "settled" (If that's even a possible thing?) The hardware seems well made otherwise and when things are working they are generally speaking fine.I've been using it to connect to an external USB hub which connects to a couple of pointers and Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse via usb fob, the hub also has an HP USB printer scanner on it which ... MoreCan only give this a 3.

On a less cluttered desk or one with a more open back (I'm against a wall) that may work better than it does for me.

This provides more ports that your laptop doesn't!

There are 11 ports on the back side of the dock. They are (in order from left to right):01. 3.5mm audio in/out02. VGA out03. SD memory card reader04. microSD memory card reader05. Ethernet RJ45 Gigabit06. USB-A 3.007. USB-A 3.0 (BC 1.2)08. USB-A 2.009. DisplayPort 4k10. HDMI 4k11. PD 3.0 (Power Delivery, no data)01. I tested this port using wired earbuds. This worked w/o a hitch and was recognized very quickly (within seconds). I didn't test it w/ a microphone but I have no reason to believe it wouldn't work.02. I tried testing this w/ an old 15" flat panel monitor but Windows 10 failed to detect the monitor. It doesn't matter much since I don't really plan to connect my laptop to an old VGA monitor.03. This worked well although I should ... MoreThere are 11 ports on the back side of the dock. They are (in order from left to right):01. 3.5mm audio in/out02. VGA out03.

Windows automatically assigns it a drive letter.04. This worked well although I should mention that the microSD memory card needs to be inserted w/ the label side down (as in upside down). There is no satisfying click when inserted (you just push in and pull out). Windows automatically assigns it a drive letter.05. not tested but I think this would work for hotel rooms that didn't offer any wifi but only had an ethernet wall jack to provide wired internet. Naturally, you would have to bring an ethernet cable to use their internet.06. This worked well.07. This worked well but I didn't test the BC 1.2 portion (BC = battery charging).08. This worked well but files transferred at a lower speed.09. I didn't test this since I don't have a DP cable.10. I tried testing this feature by connecting to my 27" 1440p monitor w/ the included HDMI cable but Windows 10 failed to detect the monitor. This probably requires reading the manual or asking a question on the forums. I wouldn't be using this feature much anyway.11. So when the DOCK is connected to your (presumably) only USB-C port on the laptop, you would take your laptop's charging cable and AC adapter and plug it into this port to charge up your laptop. This seemed to charge my laptop about as well as it would w/o having the DOCK involved.Although I couldn't get the DOCK to connect to a monitor (ports 02 or 10) it's important to note that for all the other ports, they worked just fine. And that's reasons enough for me to want to keep using this product (since my laptop doesn't provide enough ports on its own).

Versatile and Convenient

The Belkin USB-C 11-in-1 Multiport Dock is portable that I can travel with it in my Timbuk2 over the shoulder bag along with my 13” MacBook Pro and my 12.9” iPad Pro. The USB-C cable provides single cable connection for expansion and the pass-through power is convenient for charging my devices. I was able to connect several peripherals into their respective ports with no issues while using my MacBook Pro. My devices while resting on the dock are propped up nicely while typing, and my cables are nicely organized while connected to the dock. Altogether the dock allows for versatility and portability when expanding your laptop to a functional workstation, which is great for traveling. *One word of caution though.

If you plan to purchase this dock for your iPad, only the USB-C port will function for power pass-through. You cannot connect additional peripherals into the dock, such as a USB-A drive, as it will not be read by the iPad. I would recommend this dock if you are looking to expand your laptop to function as a workstation, while also seeking USB-C compatibility and portability for travel.

Well made dock for computers with multiple USB-C

Well made dock for computers with multiple USB-C Ports.For those who have more than one free USB-C port, this dock is fantastic. It’s very sturdy and has all the ports you could wish for, except more USB-C ports. If you have 2 or more, this dock works brilliantly.I especially like that an Ethernet port is included for prolonged desktop use and faster and more consistent connections. The non-slip rubber pads on both the top and bottom are helpful in stabilizing the laptop above, and the solid aluminum construction gives you confidence in its durability.Personally, if this dock had one less USB-A port and another USB-C port, it would be perfect. While we’re at it, since I have a Macbook Pro with Thunderbolt 3, an upgraded version supporting TB3 would be ... MoreWell made dock for computers with multiple USB-C Ports.For those who have more than one free USB-C port, this dock is fantastic.

I like that the dock is also device agnostic, so it can be used for a long time, even as your devices may change. I intend to see how this works with an iPad Pro in the future as it becomes more capable.

Working nicely -- now

I bought it last year for a laptop a company sent me. It worked ok, but there were some monitor issues. A stopped working with that client and the device has sat on the shelf for more than six months. I bought a new laptop. Well, two. The first was an Asus, and it wasn't recognizing the monitor connected through the station. Research showed that was a known problem with Asus. Returned that and got a Lenova. The docking station is now plugged in and an interface between the laptop and a kvm. The mouse/keyboard USB connection is into the docking station, as is a direct hdmi link to a second monitor, and I've used the station for sneaker netting software via USB drive. Everything seems to be working as expected.
