when i bought this hub i had a couple of problems with the hub right out of the box. i was busy fixing other things on other machines and missed the Amazon exchange window and reached out to Anker via their email providing them with a description of the problem, it was dropping a monitor and eventually was cycling my ethernet off and on constantly.their customer service returned my email on the same day and flawlessly provided me with things to check and eventually sent me a new device and a shipping label for the bad one. just hooked up the new hub and it's running like a new buick. this is my second all i one hub i bought from Anker and i will continue to buy their products in the future for the quality of their products and that of their customer service.Thank you Anker!

I picked up this Anker 13-in-1 Laptop Docking Station, and it’s been a game-changer for my setup. It has tons of ports, including USB-C, HDMI, Ethernet, SD card slots, and more, making it super convenient to connect all my devices in one place.The build quality feels solid, and everything works smoothly. The HDMI ports support dual monitors without any lag, and the charging pass-through keeps my laptop powered up while using multiple peripherals. It’s also plug-and-play, so setup was quick and easy.If you need a reliable docking station with plenty of connectivity options, this is a great choice. Works perfectly for work, gaming, or just decluttering your desk. Highly recommend!

**UPDATE** Now my rear USB port has died--the only one of two standard ports that didn't hiccup and glitch. This thing worked FAIR (front USB port always glitchy) for about a year and a half--MINUS any Mac capacities--and now is essentially an aftermarket power brick. The combination of misrepresented functionality (no Mac support despite showing Mac use), faulty design (front USB unreliable, irregular power supply to dual monitors), and poor reliability (multiple ports and functions dead within 18 months) have serious undermined my former respect for this brand.DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.(ORIGINAL REVIEW:)Disappointing.First, it was not clear to me when I purchased this that it would not allow me to extend screens from my MacBook. There is now a slide that shows that all Mac screens will be identical. It’s possible I missed that a year and a half ago at purchase, but I think I would have noticed. In any case, claiming this is Mac compatible is inane. I don’t know anyone who purchases a docking hub so they can see 3+ screens of the SAME THING.Mac users, beware.I was willing to attribute that to careless comparisons on my part—partly based on a very high opinion of Anker in general. BUT unfortunately the problems do not end there.Though there are two standard USB ports, the way in which this device is wired makes it difficult to use them. If I place my keyboard dongle in the front USB port, and insert a flash drive into the USB-C port next to it, there is suddenly an irregular lag to my mouse movements. I cannot work all day with my mouse lagging.Of course I can move the dongle to the rear of the unit, but now my printer cable is projecting from the front and that’s the whole point of having rear USB ports. In short, why design the ports in a way that they interfere with each other?ANOTHER ISSUE is flickering in my monitor screen sometimes. I looked online and the only solution I found is turning down the refresh rate because “60 Hz on each screen is a lot for the hub to handle”. I thought 60 Hz was pretty much standard so again I’m not sure why a device would be advertised as handling up to three screens if two was going to tax it. This problem also seems intermittent but it ought to happen never.LASTLY, just this past week, the device suddenly can no longer extend more than one screen on my Windows work computer. I’ve tried two computers and multiple cables but whatever I do Windows will not recognize that I have two monitors attached and allow me to extend them. Both monitors are actually live and connected but show the same image, so somehow the hub has lost the ability to differentiate between them.Now the hub is useless. I have disconnected my second monitor from the hub and connected it directly to my laptop. I have actually moved my keyboard/mouse dongle and attached it directly to the laptop as well. This removes all purpose for having a hub at all. And again, this is for my Windows work computer—my MacBook has all these issues but would not extend screens even when the hub was fully functional.I bought this because I had faith in the Anker brand and because it was slightly less expensive than the hub Apple promoted on its website. I regret this purchase. Now I have a $150 hub that combines only two of the five cable connections I connect and disconnect every time I move my computer from work to home.Very, very disappointed. Pay more to get a better and more reliable product.

I have had no issues running this with my work laptop HP Laptop running Windows 10 and my Dell Inspiron 17 running Ubuntu 20.10/Windows 10. Both laptops charge, and all ports seem to work well. In general, the worst part of the USB-C format is the confusing amount of different laptops that seem to implement it in different ways. Not this product's fault; as I said, it works well with Dell and HP while my HP Laptop dock runs with both laptops, but under Ubuntu or Windows 10 on my Dell, it falls short. The HP Dock is a Thunderbolt dock, and my Dell is a Display port marked with a DP; the DP Port on my Dell does charge and allows all ports to work with this dock. I mention it because USB-C gets confusing, and mileage may vary depending on the laptop itself. My Hp is marked as Thunderbolt, and my Dell as Display Port, and this product runs wonderfully with both. I found I could get a 4k Display using the DP port on the back of the dock in Ubuntu, but I found it a little problem some and instead switched to using the two HDMI ports instead. Sometimes 4k would flicker, but that can be my older KVM Switch (1080P KVM). I don't mind the two 1080p screens as the dock makes it so easy to switch computers. I wonder why the HDMI port only seems to pump out 1080P and the display port 4k from my experience. Still, my HP dock didn't do 4k at all, so this dock outperformed it. I have even booted my Dell and HP Laptops with a live USB of MX Linux, and with no configuration, it worked. I just changed the display settings a bit.So to sum it up.1) Easy to use - NO Drivers to install!2) Works across Windows and Linux.3) Affordable and better than my work HP Thunderbolt dock.4) Works with USB-C marked PD or Thunderbolt.Finally, I would like to say the PD port can get confusing another port format for USB-C. At first, I thought it did not work as I plugged in USB-C devices, and it was not recognized. Then I upgraded to a new Samsung phone with USB-C PD charging support, and it charged and was recognized from the PD port on the dock. So the device has to support USB-C PD. As I said, USB-C is confusing. Now, what are you waiting for? Buy this best Dock on Amazon; it is excellent for Windows and, more importantly, great with Linux. If you have Thunderbolt, the big thing you get from a Thunderbolt dock is the quicker data transfer speeds, but you need to know your laptop supports it. For me, I don't care about my work laptop having maximum data transfer speed. As I said, Thunderbolt does work with this also from what I can tell.1/26/2024 - I am updating this because I also wanted to note that this works great with the Surface Pro 7. The only exception is the built in wired network does not seem to get recognized, but I don't care. I am using WIFI anyway. So Sound, video, and all other devices work perfectly.
