Plugable USB-C Triple Monitor Docking Station 13-in-1 Laptop Dock with 100W Charging for Mac DisplayLink Driver Required Windows

This works great! I have three external monitors connected to my laptop and no problems. I originally had this connected to an older laptop (4 years old) and was having problems with one of the monitors. The tech support (Josh) was excellent. They responded quickly, spent a lot of time helping me solve the problem. Eventually I changed to my newer laptop (1 year old) and it worked perfect from the start. The addition of additional ports on the docking station as well as an Ethernet port allows for faster connectivity and enhanced productivity by allowing even more devices to be connected. If you want a plug and play device out of the box for multiple external monitors, this is the solution. I included a picture of my setup (excuse the mess as I had just finished painting and was setting the room back up). You can see the monitor count and their identities on the screen. Read more

I read alot of reviews and bought this used. I have used it with my Galaxy book which only has a USB C video out. This works great. It charges my little laptop and will run my TV and projector. Sound can be played out thru the USB or out thru the 3.5mm. Surround sound works well also. I had some driver issues at first but those have been resolved. No issues anymore. It can also just be used as a charger if I need it for only that. It's very versatile. Worth the money if you need it for that. I have not been able to get it to work with my note 8 though. It does not seem to support phones. Or at least the one I have. I have no others in which to try it. *Update 07/2019 I have moved twice now with my job. I still have my galaxy book and it's in my living room as I no longer use it for work. It's hooked up to the TV with a USB to hdmi dongle and doing fine. I didn't think I would use this dock anymore tbh. But I had bought a laptop to do a bit of gaming and light music mixing and editing with and like many older laptops I'd had over the past several years they would have had an hdmi out along with a vga. This laptop did not. But it did have usb 3.0 so I plugged the Plugable back in and ran a USB 3.0 to USB C which I had been using to charge my phone but was rated to transfer data and do video. And it took actually nothing but getting the connections correct and I had 3 monitors. 1 hdmi, one usb C running thru the dock and one running one the laptop itself. All were separate and extended. None mirrors. I can play Netflix or YouTube on any of the 3 and can see no lag. I have not tried gaming but I doubt it will hold up as well but who knows. I'm not the expert. I'm just surprised it works at all. I can plug in all my keyboards and my mouse into the plugable as well. No issues. I even have a Logitech wireless keyboard plugged into it. My sound is routed elsewhere thru a soundboard and such but I'm still impressed it works. This hub is impressive and keeps delivering no matter what I throw at it in so many different configurations. This is a long review for me. I don't review tech. I usually don't care enough to review it but when something impresses me I will give it the many accolades. After how this started out so expensive and with poor reviews. Well it was just ahead of its time. Like my 1997 Onkyo home theater system that them costs thousands and still holds up. I like older tech that really was way ahead of its time. Or can stand the test of time. But usually in tech it's the one who can improve on the innovation that makes the biggest impact. Not the inventor. The innovator. Read more

I am running a Macbook Pro 2016 with Touchbar. I've been looking for a dock that would ultimately end the "dongle hell" as I've been running off of those dongles for over a year and between them sliding out, poor performance or simply having to disconnect and connect other dongles to accomplish other items, it was a frustrating experience. Enter in when I decided to purchase this item last week, DisplayLink technology which is leveraged in the docking station has had issues with Mac OS 10.13+, however, the latest beta of Mac OS Mojave has re-added support in for DisplayLink allowing these to work properly and I went ahead with the purchase. I have been quite pleased, there is certainly performance differences such that DisplayLink causes some delays and that can be an aggravation factor at times but having the ability to be back to a "normal" setup, I can honestly say, I am more than pleased with the experience thus far. Read below for the full review. Pros: * Multiple Displays * Plethora of Ports * Built-in Ethernet * Headphone and Microphone Jack Cons: * DisplayLink Software Performance * Secondary USB-C port limited to 1.5A * No Memory Card Reader * Third Monitor Port not HDMI/DP Initial Setup: I initially unboxed everything and downloaded the DisplayLink installer, I ended up having to manually configure the DisplayLink agent for the mac as it did not auto-install itself. The installation will require a reboot. After doing this, I then hooked up all of my monitor cables and a couple USB devices. I connected my Mac power adapters USB-C / Thunderbolt cable from the docking station to my Macbook. I could only get a single monitor to display (The 2K one not the 4K which is a direct pass-through). After going through all other options, I used the provided cord instead of the one from my mac power adapter and the 2nd display turned on and ready to use! Therefore, DO NOT use your mac power adapters cord but rather use the provided cord with the unit, otherwise the 4K HDMI/DP WILL NOT WORK. Up and Running: The unit is nice and compact, leaving me with being able to hide it behind my monitor and attach it to the laptop. I can easily switch between more of a "desktop" environment and go mobile quickly without worrying about the 5 dongles that used to be thrown about and worrying about connecting each one (or as it happens, searching for said dongle after it falls off of the desk). I am now using 2 HDMI ports, the Ethernet port, all 3 USB ports. The only port I am not using is the headphone port as there is not a need to do so since I work from my home office and noise is not of a concern. The performance has overall been "good" not "great". This is mainly due to the DisplayLink drivers sometimes causing a bit of a visual lag or causing a lag with the Macbook itself. This is not a consistent problem but does happen from time to time. That's not necessarily a hardware issue but rather a software issue with DisplayLink which will slowly be ironed out (they are not known for their quickness in resolving problems). Future Considerations? * Having a memory card reader. * Having a secondary usb-c / thunderbolt port that is not limited to 1.5A. * Removal of DisplayLink technology * Change the 3rd display port to be the same as the HDMI/DP Read more
