PlugableUSB C Triple Display Docking Station with Laptop Charging, for Thunderbolt, USB4, or USB-C Systems, Compatible with Windows, macOS, ChromeOS laptops (3X HDMI, 6X USB 5Gbps Ports, 100W PD)

This docking station has made my life SO MUCH easier. I've connected three monitors to my Microsoft Surface Go 3 and plugged in my USB keyboard, all to the docking station. I had some trouble getting my computer to wake up from Sleep mode, which the Plugable support team helped me resolve. The Plugable customer support team was FANTASTIC! Microsoft could take lessons on how best to support customers!!

This is exactly what I needed! I appreciated how easy it was to set up and the fact it came with everything I needed. The 6 USB ports are located in convenient locations for attaching what I need. I haven't noticed any lag in the USB ports or with the video. The only wish I had was that it came with a longer Thunderbolt cable to connect my laptop. It's a rather short cord and requires the computer to be fairly close to the docking station.

I'm a nursing school student and I needed a lot of screen space because I have to research, reference and write papers simultaneously which is easier to do if I can see everything at once. I purchased a small single non-HD monitor to help and was using a j5 Create dongle to connect to the monitor, but still didn't have enough space. So I decided to make a significant upgrade and purchased a 27" 4k HD monitor from a local computer store and purchased another j5 Create dongle as they said it would work. So I plugged both dongles in, but unfortunately my laptop was incapable of running both monitors at the same time! I needed a "work around" since I found out that my M1 laptop is incapable of running two monitors at the same time so I researched my options and came across the DisplayLink software website and searched out where I could purchase the correct module, Amazon was the place!So, just a heads up, you can't simply download the software and try to run two j5 Creative dongles at the same time or even a single dongle from J5 Creative that has 2 or more HDMI inputs, it doesn't work that way. Also, people are freaked out when you install the software and it asks for permission to "RECORD YOUR SCREEN," well, the module and software need to do that because it's grabbing that info and sending it to to module with a super short delay that's virtually unnoticeable unless you decide to play video games, but I just need this for papers and such. Your computer isn't transmitting your screen data to DisplayLink, it's capturing your screen info, processing it and sending it to the module to do all the splitting and to do its thing.I purchased the cheaper module out of the three options as I'm running one 4k HD monitor and 21" SD monitor in addition to my laptop screen. So the end result is 3-screens, all with different desktop images, and you're NOT stuck with a "mirrored" screen, you get the true 3-screen experience!It works perfect with my laptop. I can also stream music videos from YouTube and watch them in 4k on the one monitor while running a bunch of programs at one time and moving from one monitor to the other and have no skips or weird things going on with the video. The only thing I think I could ding against this product is that if I try to run the video full screen on the 4k monitor it might lose some resolution, but considering how much work this software and module is doing, that's pretty amazing!I would highly recommend using this product if you're planning a setup like mine, but if you have two 4k HD monitors, you'll probably need to go to the second or 3rd more expensive optional modules to run those displays. I'm very happy with this purchase and it works perfect for my needs!

Only one of the three ports on my Dell laptop worked. Only 2 of the three worked on my home PC. 1 HDMI worked for my steam deck. All three worked for the chrome book.Tried to install the firmware - could not detect the docking station - and yes, I made sure to download for this exact model.There are way too many companies in the docking station industry that have no business doing it. I baffled at the 4.8 review score - you don't deserve it. At these prices, your firmware should work flawlessly.

I needed it to get a third monitor on my M1 MacBook Pro. I presently have one monitor fed from the HDMI port on the laptop, while the other two monitors are fed from the Plugable DisplayLink docking station.On weekdays my monitors are filled with live updating stock charts and tables, one video feed, a programming IDE and an active YouTube video. The USB ports have two unique Logitech Receivers (one 'Bolt' and one 'Unifying') and a Yubico 2FA fingerprint reader (seen on the front of the dock in my included photograph)None of what I do is exactly graphics intensive, but a previous dock - which I should mention was powered solely by the laptop - was prone to choppy graphics and rare drops of my Logitech receivers. Suddenly losing my mouse/KB at the wrong time can be devastating.Thus far, this dock has been perfect. There have been no problems with graphics, attached peripherals/devices and it doesn't get too warm. My only wish was that the power cable that extends from the power brick to the wall outlet be a little longer.Note: I use cordless headphones, so I can't comment on the headphone jack.

Only brand I will buy. We have purchased hundreds of Plugable docks dating back to 2020 and recently have had some users in need of 3 screens at their workstations and this ones has been a dream. We have had issues with other brands either over charging or undercharging when using thunderbolt/USB4 cables but this dock has been perfect for every model of laptop we have tried it on.

Worked mostly great from the moment I started using it until this morning, 4 months after buying. Simply won't turn on anymore with the blue status light turning on for a split sec when it's plugged back in just to immediately turn back off while still plugged in. A docking station for $150 needs to last a whole lot longer than 4 months. Been used for only basic work functions with 3 monitors, nothing crazy or demanding. Would easily give it 5 stars if it would last, wildly inconvenient to have all of my monitors at work suddenly stop working with no fix until I replace it.However, Plugable tech support was insanely quick to respond and extremely helpful. I understand that even with the best tech you will sometimes get a device that has issues, even then it's pretty frustrating and inconvenient. But again, with how great and fast their support team has been, I have to still be a supporter.
