Plugable12-in-1 USB C Triple Monitor Docking Station, Triple 4K Displays with 3x HDMI or 3x DisplayPort, Compatible with Mac, Windows, Thunderbolt, USB4, USB-C (60W PD, 6x USB Ports, Ethernet)

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.

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.

I'm using this with an M1 Macbook Air. Since with M1 MacBooks, more than 1 monitor is not supported but with the help of this dock, I've managed to use 2 monitors without a problem. All you need to do is install DisplayLink software and that's it. The only con is, it can't charge from the Macbook, but I don't mind that really. Haven't had any disconnection problems so far, and hopefully not in the future.

At odd times it would lose the devices connected randomly. This is fine if you are not constantly using them but when you have monitors, mouse keyboard all connected it is extremely unusable to keep rebooting the device to pick them up again. Otherwise the product is fine for light use

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.

When I realised that the M1 macbook didn't support 2 monitors I was annoyed. But thankfully this device allows you to use displaylink to add as many as you like. Very good device, bit expensive though.

Due to its technology used, streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime videos cannot be streamed on the browser without switching off hardware acceleration in the browser settings.

I bought this after buying a new Macbook Air M1 which doesn't support 2 monitors natively. This docking station has loads of ports and just requires a software driver. I am now able to connect 2 HDMI monitors to the laptop as well as USB devices.Would recommend

I'm currently running two AOC 32" 1440p, 144hz monitors off of this dock, plugged into my 2020 Macbook Air M1, and this dock works perfect! No more single-monitor limitation (props to Apple for the ingenuity there).For starters, it's important to note that you have to install the drivers from Plugable before DisplayLink can connect to a second or third monitor. This is not a difficult process despite what another review claimed.Also worth noting is the color difference between the two scrreens. HDMI1 is just a passthrough and is not being rendered by the DisplayLink driver. Personally I like this because it allows for more bandwidth rather than trying to render three displays using my Macbook CPU. If you have dual displays, plug them into slots 2 and 3 and you'll have perfect color matching.But here's a major caveat that's frustrating about this dock. The ethernet port originally worked great, but once I upgraded my Macbook to 12.3, my ethernet crippled to a halt (I'm on the latest drivers fwiw). I was able to do a workaround by plugging a Dell USB to Ethernet adapter into one of the dock's USB3 ports and I'm now at full speeds, but this is a pretty big deal on a $250 docking station. I'll be reaching out to Plugable Support and see what they can do to resolve this, then posting back.**Update: This is the reply I received from Plugable about the Ethernet Adapter: > Thank you for contacting us, I am sorry this is not working as expected and I am happy to help! > We have had quite a few reports of similar behavior and are investigating an issue with the UD-6950PDZ Ethernet controller, at this time we do not have a specific cause or resolution for this behavior. > We are recommending affected users connect to the network either via WiFi, or using a USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter connected to the docking station, bypassing the onboard Ethernet connection. If you do not have a Gigabit capable USB 3.0 Ethernet adapter I would be happy to send you an adapter that can be used with the docking station while we work on this issue.**Update2: Plugable recently reached out and offered to replace my docking station with their updated model. Since I had returned this one, I did not reply, but updating you 5 stars assuming the Ethernet issue has been resolved

Does the job. No latency issues I've seen running 3 external 4K monitors (LG). A great solution for Macbook Air M1 (non-Pro or Max). Charges macbook pretty quickly. Feels like a high quality stationary dock. Power brick is about the same size, but I have that placed out of sight. Big supporter and user of Plugable docks since the first gen Surface Pro (the small thick one) which still works perfectly today, so have a bit of confidence in the longevity of Plugable's products.

やや古めのMacでマルチモニターやりたくて買った。買って正解。

Great product and easy to setup

Works well. Bought the 2nd one. Would be better if they have a 4 HDMI/DP option.
