Perfect solution for M1 M2 chips from apple
Expensive device but definitely the best solution for multiple screen issues found with the new macbooks.Super easy to install, just plug all your devices to the deck and connect the deck to your machine. You have the option to connect to your machine via USB or USB type C. Versatile and practical.For better use you need to install the display link app on your laptop. Once this is installed and detects the deck your laptop will be able to share with 2 external monitor while preserving the independent visualization on each screen. No delays and no issues with image clarity.This was the only solution for M1 chip macs that wont display in multiple screens. The one thing to note is that video streaming is no supported with safari when in this sharing mode. However, if you change and use firefox for the streaming the problem is solved and you can keep all your screens plus your streaming or live tv.Totally worth the price. The keyboard works smooth and same the mouse. Now everything is connected to the deck which leaves one of the usb type c ports free to charge your laptop.

2020 M1 Macbook Pro
I purchased this item as I started to use my 2020 M1 Macbook Pro at home a lot more. I already had 2 pre-existing monitors at my desk for gaming and my old pc and I wanted to use the power of my Macbook for Photo and Video Editing. I was skeptical of the price as it was an investment as such but decided to go for it since there was no other way of getting round single display support for the M1 Chip. It is annoying that is limited to only 1 display but went for the only workaround.The setup was very straightforward with a power cable and USB type-c cable for connecting to the Macbook. I installed the drivers from their website and installation took less than minutes. I connect all my HDMI cables to my monitors and intently the drivers took over and gave me 2 external monitors. I was really excited to have more workroom just from the power of a laptop.The driver works very well and I can even close my main screen and use the laptop like a normal computer in clamshell mode (Constant power needed). I am very happy with my purchase and if anyone is in the same situation to expand their workspace for their Macbook. I highly recommend it.The ports are very handy to have on the Display Docking station as I can connect external storage, Keyboards, Mice, and pretty much anything without any hassle. 5 Stars.

Great for its price, but has a few things to trip you up
I'll open this with the fact that the dock does everything it advertises once I figured out setup. I can use the USB ports via USB-C connection, it handles all peripherals I've thrown at it, and it drives a 4k monitor and a 1080p in addition to my laptop screen once I've installed the DisplayLink driver. It charges the laptop while in use.One minor gripe is the size of the power brick to drive the dock, it's a bit big but once it's behind a desk, it won't matter that much. I've also had one instance of the displaylink driver causing my screens to mirror and massively shrink in resolution, resulting in a pixelly screen with 0 space to be able to view windows to fix it. Problem was solved by unplugging from dock, restarting DisplayLink driver, and plugging back in.The main caveat that's never made clear on anything I've read is that DisplayLink requires you use DisplayPort. HDMI will not work, so if you're buying this for a Mac (I use an M1 Pro and an old Intel Pro), you will need to use the Display Port so make sure your monitor has those. I have had some luck with using a DisplayPort to HDMI cable for my monitors, but those cables are directional so be careful what you buy. Windows Laptops are able to use MST so should be fine with HDMI or DisplayPort.

Simple and Effective
I purchased this powered unit to replace a similar priced unpowered device to dock my laptop through my KVM setup (switching multiple devices between a single keyboard screen and mouse).The existing unpowered device was failing to provide connection consistency, particularly with the Ethernet. It was also overheating within minutes of use.The new unit was a sensible choice. It’s robust design handles all my connection needs without any issue.I have a DP and HDMI, Cat 7 Ethernet, two USB A and two USB C connections working seamlessly.I like the low profile and small footprint of the device. The power supply lead is around a metre.There’s also a couple of usb cables included which are useful to get the kit working. It’s easy enough to configure as needed.The price is reasonable. I have tried a number of expensive unpowered cable management / adapter options which have all failed to provide a consistent connection, which is an important requirement for me.Others may have different views based on their experiences.

FAILED AFTER A YEAR
What can I say? Worked perfectly for about a year and half and then suddenly the device is not being recognised. USB driver port failed restart, connecting and disconnecting all the time. Tried to change cables and nothing. Tried it on another pc and still nothing. Tried updating drivers and STILL NOTHING.What to say. Have fun with it until it lasts.

Great piece of kit, easy to use!
I have been using this docking station for about 6 weeks and it was really easy to set-up with two monitors using HDMI cables, both monitors are working independently which is what I wanted. I am able to drag windows between the two screens. I literally plugged in the monitors and connected to my laptop via the USB-C cable and it was plug and play. I have even plugged in the dongle for my wireless keyboard and mouse (logitech) and these are working without any annoying delays. Would definitely recommend this as an easy to use and really well functioning docking station.
