4URPC Laptop Docking Station Stand, USB C Docking Station Dual Monitor, USB C Dock Vertical Stand with 2 HDMI Ports, 3 USB Ports, SD/TF, PD3.0, RJ45 Ethernet, 3.5mm Audio for Dell/Hp/Lenovo/Surface

This review is on the 4URPC docking station. I have had this dock for almost a month. I am a fan of docking stations because they just make sense. They provide the ability to use your notebook as a desktop with a minimum amount of effort. By this I mean that you set your notebook down and connect just one cable and you are in business. In my setting I am using a Dell XPS 15 notebook. This is a high powered notebook- i9 processor, lots of memory and a 130-watt power supply. I have the 130-watt power supply connected to the dock which in turn supplies power to the notebook. I only have to plug a single usb-c cable from the dock to the notebook to become functional. I have the following devices connected to the dock: • two monitors connected via HDMI cables. • a wireless keyboard/mouse connected via usb • a webcam connected via usb • an external hard drive via usb • a wired ethernet connection Everything works fine. There is one issue with the dock which I will address. This dock is designed to support a notebook computer vertically to save space on the desk. If someone’s work required them to frequently take their notebook with them when they left their desk then this dock would be a good solution, because you simply unplug one cable and you’re good to go. However, if you leave your notebook at your desk most all the time then you will come across this issue. If you shut down your computer you cannot turn on the computer unless you remove it from the stand, open it up and then press the power button. At that point you return it to the stand and use it normally. This is somewhat of a hassle. I have used a Dell notebook dock which has the same functionality as the 4URPC, but in addition it has a power button on the dock itself. This means if the computer is connected to the dock, you do not need to open it up and press the power button to begin using your computer. This is my suggestion: Add a power button to the dock to be able to power-on the computer. This may or may not be an issue for others. In addition to the Dell, I have tested this dock with an ASUS Chromebook. It worked fine with the Chromebook. If you are considering this dock, just be aware this is designed for commuters that are powered by usb-C. If your computer does not get power by a usb-C cable, then you should look for another dock.

This dock was provided to me by 4URPC to test/evaluate it. I am typically offered new products by 4URPC to evaluate and test for them. I purchase the dock and then they reimburse me. Please know that I am reimbursed prior to writing any reviews and my reviews are 100% honest. I also provide feedback to 4URPC. For this dock I will start by stating the design is very similar to other models. My evaluation is solely based upon my use with an HP ZBook Firefly 14 inch G8 Mobile Workstation running Windows 10 22H2. I have been using it almost daily for 8 + hours a day for ~ 8 weeks now. At first I had some issues with the built in NIC registering a connection. I am not sure what caused this, maybe a driver needed to be updated, but after about 60 seconds it started working and I havent had an issue since. I did let 4URPC know and they recommended I send an email to their support team. However, I never did since I havent had an issue since. I have noticed that sometimes after disconnecting my laptop and then later reconnecting my laptop will not detect the dock. All drivers and OS are up to date. To resolve the issue, I find disconnecting the laptop from the dock, disconnecting the dock from power let the dock sit for ~ 5 seconds, reattach power cable to dock and then attach laptop back to dock, it then detects it. This happens from time to time on all docks from my experience to I am not too concerned about this. My one recommendation I made 4URPC was to include the power supply with the dock like they do with other models. I dont like having to go out and purchase a power supply matching it up, etc. It isnt a big deal but I would prefer that they just provide a complete setup. They stated they would let their engineers know. Other than that I have no complaints. The unit works as expected and I have always liked the design of this type of dock as it gets my laptop up our of the way giving me some desk space back. I do recommend this dock model for at least use with pc laptops.

Ive been using this docking station for two months now and use it almost every day. During this time, Ive had no issues or failures with it. I use the dock for my MacBook 12inch laptop seen in the photos and my wife uses it for her Dell Latitude laptop. Simply hook up the USB-c cable from the dock to the PC or Mac and were good to go with dual screens or just the one monitor. I Also like how it has the built in stand for your laptop but may have preferred an option where the vertical laptop holders could be removed so the dock could be placed under the monitor stand. All in all, I have several 4URPC docks at home and for work and none of them have given me any issues. 4URPC seems to make a quality product and I have not been disappointed.

Seamless plug and play with my Lenovo Carbon X5. Replacing a Lenovo dock that crapped out after 1 year.

This dock performs as expected and is true to the product description. There are areas that could be improved upon: 1. The host connector port is out in the front and so it can be quite unsightly - should be placed in the back with the power cable port for better cable management and aesthetics. 2. The dock does not allow for the prongs to be adjusted and so depending on your laptop, it may not be a perfect fit and have some wiggle room. 3. The product does NOT come with a power brick and so youll need an adequate usb c powered brick. Despite the areas for improvement, the product does everything it describes and fully functions for a WFH setup. It is well-built and will update with longer use.

Great dock with no issues on windows, macOS or running my iPad Pro. The fins can be removed if you want to use this as a dock inside your desk as well. High quality build and great customer service as well!

This is a great stand. I it has a the ports you need and still allows you to use the laptop ports. Matches my Lenovo perfectly.

This is the 4th 4URPC dock Ive purchased. They have all been fantastic and worked as advertised, and we have not had any issues with them. We purchased this dock to replace one of our different models to free up some desk space for my wife, and it has done exactly that. The dock itself feels very solid. No worries about the laptop falling or tipping over. Setup for 2 external monitors was plug and play and has enough connectivity for everything we need. As mentioned in other reviews, it did not come with a power brick. That was not an issue for me since I was replacing an existing 4URPC dock that did come with one. The only other potential con is once you connect the power and host it leaves 3 available USB ports (no USB-C). This was also not an issue for me, but just be aware if you have a lot of USB peripherals. Overall, I really like this dock. It has the same quality and reliability of my other 4URPC docks for less money. It has also helped me clean up my wifes desk, which she loves!

I have really enjoyed using this docking station for the last couple months. It is a great value for the money and also has worked really well with the different computers I have tested it with. As expected, it allows me to run two tv / computer monitors from the dock as well as my laptop monitor on my HP laptop, so that is great. 3 working screens with peripherals all attached. All I have to do is plug one small cord into my laptop and it is charging my laptop and hooking / connected to everything else. Ive also used it with my Mac Mini and a couple other computers just to see how it would do and have been impressed with it working very well and as I expected. Great value for the money and really cool look and feel to this docking station. My picture isnt great in my setup since I still had some wires I was routing, but it has been a nice addition to my computer setup. Really like and recommend!

I like the way it connects instant. It takes so less space and still makes so big impact. You should definitely buy it for clean desk
