    $170 and no USB-PD for charging the laptop. The whole point of USB C docks is that you only have a single cable for both data and power. Hard pass.

    • dyziplen on 02/02/2020 - 15:43

      Pretty much, whats the point of a dock, if you can't keep it docked?

    This is the problem with USB-C.
    You pay $170 and the USB-C specification is only USB 3.0 compliant, provides no USB-PD.

    These USB 3.0 devices use a software driver to emulate a graphics adapter, which compresses the video signal, and sends the data to a low-cost integrated chip inside the docking station, where it is decompressed and sent to the display monitor.

    So you lose graphics performance, lose CPU performance, and your USB-C computer probably supports a better USB standard that doesn't have these problems.
    These devices are passable for office work, web browsing, and maybe light YouTube, but most games will never work (because of the emulated graphics adapter).

    The best option is to use USB-C monitors that have a downstream USB-C port with USB-PD.

      There's lot of work that needs lots of screen real estate, but not lots of graphics speed. e.g. spreadsheets, coding.

      I can imagine that this would useful for those purposes.

        Yep definitely, there are use cases.

        It's just important to know what you're buying. In this case you're not just buying a monitor dongle, but a whole graphics adapter too (which is probably why the price is quite a bit higher than single monitor docking stations).

        • hkborderzone on 02/02/2020 - 19:24

          Do you have a recommendation for a good dock with USB-PD?

          • randomdude on 02/02/2020 - 19:53

            I recently got the UD-ULTCDL which has 1x Native USB-C display output and 2x "Software" DisplayLink outputs. USB-C PD 60W too.

            Pluggable go through all the ins and outs of the hardware, what to expect from each port etc - quite transparent

      Agreed.

      If you are looking to upgrade a monitor, definitely skip a dock and get a modern monitor with USB-C PD and additional USB-A ports.
      This also keeps the desk clean

      The best option is to use USB-C monitors that have a downstream USB-C port with USB-PD.

      Yep, that's what we use at work. 4k, USB-PD and hub all onboard. Perfect solution. Most importantly, it uses the PC graphics card instead of a dodgy hub.

  • fatice on 02/02/2020 - 17:38

    I am using a macbook, is there a cheaper way to expand another 2 displays on it other than this?

    • guidedlight on 02/02/2020 - 18:14

      It depends on your Macbook model. If it's the standard (non-Pro) Macbook with one USB-C port, then this deal is probably fine.

    • justdigi on 02/02/2020 - 19:08

      What version of OS though? From the post:

      NO SUPPORT on Mac os 10.13.4 or later.

      • fatice on 02/02/2020 - 19:30

        mine is an old one bought in 2013. It does not have USB C, no secondary display/vga/dvi/hdmi port. :(

        • guidedlight on 02/02/2020 - 19:47

          A 2013-era Macbook should have a Thunderbolt/Mini Display port on it.
          If so, something like this should work.. Mini DisplayPort to Dual HDMI adapter.

          Just a note that often the computer won’t likely detect these as two separate displays, but one single expanded display that spans two monitors. But it’s a low cost option.

    no usb-pd but 170? that's a little overpriced for my tastes

  • DaDiesel on 03/02/2020 - 14:00

    sigh i just bought this last Tuesday at $187..

  • madseason on 05/02/2020 - 11:00

    Can anyone recommend another dock with similar specs but includes PD? For use with with my Dell XPS13 and looking to buy two 4K monitors for home setup.
