USB C HUB Docking Station Dual Monitor, 12 in 1 Triple Display Thunderbolt 3 USB C,HDMI 4K,VGA,3.5Audio,Ethernet,USB-C,SD/TF,Compatible for Dell/Surface/HP/Lenovo Laptops.

I am always looking for new port replicators as my job is keeping everything PC related running. I have purchased may of these types of devices and I think this one has the largest amount of ports and connections I have found. 12 is pretty impressive, although I dont own a Mac I do support them sometimes and thought Maybe this would work on one of the ones we have. I decided to keep this for my own use as it is supposed to be compatible with many other devices besides Macs. I tested on my personal Laptop an HP Envy running Windows 11 Pro. Should be pretty easy to set things up. First off the USB-c connection to the laptop was a little loose, probably not the port on the laptop as I dont typically use USB-c devices on this laptop. I got the dock connected and plugged in a wireless Keyboard and mouse no issues connected right up. I tried a couple other USB 3 devices each one was recognized and started working right away. I did have one portable drive the device just would Not recognize. I plugged it in directly and worked just fine. Next I tested the Ethernet connection I had to unplug the dock and reconnect it for it to see I had an ethernet cable connected I disconnected and reconnected 2 or 3 times and it connected right up every time after initial miss. Now to the issues I tried to connect a TV using HDMI and the Dock didnt see anything like a second monitor, next I tried the VGA connector with a second monitor I have Also no detection of a display device. Both of these displays work fine connected directly to the laptop so either the display uses something specific to macs or it is defective. I think they should also have some labeling on the dock to make it easier to find which port is which. Of The 2 USB-c ports 1 is for charging and would be nice to see on the device what type of SD cards it can read. The dock is also huge, like ten inches long takes up a lot of space in the laptop bag. I do like it has non-slip feet on both sides. If I can get display working on anything other than a Mac I will consider this a win.

The product itself is fairly light, but does feel very well made. I like that it has rubber feet on the bottom as well as a strip along the top, so you could theoretically use it on either side. It offers a good selection of ports and video outputs, but you are limited to 10/100mbps Ethernet. Still, if you had to plug into ethernet is should be fast enough for most tasks, and did allow an iPad to reach the top end of that speed during my testing. I was also able to access a USB stick when plugged into an iPad. I tested that same USB stick on my computer and the speed what about the same through the device, or plugged directly into my computer as shown in the photos. I do wish there where additional options for connecting this device to a computer or tablet other than the attached USB-C chord, but I suppose you could get a USB-C adapter in that case. Overall its been working very well and would offer some good expansion to devices with limited ports.

I have a Dell and this works great as a hub to connect all of the monitors and printer. I have not had any issues So far so good!!

I ordered this to have additional usb hubs and the ability to read SD and TF cards from my other devices. I got it today and was able to download images off a USB drive. It is plug and play. My only issue is it is large compared to others I have seen. I have a Lenovo Yoga 6 with the 13 screen and it is only a few inches shorter than my laptop is wide. I measured it and the device is 11x3x3/4. I think it is this size so the laptop can sit on it as it has no slip places on both sides of the device and the device is curved in a way that makes me think it can be used as a Lift for the laptop.

I am using this dock with Thinkpad X1 Carbon 10th gen. The dock constantly loses the ethernet connection. I have to unplug the ethernet then plug it back in to get a temporary connection. The problem has to be the dock because when I simply substitute it with my old dock that I used with my old Thinkpad X1 Yoga 3rd gen, everything works fine.

If you need a port for something, chances are this dock has it. Its not small and its not cheap, but its got everything. I do wish it had more than one HDMI port, but you could extend to another monitor using a VGA cable.

I have been using USB docking stations for years. This one seems to be the fastest ever. I had to replace my prior one when some of the ports seemed to be acting up. It was an early, regular USB 3 to 3 USB, 2 HDMI, card reader. I never used the card reader. This one has a lot more features and speed. The USB C connection seems faster, it allows for gigabit ethernet, a card reader, 2 USB-C, 4 USB 3.0, 1 HDMI, 1 VGA, and audio. Seems to keep cool and is not too big, considering what it provides. A great product for a work or home office solution. It used mine on a PC, and only connected it to one monitor, but it let me use the laptop screen and the big monitor concurrently.

This is so much more convenient to use than a standard brick-style hub. The slim profile makes it easy to slide under the back of your laptop and gives just enough elevation that typing is comfortable. Its light enough that you can throw it in your laptop bag and take it with you if needed. Overall, very pleased.

I tried for a few weeks to use this docking station, but it kept having repeat issues so Ive stopped using it. The two issues I found were: 1. I cant get it to provide two unique video outputs. The HDMI and VGA are the same, and my Windows 10 Lenovo laptop video settings only shows two monitors (the laptop screen and one more screen). Maybe the unit is defective, as other reviewers dont seem to have had this issue. A colleague tried his Dell laptop and it had the same issue. 2. The pass-thru power is flakey. I am using a 100W USB C PD that works fine when plugged directly into the laptop. But when I connect the laptop to this docking station through the included connection cable, the laptop sometimes charges, sometimes doesnt, and sometimes switches rapidly between charging and not charging. Perhaps the manufacturer will see this review and help me figure this out. This was a disappointing experience, as I was looking forward to the slick design that the laptop can rest on and sit at a slight angle. Most of the other docking stations out there are clunky boxes that have wires coming out of multiple sides. This one was the cleanest look I could find.

This is not the first hub Ive ordered. The first one had plenty of USB-C and USB 3 ports along with HDMI but no SD card reader. The second one had the SD card reader, but no USB-C power input. This one has everything. Need an HDMI port? Check. DisplayPort? Check. MiniDisplayPort? Check. USB-C? Check twice. USB-3? Check 4 times. RJ45 internet connection? Check. Headphone jack? Check. SD card reader? Check. MicroSD card reader? Check (but you cant use the SD and MicroSD slots at the same time. Im using this with a Lenovo X Carbon laptop. One of the nicest features of this hub is that it can fit under your laptop, staying out of the way while giving a comfortable angle to your keyboard. Yes, this hub is a tad pricy (it was offered at just under $100 when I ordered it,) but with so many built-in ports, it should last you a long time. I use a hub to copy SD cards to an external hard drive, to use wired internet in hotels (youll often find a free wired port in a hotel room and avoid having to pay exorbitant prices for WiFi) and playing movies from my laptop to a hotel TV. I just finished copying 28GB of Fuji GFX100s RAF files from a Lexar 633X SD card to a Toshiba 4TB USB 3 drive and it took 28 minutes. Thats about as quick as this external drive works regardless of whether its reading or writing and regardless of what computer its connected to. Im happy happy happy with this hub.
