Triple-4K Monitor Docking Station
I have been waiting on this device to hit the market all year and it did not disappoint. I purchased the new MacBook Pro with the USB-C ports earlier this year and have been waiting for a docking station that could handle my extra 2 monitors and could utilitize the USB-C cable to charge my laptop while also passing the data, sound, video, etc. It is simple to hook up an...

Using latest 8.5 drivers @ may 2018 If I plug HDMI monitor, it works As soon as I plug any extra Display Port monitors, the HDMI port stops working. If I unplug both Display Port monitors, HDMI monitor works again

Works really well. Thank you Startech!
I have owned mine for a couple years. I have a Macbook Pro, always upgraded to the most current Mac OS. I use three DisplayLink monitors, plus a third HDMI. And every port is pegged: speakers, microphone, thumb drive, webcam, everything works great.

Works with Mac Pro 13 2020 and Big Sur
I just installed this with my MacBook Pro 13 2020 Intel and it worked after getting the following things fixed in my scenario: 1.) Install the Displaylink Manager for MacOs (search on Google) 2.) Use the provided cable to connect MacBook to docking station. I had a brand new quality USB-C cable (longer cable) and the screen attached to the displayport was not discovered...

Almost good, not great compatibility
Got this for work. For many months, was using my two identical ASAUVG275 monitors with it using identical DisplayPort cables. Never managed to get more than 60Hz. By chance, connected an HDMI cable to one of the monitors, and discovered that through HDMI the docking station does support 75Hz. Running latest Intel drivers on my laptop, latest Window and latest Display li...

Fine print is missing
They claim it will work on 3 displays. What they don't tell you is that those displays need to be of particular types. this product will NOT work on your thunderbolt displays. But you wouldn't find that mentioned anywhere in the description. And then they'll just try to sell you something else. LAME.

Works great with Apple Silicon MBPs
It works well with the M1-based MBP. This way I can have three external screens as opposed to just one the M1 supports out of the box. Besides that, I have logitech mouse dongle, webcam, keyboard and an external drive connected, and it works great. Its well designed and the colour scheme works well with the macbook.

I bought this in the last couple of years when using the 15 inch mac and sound and ethernet used to work. 4K Monitors were kind of flaky and I preferred the 60Hz performance so ended up plugging them directly to laptop usb-c ports. It was not as good as I expected but workable. Now when I tried it with the 16 inch mbp using Catalina the sound and ethernet have also stop...

we deploy these to 100's of HP Laptops in out environment they work great. In fact, they work many times better than the HP branded USB-C docks.

Does not provide stable power to Dell XPS 9300
Dock seems to only work correctly when the XPS-13 9300 is also connected to its own 45W PSU or if an USB type-A to type-C cable is used in combination with the Dell provided DBQBJBC054 (effectively running on battery power only). If the XPS-13 is purely connected to the dock, it keeps reconnecting over and over. It does so with and without displays connected to the dock...

Only HDMI works
The HDMI connection works as expected! Unfortunately, the Display Port connections do not work. The PC does not recognize any other monitors.

Great dock
This has been a great dock, driving 3 monitors at 4K resolution with no issues. However, I wanted to get a longer USB-C cable due to space on the desk. I ordered what I thought was a quality cable online, but only two monitors work through it. Switching the original cable back in works fine. Are then minimum cable specs I can look for to find another?

Great... except for hissing
Had this dock for a while and I like almost everything about it. Right after I got it, Apple broke DisplayLink, but that was fixed eventually. But, right from the beginning, my MacBook Pro would hiss when it was connected to the dock. Internal speakers or external. it's related to the USB-C connection between the dock and the laptop though. As soon as I plug in the regu...

Amazing, has all the ports you'd ever need.
This dock has been fantastic for me. It's lightweight and easily portable. I have two monitors hooked up to it, one is a 4k screen and the other a 1080p and both work great. This dock actually works better than my unstable Dell TB16 dock. Make sure when you first plug it in to let it sit plugged into your computer for 5 minutes or so because Windows has to go out and lo...

Amazing!
If you are someone who needs a lot of monitors, this is an excellent docking station. All this new technology makes setting these up very quick, and in my case, completely automatic. I planned all my cables and monitor placement in advance, and after plugged in everything and turning it on, my laptop screen blinked once and all the monitors came to life. A few minutes o...

Works Perfectly
I bought this dock for a new Lenovo Yoga 910. It worked perfectly out of the box, runs a 4K LG monitor and numerous peripherals, was essentially plug and play. Very pleased, my experience with OEM docks has been mixed at best in the past. Good work, StarTech.

A Great USB-C Docking Station that has Everything
I have been in the AV/IT Integration space for over 30 years. I found this unit easy to setup and use on my Dell, HP and Toshiba Laptops. The unit installs quickly and is compatible with a variety of operating systems, which I tested. There was no tearing of the video or audio sync issues during my testing. It was easy to set up two DisplayPort monitors, and on one HDMI...
