My main requirements - power button and working without drivers - are not fulfilled in spite of description and discussion with the seller. This misleading information was the reason why I bought this item instead of about 8 times less expensive which has the same functionality for me.

This is a compact multi-port USB C docking station that greatly increases the functionality of my MacBook Pro, which only has two USB C ports. I like the design because it is very sleek, has a high build quality, and feels solid and robust. The docking station includes a power button on top, SD/TD card slots, a USB C port, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a USB A port on the front. The unit's back panel features two USB A ports, two HDMI ports (4k x 2 or 8k compatibility with PC), a DP port (4k), a USB C port for laptop connection (host), a 100W USB C PD port, and an Ethernet port. I can connect multiple displays, a keyboard, a mouse, USB storage devices, and other devices. My laptop has been transformed into a desktop workstation.

I can connect multiple displays, a keyboard, a mouse, USB storage devices, and other devices. My laptop has been transformed into a desktop workstation. Overall, it's a small docking station with a lot of ports that supports multi-stream display, dual and triple. The only disappointment was the lack of available USB C ports, as two of them are already in use. Given that all new devices are now USB C, I would have expected at least two available ports. Overall, this is a fantastic 12 in 1 multi-port hub that greatly simplifies life with its numerous connectivity options. It can significantly increase productivity, especially when combined with a triple display.

The docking station is well designed and layed out with really high resolution for the monitor outputs. SD card slots (standard and micro) up front are very handy, but run at relatively low speed. Overall the Unit works as intended and looks great. The part that is a little interesting is that it REQUIRES external power from your (laptop) power supply to suppy power to your Laptop properly. It also requires you load drivers for the Displaylink chipset to run ethernet, and media display. Overall a rather high price for an integrated docking station. Most users will be better serverd by a USB C based dongle if you do not need 3 external displays.ALSO PLEASE NOTE-: This usb docking station is Not compatible with MacBook Pro(13.3-inch, M2, 2022)This detail is only ... MoreThe docking station is well designed and layed out with really high resolution for the monitor outputs.

I am constantly looking for ways to optimize my workflow, and this docking station allows me to do so by allowing me to connect multiple displays to my Macbook without taking up an incredible amount of space. In fact, the unit itself is pretty small, which is great for those with minimal desk space.The good: I was able to plug in two or three displays using the different ports on the docking station, and all of them maintained high resolution and were as responsive as you would like additional displays to be. The ports are labeled nicely so you are aware of what power and data transfer capabilities they have so you can ensure everything is plugged into the best possible port for what you need. Make sure you review the product information and ensure that your ... MoreI am constantly looking for ways to optimize my workflow, and this docking station allows me to do so by allowing me to connect multiple displays to my Macbook without taking up an incredible amount of space.

Make sure you review the product information and ensure that your laptop does not need more than the 100W output the station allows for, but generally this supports most common laptops!The bad: This product does not come with a charger, so you will need to supply a USB-C charger on your own dime. For a product at this price range, it would be nice for that to be included so you can plug and play out of the box. It also does not have many USB-C ports on it, which could cause you a headache if you were expecting more with your docking station.Overall, this has reduced the space my work area takes and has optimized my workflow. If you do not need 2 or 3 additional displays running at 4k resolutions, this product gets the job done but would be a bit overkill.

This is my go to dock right now. I’m not running a multiple display setup. Setup includes M1 Pro 16”/dock/LG 38” widescreen display. The dock supports 60Hz for the display and it looks nice.This dock looks stylish and it’s very compact, it doesn’t take up much real estate. I have an Apple 140W USB-C charger supplying the power to the dock. The 100W output from dock is more than enough to keep my M1 Max notebook charged while using it. The 1gig NIC on the dock works without issue and configuration. I also have a amp/DAC plugged into the USB-A ports and those function properly as well.I wish the dock had multi-gig support (at least 2.5Gbps) and I would of liked to have two USB-C monitor output ports. Other than that, this is a great dock especially for the price ... MoreThis is my go to dock right now. I’m not running a multiple display setup.

I have hooked this up to both a Windows and a Mac laptop, and tested in a dual and triple monitor configuration, using HDMI and DP connections. This handled all the configurations I threw at it. Impressive.This is fairly compact, so it does not take up much space.About the only con is that his needs power thru a USB-C port. There is a short, included cable, but there is no included power adaptor. Also this has a rated 100W output for power. I tested this up to 85W, and it functioned. Some laptops require more than 100W, so check that before ordering. The port labels are not in high contrast, and a little hard to read.

