WAVLINK USB 3.0 Universal Laptop Docking Station Dual Monitor for Windows and Mac, USB 3.0 or USB-C Dock Video Display Outputs HDMI/DVI/VGA, Gigabit Ethernet, 6 USB Ports, Audio

The very first thing you notice on this is that its a very solid bit of hardware. Using this as a docking station, its not sliding around the desk - its a bit hefty. This comes with a USB and separate power brick. Its another item that has the power circuitry at the plug, so it does need a little room - if youve got a tight outlet youll be using, you might want a small extension with a normal size plug. Thats about the only beef I have with this, though. Its got a reasonable number of USB ports, both 2.0 and 3.0 (no USB C) to have a desktop station set up for a laptop. It also handles HDMI and DVI, and provides an ethernet port if needed. The DVI was actually welcome, given one of the monitors I had. I dont know how heavily used it would be. In short - its not fancy, theres no USB C ports, but its a solid piece doing a solid job, and thats really all I could ask of it.

I have no issues with this product. It does as it is supposed to. I appreciate the USB ports immensely. You can never have enough USB ports these days.

Supports a clean asthetic. True plug and play. Combo hdmi and display port for mixed environments. I did not need to install their driver and was able to set it up in minutes.

I have a desktop and a laptop. I wanted to set up a 2nd workstation in my office for the laptop. The laptop is an older ThinkPad but still works very well. I saw this WavLink docking station. Since Ive successfully use their network products for a while now I trusted that it would work as advertised and I was right. This docking station fits my need perfectly. I have 2 older 24 monitors that have HDMI inputs. I also have an extra wired keyboard and mouse. I figured I was set. I hooked up the docking station to the laptop with the supplied high speed USB cable. One monitor I connected direct to the HDMI port on the docking station and the other to the DVI port using the DVI to HDMI adapter supplied with the docking station. Plugged in the power supply. I connected the keyboard and mouse to 2 of the USB 2.0 ports on the docking station. Since I use the laptop in the office on WiFi and the printer connected to the laptop by WiFi I didnt have to worry about the network connection or configuring the printer.. I fired it up and everything was groovy. I set up the laptop for dual monitor use and extended the desktop onto the 2nd monitor. I then set up the laptop so I could close the top and still work. Instant 2nd workstation! Best of all, all I need to do is detach the USB adapter from the laptop and take it when I want and just plug it when Im back. This is an ideal solution!

I’m in the process of setting up my home office and one device after another seems to clutter my desktop and it takes away from both the function and clean look that I want but this universal laptop docking station is working out better than I thought it would. First, I’ve been able to connect both my HP Win 11 laptop and my MacBook Pro to it. It also offers several USB connections that both the new MacBook Pro and HP laptops lack. Previously I had dongles coming out of both of them. Right now, it’s still on my desktop, beneath the dual monitor arms but I have a friend printing a bracket so I can mount it under the desktop on the opposite side of the desk lift button. It’s a sizable piece of equipment but, it has a lot of features and most of all, it works great!

I love that the cable that connects to my older laptop is a USB-A and not C, although an A to C adapter is included. I am using HDMI connection for my TV, and wireless mouse and keyboard adapters plugged into the USB ports. The external power supply helps the video signal will stay strong.

I’ve used multiple Wavlink docks at my work. This is my go-to brand. I purchased the WAVLINK USB 3.0 Universal Laptop Docking Station Dual Monitor for Windows and Mac for this reason. My wife works from home and has a MacBook laptop with 1 monitor. She also needs multiple USB ports. This Wavlink dock has 6 USB ports. It is a powered dock, vs a port replicator, so you need to have power nearby. This is a great dock if you are running 2 monitors with your laptop. One monitor needs to be VGA or DVI, while the other can be HDMI. You also get a network connection. I wish this dock had 2 HDMI ports and a couple of USB-C ports, but it doesn’t. This is a solid dock that should meet your needs if it has all the ports you need.

I was looking for a way to expand the connectivity and functionality of my laptop. This docking station while light on some of the modern ports (it lacks USB-C) and has 4 USB 2.0. It also has a DVI and HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, 6 USB Ports, Audio and Mic ports. This docking station is great for connecting a laptop to multiple devices and peripherals, such as monitors, keyboards, mice, speakers, printers, scanners, external hard drives or thumb drives. The dock is pretty compact coming in a bit smaller then the size of most laptop chargers. It has a slick feel somewhere between smooth plastic and Lego. It has a black plastic body with a no slip base that attracts dust pretty aggressively. The docking station has a variety of ports and slots that can accommodate different types of devices and cables. It has: - A USB 3.0 Type B port that connects to your laptop via a USB 3.0 cable (included) - x2 USB 3.0 Type A port - x4 USB 2.0 Type A port - A HDMI port - A DVI port - A Gigabit Ethernet port - A Headphone port - A Mic port It also comes with three converters - A USB Type A (Female) to USB Type C (Male) - A VGA (Female) to DVI (Male) - A HDMI (Female) to DVI (Male) The docking station also comes with a power adapter (12V/2A). I have been using the dock for about a while now, and I can say that it has definitely improved my laptop experience when I am stationary using a multiple monitor and mobile station setup. I use it for both work and entertainment purposes, and it allows me to connect my laptop to multiple devices and peripherals with ease. Some of the benefits that I have noticed from using the USB 3.0 Universal Laptop Docking Station are: Of course, the dock is not perfect and has some drawbacks as well. Most notably it has an older set of ports, DVI and only USB Type A with many being 2.0 is not ideal. However it is useful with my current peripherals.

This is a niche hub product, but it might suit you very well. PRO -Lots of USB 3 ports -3.5mm audio -Comparatively sturdy upright design for cable-heavy installations -HD @ 60hz, single monitor options somewhat better -2 year warranty CON -No support for HDCP -No host power -No DisplayPort -No 4K monitor support -No USB-C ports -Probably no fast-charge ports Im not certain, but I wonder whether this model is a transitional one? Perhaps thats the reason for the omitted port options. The niche appears to be this: -You have USB 3 and its your fastest available USB port -You have few USB-C format adapters -Youre not using DisplayPort -Your hub isnt going to be used for power (typically, Thunderbolt host hubs) For more, check the Synaptics / DisplayLink Wikipedia page to better understand the standard which certifies this device.

I have a lot of peripheral devices, including multiple displays, that I use with my laptop at my work station. It is a real pain to connect/disconnect all of them. This docking station was the answer to this problem. With the vertical form it keeps everything neat with most connections in the back but still has 4 USB-3.0 ports and a headset jack available from the front. It has enough weight to remain stable. I like this much better than those that lay flat.
