Don't use with a Macbook Pro
17 October 2018
This device doesn't work with High Sierra, and with Mojave is very buggy with current drivers. Display is choppy and slow. Finder menus flicker in dark mode and general experience is poor.

J5Create JCD381 mini-dock
11 August 2019
Setup was easy to my Dell XPS13 laptop, and it fired up my two Dell E2418HN monitors OK...but this mini dock does not do a great job of outputting HDMI faithfully.
Working a lot in spreadsheets with coloured cells and text it was blocky and ragged like old low-res. Cell colour background was not smooth and seamless but like stripy wallpaper. Normal text was OK. Did lots of driver updates as per J5Create support instructions - no change.
Took it back to PB after a couple of weeks and tried another - same result. Swapped to Dell 3100 mini Dock - all good. PB Tech were accommodating and helpful through this process.Setup was easy to my Dell XPS13 laptop, and it fired up my two Dell E2418HN monitors OK...but this mini dock does not do a great job of outputting HDMI faithfully.

J5create Type-C Dual HDMI PD Laptop Mini Dock
27 March 2019
Works well on WIN10. USB-C with power delivery, runs two HDMI linked monitors in addition to laptop screen plus spare USB-A's and ethernet.
PROS
Simple, J5 website, download latest drivers, plug into laptop, plug in power (if you wish), plug in monitors, plug in other USB-A devices, all works easily. Works well as a laptop dock. No issue with awakening monitors from sleep which can be a reported issue with some docks. Even worked okay with an aging 2008 laptop with USB 2.0 on Win7 with an USB-C/A adapter for spreadsheet / web surfing.
CONS

CONS
Can get some interference from the dock/USB-A's if you plug a keyboard/mouse wifi dongle in the unit. Easily fixed by either plugging dongle into laptop, or small USB extension cord. Only seems to affect the low-powered dongle, external drives/USB sticks are fine.

Mini Dock

Had a few issues with the drivers conflicting with Mac Mojave but contacted service desk and they sorted me out. Doesnt work with the ethernet connector but I'm not too fussed with that.Had a few issues with the drivers conflicting with Mac Mojave but contacted service desk and they sorted me out.

Dock Review
24 August 2018
Works great with dual monitors. However, the USB-C charging does not work with my Lenovo T470. I have a 45W Lenovo USB-C charger and when I plug it in, I lose connection to my monitors and the laptop doesn't charge.Works great with dual monitors.

Not Linux compatible, which really needs to be in the product description
21 August 2018
I tried this on both a Mac (works well with driver download) and on Ubuntu Linux 16.04 (HDMI does not work at all, even with some hacking).
Recommended for Windows or Mac only.I tried this on both a Mac (works well with driver download) and on Ubuntu Linux 16.04 (HDMI does not work at all, even with some hacking).
