PlugableUSB 3.0 and USB-C Dual 4K Display Docking Station with DisplayPort and HDMI for Windows and Mac (Dual 4K DisplayPort & HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, Audio, 6 USB Ports) Vertical

Some issue with the sound jack. No sound

I recently bought MacBook Air M2 2022 and discovered that I can not use 2 additional monitors unless I have a specialised docking station with "Display Link" technology. Secondly challenge was that I use Windows Laptop for my daily office use. So I had to find a docking station which could be used with both Windows Laptop and MacBook Air M2. After searching internet for few days, I found this Plugable Docking Station, I was initially little sceptical but, when I setup the docking station, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality, ease and perfection of this gadget. I can easily use this docking station with both my Windows Laptop and MacBook Air M2 with 2 additional monitors. I use 1 USB-C cable which works with both Windows and MacBook laptops and can be easily switched between them in seconds.It might be little expensive but it is worth every single penny when it adds convenience and performance in your daily desk work life.

Great product and easy to setup

Purchased this for its Displaylink support, this enables you to run dual external monitors on the M1 macs which is not natively supported (at time of writing this). Great product, works really well, no noticeable latency when running two external monitors in extended mode, all ports work as expected. However, as noted in the spec this dock will not charge your Mac.

This almost works perfectly. The bad part is when your computer goes idle, you have to unplug and replug the hubs power. Image quality is great! USB connections great! Easy software to download and use.Works great with Mac Air M1. You could get the charging port but option for $100 AUD more but honestly I wouldn’t bother unless you have usb-c peripherals. Very happy with this.

The first thing you will notice about this product is the price. It is £160, which seems a bit ridiculous for what this unit provides.The unit comes well packaged in a strong sturdy box, it is very nice to see particularly with such an expensive product.As you would hope, the build quality is excellent. It has nice smooth connectors and quality cabling. The exterior even feels nice to touch. It also looks like professional equipment that you might see in a design office. Top marks all round.These are my main likes and dislikes for this product:Like:Top-notch build qualitySimple-but-stylish designSmooth connectionsMeets the stated specificationsDual 4K 60hz monitor supportM1 Macbook support for two displaysDislike:Very high priceNo PD laptop fast-chargingNo HDCP support (needed for copyright media)No memory card slots—----------Performance is overall good, with everything working to the specification. You will have to download software to get full laptop integration, but it’s free from the website.So what we have here is a very high-quality hub, at a very high price. The reality is that the many cheaper docks available can do everything this does, for half the price or less.Its ability to use two monitors with M1 Macbooks is one area where it has an advantage over the cheaper hubs, as most will not support this. Apart from this I can’t think of a reason not to go with the cheaper alternatives.Overall it’s a nice piece of design that is not worth the asking price.Note: I am giving it four stars for the Macbook users, otherwise it is three stars only.
