Anker Laptop Docking Station 14 in 1 USB C Hub Triple Display with 2 x 4K HDMI 1080p

The main reason I purchased the Anker 14-in-1 USB-C Docking Station was to create a single workstation where I can easily swap between my home and work laptops while using the same peripherals—two monitors, keyboard and mouse, audio headset, and several external storage devices. It met all my needs and has exceeded my expectations. It instantly transformed my laptop into a full desktop workstation with just one cable. Setup was completely plug-and-play—no drivers needed—and everything worked right out of the box. Power delivery has been excellent. It charges my laptop while driving all connected accessories without any problems. The build quality is exactly what I expect from Anker—solid, well-designed, and premium-feeling—and it remains stable even under heavy use. That said, there are a few important things to note. Without a power input connected to the hub, only one HDMI output can be used for an external monitor, and the second display must remain on the laptop. I also use a Logitech USB-A Unifying receiver through the hub, and occasionally the keyboard and mouse performance is not as responsive as when plugged directly into the laptop. The dock can also get warm to the touch, which is expected with higher workloads, current, and power draw. Since the beginning of the pandemic, I’ve been working from home and do everything I can to preserve the life of my equipment, including running a small USB-A fan 24/7 to keep things cool—and I’ve had no issues so far. This dock has been a huge productivity boost and keeps my desk clean and organized with a simple single-cable connection. For the price, it offers excellent value compared to many other docks that cost much more and offer less. Read more

Worked out very well. Allowed me to connect two monitors, HDMI, 3 USB and one Ethernet cable up. Flawless with no issues. Unplugged hub into one of the USBC ports on my laptop. Great price versus the doc designs for the laptop. Read more

Works great and was super easy to set up. Hooked up my Surface Laptop 4 to a couple of monitors, my speakers, microphone, keyboard and mouse and still have the front 3 USB ports and the front USB C port available. All was simple plug and play. Read more

EDIT: Anker customer service reached out after seeing my review and offered a replacement. Great customer service, so raising my review from 3 to 4 stars! Overall it works pretty good. Bought it because I’ve always had good luck with Anker. However I have 2 monitors hooked up to it via HDMI and after the return window closed, the second monitor started going black for a few second randomly. It comes back on, but it blanks out very randomly. No way to predict when it will do it. Sometimes it’s a lot, sometimes it doesn’t happen all day. Very strange. Overall it’s very handy though and use it daily at work. Read more

Love this docking station. It’s sleek doesn’t take up a lot of room on my desk and is working seamlessly with the HP laptop I have it connected to. I’m running 2 monitors with it and a dongle for my Jabra headphones. I was concerned at first that it did not come with its own power source, however that doesn’t seem to be an issue and it’s pulling power from the laptop. This particular HP I’m using was not a fan of my prior docking station having its own power source. There doesn’t seem to be any lag time between the laptop and the monitors I’m connecting too. Really happy with this purchase. Read more

I just got a brand-new Asus Vivobook S14 with Intel Core Ultra 7, 32 GB of memory, 1 TB storage. I have two (an Asus and a Samsung) 1920 x 1080 displays and an older Dell (1280 x 1024) display using VGA or DVI-HDMI cable. I used to connect the Asus laptop to the Asus display and the old Dell display using another Anker USB C hub with one ethernet port and one 1 HDMI port for the Dell display. The Asus display connected to the laptop using a built-in HDMI port. This old three-display setup worked well. When I received this new Anker four-display device, I first connected the Dell (via DVI-HDMI cable) to one HDMI port and the Asus display to the other HDMI port. After a short moment, the Dell display started going off and on. The interval was around 15 - 20 seconds. Windows still showed the laptop connected to two external display. I thought the DVI-HDMI cable may be incompatible with this new hub, so I used a VGA-VGA cable to connect to the VGA port on the hub. I then connected two other displays to the two HDMI ports. I only got visual on the laptop, the Asus, and the Dell displays. The Samsung display was dark. When I selected the option to extend the laptop display to the 4th display (Samsung), the Samsung display showed the visual, but the laptop display went dark. In other words, I only got three displays at once, not four. I checked the photos on the product page again and confirmed that the unit should have shown different visuals on all four (laptop, Dell, Asus, and Samsung) displays. By the way, I was unable to screw the two VGA cable thumbscrews to the device. It appears the holes were too deep inside the unit so the screws could not reach them. I have been using a bunch of Anker products. This one damaged Anker's reputation for sure. Read more

Works as intended and is small enough not to be in the way on desk. Needed a way to connect charger, extra monitor, webcam and mouse/keypad usb Read more
