Laptop Docking Station Dual Monitor, 8-in-1 USB C Hub, 4K Dual Monitor with 2 HDMI, 1 Gbps Ethernet Hub, 85W Power Delivery, SD Card Reader for MacBook Pro, XPS and More (Charger not Included)

Thanks to the seller for the fast shipping. General: In short, recommended It is a cable terminal point for me. Some details: Happy to have Anker 8-in-1 device. Because I connected all my devives to one and all cables are less visible now. No connection problem with usb connected devices, monitors (2x27" monitors) and charging cable.

This dock has 2 HDMI ports, 2 USB 3 ports, and an Ethernet port. It has a USB C power input and a USB C connection to a PC. Only a single USB C connection to the PC is needed for power and all the signals which makes it ideal for connecting and disconnecting a laptop where it uses all the ports (I.e. Dual Displays, Ethernet, Wireless Mouse and Keyboard). The dock has a power feed through functionality but my laptop complains it needs more power to charge rapidly as the dock must take some out. It still charges but maybe the CPU does not operate at full speed. One aspect of docks I have come across is the USB ports don't always work until Windows has started up so the dock has to be unplugged and plugged back in. This appears to be the case. The USB C cable to the PC can be extended by means of an extension cable if required.

I've been very happy with this, except I've knocked a star off because my laptop often crashes if you unplug it when the laptop is in sleep mode. To be fair, this could well be a software problem with my laptop, and it's not a big inconvenience – I just have to remember to unsleep my laptop before unplugging if I want to use my laptop away from my desk.

Works perfectly for my needs. Thank you.

I've used three of these daily for over a year now and not had one issue with any of them. Speeds are great, expands the dreadful connectivity on those 'USB-C only' Macbooks perfectly and is actually rather compact. If anyone is worried about charging through these, don't be, I've charged through these all the time and had no issues. They are expensive, but I've bought cheaper ones that have died after a month so I was more than happy spending the money on multiple of these.

very good.. but reminder, if you have a Macbook, check ability to use dual monitor function

I bought this product after extensive research on USB-C hubs that gave me USB A, HDMI and a LAN cable Connection. This was prompted by my purchase of a brand new Dell XPS13 so called '2 in 1' laptop, which only had two USB-C ports and no USB A nor HDMI. I conversed with Anker over email to check the compatibility was OK for the Dell, and they assured me it was so I ordered one. The product (as ever with Anker) was exquisitely packaged and arrived on time . No software installation was nor is necessary because it uses Windows drivers I am told. On using the Hub I was able to connect my trackball mouse (USB A dongle), my external webcam (USB A cable) my second screen (HDMI) and my LAN cable to the router. All good! However, after a while I noticed that the HDMI connection to the monitor stopped working, on almost every session, and it has been impossible to know why (I tried it with two different HDMI monitors and with two different HDMI cables. in different combinations but the connection still would fail). The USB A connections do not fail - they keep going, as does the LAN connector. The only way I could re-instate the connection is to 'eject the USB C Hub' via Windows 'Safely Remove Hardware & Eject Media' function, physically remove it, then physically reconnect it after a few seconds. Only then would the HDMI connection resume. If I start the day with this process then as long as the Dell is not powered down or goes into sleep mode, the HDMI connection remains. If not, it breaks again. Given I bought my expensive Dell and the Hub to cater for the new world of Zoom in my work on which I rely, it has proven to be very inconvenient to have these HDMI dropouts. On contacting Anker about this they sent a replacement (very good customer service) and when that Hub behaved no differently, they did refund me (again very good customer service). I cannot fault Anker for their approach to customers and will continue to buy from them, however, I am still perplexed by the reason the Hub HDMI ports (there are two of them) disconnect the HDMI monitor in this way. This problem did not improve during that period even when Dell has regular updates to Windows and the BIOS. It is a mystery to me why it did not work. I know Dell sell heir own hub, at about three times the cost! - maybe this is what I will have to do to use HDMI monitors unless I buy a new USB C connected monitor. It was difficult to know how to rate the product here in this review. If it wasn't for the disconnections I would give it 5 stars, no question, as I do give Anker 5 stars for their customer service, no question. I did wonder if it is just a peculiarity about the Dell XPS 13 and this Hub, but I see plenty more customers have the same problem with the HDMI monitor connection who have different PC brands and types.

Not great. Only One hdmi port works after few uses. Other completely stopped
