Quality product with plug and play functionally and plenty of connectivity and a great price!
The title says it all, I have been using this dock for just under a week. I currently have M1 Max MacBook Pro 16 Inch 2021 running the latest release version at the time of this writing. The dock is smaller than I expected and well built. It feels very solid and a finish similar to my Mac. It worked immediately when I plugged it. I was most concerned about the video. At home I have a single large screen and I use a KVM. I plugged the HDMI output into my KMV and it worked perfectly from the start. Both the KVM and monitor support 4K and there were no issues. I also tried it out by connecting it directly to my monitor and use the Laptop as a second display. Again no issues here, OSX is finicky on arranging screens and no reflection on the dock. I have the same issue at work all the time. Once I have the screens arranged they stay even when the machine goes to sleep. I tested in the office with my dual screens again plug and play. No issues with resolution or performance. I will be getting one of these for the office too. The cable between the Mac and dock is excellent quality. It connects securely and will not fall out. I did not test the USB port speeds and will at some point in the future but I have not noticed any issues either in performance or support. Everything has been plug and play on the first try. I use Fusion 360 and a Space Mouse which is picky on connect and disconnect. Again here no issues, this is a critical acid test in my opinion because other devices have no handled this well. This dock does not come with a power supply. At first this concerned me until I realized its more flexible. Unlike my other more expensive dock this will work with or without power. So when I am at home I can use a dedicated power supply. However when I go on the road I just bring the dock no power brick that only works with the dock. I can use my Mac power adapter that I plug directly in to the Mac or into the dock (USB C port). If the power adapter is connected to the dock the Mac then get power via the Dock this reduces what I have to pack on business trips. Conclusions: Better functionality better flexibility and I can drive two monitors and truly plug and play. Most importantly less expensive than other docks of similar or less functionality. Highly recommended. Read more
