Firstly i would like to say that being able to connect 1 cable instead of 6-7 every time you take your laptop from work to home is awesome! most of the problems that i had with it were to do with the video output

However for my laptop there is a latency effect on whatever screens are plugged into the docking station... perhaps might not enough to be noticable by everyone (you just overshoot things your trying to click on a lot more) but for me it's like night and day, it is especially noticeable when you move a window from your laptop screen to a screen plugged into the docking station, the window sort of squeezes up as it moves from the l...view more Firstly i would like to say that being able to connect 1 cable instead of 6-7 every time you take your laptop from work to home is awesome! most of the problems that i had with it were to do with the video output

However for my laptop there is a latency effect on whatever screens are plugged into the docking station... perhaps might not enough to be noticable by everyone (you just overshoot things your trying to click on a lot more) but for me it's like night and day, it is especially noticeable when you move a window from your laptop screen to a screen plugged into the docking station, the window sort of squeezes up as it moves from the laptop screen (in real time) to the docking station screen ( slower). probably livable for people who only do simple word processing typed work but for 3d modeling, drafting or games it is painful.

Secoundly its supposed to charge the laptop via the usb cable but this dosen't work on all laptops.

thirdly because of the onboard graphics if you use a docked screen as your main screen certain programs (that run fine when the docking station is not plugged in) will fail to run. i've noticed this on Sketchup 2020 & layout 2020 (CAD programs). you can work around this by having the main screen as your laptop screen.

PB tech were able to provide me with the right dock required for my home office set up and discounted the product from $60 so I was please with that.

We have been using this docking station daily for over 3 weeks and, apart from initially downloading the "Display Link" driver from the dell web site to support the extra two video displays, this docking station just plugged in and worked.

Have used it on both on my wife's Lenovo laptop (for work) and my son's Asus laptop for uni so definitely doesn't need to be a Dell laptop. When my wife was moving between work (one extra screen) and home (two extra screens) the drivers/OS seemed to remember the configuration and just came up how she had left it previously.

We have generally used it with a wireless keyboard/mouse , a flatbed scanner, headset for Zoom meetings, gigabit Ethernet and two HDMI screens attached with no issues and still ports free for other devices. Very happy with it so far!

A great product for connecting multiple laptops easily. Provides additional usb 2 and 3 ports, 3 monitor connections as well as sound and internet cable connections.

Exactly what I needed for my dual screens and work laptop. Have two of these at home (one for me and one for the mrs). I use a Surface Book and my partner uses a Toshiba Portege and works well for both. Exactly what I needed for my dual screens and work laptop.

Have purchased two of these to connect up to HP laptops and works well. Good range of ports for all basic requirements, but primarily purchased to add two external monitors.
Prompt and efficient delivery by PB Tech as always. Have purchased two of these to connect up to HP laptops and works well. Good range of ports for all basic requirements, but primarily purchased to add two external monitors.

Rubbish product in comparison to say the Tagus generic dock.

This product functions sort of - USB ports compete with resources can't for example have a headset and webcam connected and use the headset microphone.

The mouse receiver must be connected to the PC to work without stuttering.

Really cannot recommend - buy a Tagus dock its more expensive but works great out of the box. In my case it wasn't in stock.

We have been on the hunt for a screen solution that would provide 2 extended screens from a 13" Apple M1 device.
We used this dock with display link technology to achieve this as M1 natively gives you only 1 extended screen.

Our staff use a 3 screen setup (Laptop Screen and 2 Extended Screens) so this fits the bill.
So if anyone is looking for a setup to apply to an Apple M1 13" Device in their fleet, this dock will help.

Sidenote: You'll need to download the free DisplayLink software from their website (theres been a brand name change, link below)
