> 24 hourThis 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.

> 24 hourI got this one to replace my old docking station. I got surprised by how good the quality is for that price. It made my deck setup so much easier and more organized. It’s easy to use and works perfectly. Very recommended.

> 24 hourThe docking station is very handy, small and plug and play. It doesnt leave to much of mess of wire around and also hold computer nicely. I would definitely recommend. I am taking a minor cut on my 5 star rating since this product does not come with its own power brick. I used other power sources and my laptop shows slow charge.

> 24 hourI tried other docking stations prior to the one. The issue I had with the other stations was that the stations took a long time for the station to charge the laptop while using it. Hence, I thought I would have the same charging issue. I have NO problems with the charging time on my mac via the docking station; even though I have the station plugged into an electrical wall USB-c outlet. . The best feature of the docking station is the compact casing which requires little desk space. Another nice feature is the station allows me access to dual 4K external monitors. For people the are not technically inclined, don’t work the dock is plug-and-play

> 24 hourI recently purchased this docking station, and it is easy to use. I just plugged in the cables, and everything worked, and the quality of the display was excellent. I also like how it can be used as a stand to hold the laptop, or i can have the laptop open to use its display. I would recommend this docking station and will purchase it again in the future.

> 24 hourIll start out with my only complaint, and that it doesnt have any USB-C ports other than the power in and the host port, so all accessories have to be with USB or HDMI, which is ok! The good - the unit supports two monitors seamlessly. Currently I have an LG widescreen and a Samsung Smart monitor, and there are no issues. I like the SD card slot as my Surface Pro 7 has limited onboard memory. Overall I think this is a good device for the cost and would not hesitate purchasing another if I needed it. Speaking of which, I have 2 of their previous models which I have also enjoyed!