Device looks neat and works fine. Has all the ports you need but some are kind of scarce, in my case I would prefer at least two more USBA ports.Device setup fine and plug and play but if you plan to use the HDMI and DP ports, I advise to install the latest Display Link drivers (included in the mini CD) and restart.Before installing the driver, windows used a 2020 driver and the display was glitching a lot, after installing the driver it did work well, just do not thing of playing over this, and also no HDR support, see pictures, bur at least it does 60Hz, the previous display link devices I've own only supported 1080p and 30Hz tops, this one does 4K at 60Hz, really an upgrade. I'm not able to test 8K, but probably it will work as the manufacturer said.At the end ... MoreDevice looks neat and works fine.

I do have three USBA devices connected and thats why I think it should have at least two more.I think its on the expensive side of the category for what it brings but everything works and will allow to have three monitors at 4K resolutions witch is impresive.

I'm starting to think that I should give up on finding a viable dock for my MacBook Pro, and just keep using cables out of every port. This dock certainly looks great, and it might do well on other platforms, but I ran up against these quirks:I couldn't get it to output to two monitors from my MacBook Pro. Not with HDMI, not with DisplayPort, and not with USB-C. One works great -- if that one is HDMI. I could not get it to output via USB-C to my 32-inch LG monitor. In reading further, it appears this may be a limitation of the Mac that you can't output to two screens from a single port. I probably can't hold that against Ugreen, but it seems like it should be prominently mentioned if that's a known limitation.The sound. It sounds fine -- once the sound gets ... MoreI'm starting to think that I should give up on finding a viable dock for my MacBook Pro, and just keep using cables out of every port.

But I was running the thing for a half a day before I realized I was missing every teams notification because of sound lag to the headphone/speaker port. A song plays. A ding never makes it out (you can demonstrate this by trying to use the volume control with the audio cues enabled).Everything else appears to be fine. And it's certainly convenient to have a printer, an external drive, a microphone and a webcam all at the ready over a single port out of my Mac. Power delivers well and keeps the machine charged. The card slots are fine. And it's a nice looking unit. I just need it to do a little more. Maybe if I had a PC?

It’s been years since we bought any new electronics for the kids room. The computer/monitors we have are bulky and outdated. We started fresh with the new mini computer and laptop for portability, added two small monitors. They don’t do any gaming its mainly for school projects and watch a few videos. The hub/docking station we easy to setup up however didn’t work with one of the monitors and not sure why. We wanted to hook up two monitors, just because we now have a bit more space by changing out the bulky computer. I wanted to use this “hub” to connect more devices or different devices it doesn’t pass through charging larger devices. For the value, we can’t really use it without buy some type of charger. So, it’s ok but will need to buy another different type of ... MoreIt’s been years since we bought any new electronics for the kids room. The computer/monitors we have are bulky and outdated.

Great transfer speeds, connectivity, charging and HDMI output. A little pricey for the amount of functions though, and there are smaller hubs that do almost as much. Though, maybe not with as fast data speeds. Although, there were a few funky issues.While using HDMI 1 to connect to an XPS laptop to a 4K TV, the response was delayed enough to make things very irritating to do. It was not delayed on the laptop screen, just the TV. Using a mouse was difficult, playing video games near impossible. Had to troubleshoot drivers, graphics settings, etc etc, until I just tried plugging the HDMI into the 8K slot. Problem solved. The display output is showing 4K @ 60Hz, which HDMI 1 is also supposed to be capable of as well. I guess I’ll just have to be happy it works, and ... MoreGreat transfer speeds, connectivity, charging and HDMI output.

The display output is showing 4K @ 60Hz, which HDMI 1 is also supposed to be capable of as well. I guess I’ll just have to be happy it works, and glad I don’t need the other port. I could try better PD and HDMI cables, but it works and that’s good enough for now.Also, using the USB A on the front rated at 10GBps did not work and did not recognize my external drive. Keep in mind, you MUST connect a power supply to the PD port for this to function well. Unlike what other reviews have said, I found this DID work without it, but external drives would click as if they were about to die and have hardware failure, and would disconnect. Upon plugging in power, the problem was resolved. It is connected to a PD charger, but the cable may not be good enough to deliver enough power and that may be the issue with the 10GBps slot. I have not troubleshooted further as this has taken enough of my time and it works fine for everything I need for now.Will update with any more info when available, but if you get this, be sure to have a good power supply and high wattage PD cable ready. It does come with a thunderbolt cable to connect to your laptop, but not the PD power delivery.Also, this will not charge the laptop just as all the powered USB hubs I’ve ever tried will not charge it either. The power delivery is to power the hub and any devices attached to the ports. I suggest you do not EVER run an external hard drive on a hub without good power delivery as I’ve learned the hard way, this is a good way to kill the drive and lose all your data.
