Ever since Displaylink, the driver software provider, has released the USB 3.0 tech and drivers, there have been constant errors with Direct3d in games which is part of DirectX. They have patches for some graphics cards, but none for NVIDIA yet. If you have a NVIDIA and only play games without DirectX than this would be a perfectly acceptable docking station. If you have a NVIDIA and play games on steam or any other DirectX system, you will not be able to use the docking station and play the game. If you are the latter, check the Displaylink forums for updates on the drivers that would patch this issue. Just make sure your laptop is compatible before buying!

I never got to find out if the Targus was any good or worked well. I'd bought the USB 3.0 with power, but there was no power tip that matched the Spectre Ultrabook 14T-3200 I purchased. Salesperson said it would, but didn't. Contacted Targus and, after first saying there was a match, they came back and acknowledged there was not. Would still work as just a port replicator, but too expensive for just that. I returned it. So, it may work well for others computers, but be aware it may not.

Overall this is a very good and stable hub. No disconnections, flickers, no hiccups. If you are going to use this with a Windows 8 PC, please do NOT install the drivers that came in the box. Go to their website, find it by model # (look in the box) and then get the software from there. If you get the latest drivers, everything works. Only one complaint. I use 2 extra monitors, DVI and USB, every now and then in the extra monitors there is a small problem with the mouse cursor where it jumps. I don't know if this is a Windows 8 problem or a problem with the HUB. For me it is not a big issue because the extra monitors are just to keep other windows that I don't use that often for reference. Overall for me it works, allows me to just plug in one USB cable to my notebook and looks cleaner.

Connection to computer is through USB cord - not explained in documentation. The power connector for the HP Envy does not engage well and also does not stay in. Apple magnetic system is much better.

A lot of rumblings about this dock. I too had some issues upon first starting, but they were quickly resolved. Instructions said for Win 7 to just plug it in. Well, nothing happened until I used the available installation CD. From there, everything went as it should. The available assortment of power adapters are a nice touch as this should work with most laptops out there. I used the inclosed DVI to VGA adapter so that it's a simple process to go from my desktop to laptop using the 23 inch LG monitor. One thing I've read it should be worth noting is that I checked my USB 3 Host Controller Driver to make sure I had the latest. My laptop came with the latest driver so nothing required from me there but I'd certainly make sure before plugging everything in. It's always nice when things work like they should, and so far, I highly recommend this dock.
