To address the rating system before me, to choose from:>Overall Rating--- I give it 5 stars (I'll explain).>Tech Support --- I choose "Not Rated" - None necessary (see "Overall Rating" above).>Value For Money- I give it 4 stars (I'll explain)>Sleep Mode ------- I choose "Not Rated" (if someone can explain w t f "Sleep" is, I could rate it)I was skeptical to use this as I expected failure.I'm running a DELL laptop with,1 LAN2 USB 2.01 USB 3.01 HDMI1 Audio OutAnd the usual Micro Card reader/writterI have 2 identical, 24 " LED Acer monitors, each with,1 DVI port1 VGA portThe following is how I have two monitors running successfully , IN CONJUNCTION WITH, a laptop, a secondary [cabled], keyboard and a Bluetooth mouse [Logitech mouse, old DELL kbd]:This "Box" is connected to the Laptop by a true, USB 3.0 cable toUSB 3.0 (Port 1)Secondary Keyboard --> USB 3.0 (Port 2)Monitor 1 --> DVI to HDMI [F] Converter -->> HDMI to HDMI (Single port) cable.Monitor 2 --> DVI to DVI (Single port)Therefore, the "Box" has available;2 USB 2.01 USB 3.02 USB Charging Ports1 LAN1 Audio/IN1 Audio/OUTTherefore, the DELL Laptop has available;1 HDMI1 LAN1 USB 2.0*Audio/OUT is connected to external speaker*USB 2.0 Is occupied by Bluetooth/(mouse) transmitter.*I'll be adding a 3rd, identical monitor to the equation - theoretically, in the HDMI port, on the DELL Laptop.During this very hectic time these monitors were able to show the vibrant, crimson, bleeding of the digital chart pixalization.The "Box" has been running nonstop since I got it and set it up - maybe a week after receiving it.It performed quite well in keeping the video connections almost pure.You could almost smell the copper from the blood my portfolio leaked for two weeks.But those red pixels...?? Man !!I use LED grow lights, but Jesus, Marie- when the monitors, connected to a "Box", connected to a laptop, connected to a speaker blazing "Forty Six & 2" on YouTube, while the monitors keep clones going for two weeks...??!!THAT, is an impressive BOX !!I didn't need technical support per se, but I needed mental support since Pink Floyd only helped curtail the monster for so long.I was told that "This was an outside issue".Having been a Tech, a Team Leader, and then Floor Manager in a top 3 computer company, before support was EXported to a country you can't pronounce, where people had the commanding understanding of the English words... "Please hold", and "Try plugging it in", while dealing with FRAUD PREVENTION... I understood that my dilemma TRULY wasn't their responsibility.So I never REally called them because I never REally needed them so I didn’t REally feel that it was fair to rate that which was not REally needed.It makes sense in my head (Shut up, he's typing. Don't tell him to shut up).As far as, "Value for the money", and the 4 Stars I gave it;It's a BOX.I'm not sure if it was designed this way but if you place the "Box" by instinct, with the cables in the back, then you are doing it wrong or there is a better way.Which then begs the questions as to placement of ports v. placement of bright-blinky lights v. "Box" orientation.It seems that standing the "Box", with the cables on the top, is a better situation.Putting the stack of cables just behind a monitor (on stands before mounting on a latis - the walls need new, greed bleed), allows for the hiding of the cable stack but keeping the pretty lights in sight, just under the frame.I say go for it.If you got the bread to spend and the need to juggle chaos in a manageable and recognizable form of insanity, who am I to discourage you.But remember, once you taste the Dark Side, you'll need another shot in the morning... at exactly 9:30 AM, NYSE-ST.Just don't leave it directly under the edge of your monitor.I'm not sure what dripping pixels will do to the electronics while exposed in its upright position.I hope this help you decide and if you were able to understand more than 73.27% of this the, please, seek help.But don't burden the tech support lines. Think about the minority of those who are well and don't lose social skills in a most necessary time of isolation.Alone.By yourself.With the "Box".Just you and the "Box".Day and night.Taunting me with those lights. Just blinking away as if it's some complex math from a civilization far, far away.Like a desert location with a name like ohhh, Mos Espa or maybe Mos Eisley.No problems setting up. Only negative is my wireless mouse gets confused and/or delayed at least once every few hours. For the price point I decided to keep it.Check with lenovo laptop. Connected 2 screens, web camera and keyboard with mouse. All works great except the keyboard. There is an abnormal latency in typing. Not convenient to work. Had to connect directly to the laptop. Not so big disadvantage, but preferred everything to work properly.No issue with laptop charging via the docking.This devise works well., but as soon as the computer is booted up, everything comes to life except the audio. At first I thought that the device was defective, but I figured out that the problem was a computer setting. It could just be my PC, but every time I boot up the computer or wake it up from sleeping, I need to go back into the computer settings and redo them to get the audio to work again. Yes, I do understand that you can set this device as the default for the audio and I did do that. Never the less, even though it is the default device for audio when I boot up, it still does not work until I reset it for the laptop audio, hit test, and then reset it for this device and hit test again. At that point it comes back to life and works perfectly until I have to wake up the computer again or reboot it. Once you know how to do it, the process only takes a few seconds, so not such a big deal. I don't know if this is a problem with this device or a problem with my laptop. All in all, I am happy with this docking station and I do recommend it. By the way, I read another evaluation where the author had a small issue that the inputs were in the rear of the device. This is easily solved by placing the unit next to the computer and turning it sideways to allow for easy access to the back. I also like the fact that his box has a flat top that allows me to place a couple of USB drives on top of it to save space.This is a good little unit, my second. Purchased my first from another seller. 2 USB 2.0, 2 USB 3.0, 2 HDMI, audio out, VGA out (big plus, in my book) and ethernet as well as a power delivery port. Reads SD size and micro SD cards as well. It is not Thunderbolt capable, but I don't need that. Works great with my Asus Chromebook and my wife's MacBook. Well made, doesn't get hot even when all ports except VGA were in use.I am using this docking station with an inexpensive not very powerful Lenovo laptop. Everything I need works beautifully. Windows 10 was smart enough to find and download compatible drivers so I didn't even have to go to the web site for this docking station driver software.I am running two 27" monitors at 1920x1080P each, one connected HDMI and one using the old fashioned analog VGA cable using the provided adapter. Both work smoothly and perfectly. I have hardwired internet to the LAN port and speedtest is a happy experience. I use a Logitech keyboard/mouse wireless adapter in one of the USB 2 ports. I can't believe how well this thing works to help with my usability on this little laptop. Can I game on it? No, of course not. But I certainly can run spreadsheets, virtual desktops, web pages, etc. on the two monitors with zero problems, and the monitor on my laptop works as well!My only very minor nit - not even enough to complain about - I'd like to see the power, LAN, USB3 input, and monitor connections on the back side of the device, and the USBs on the front. When I look at this on my desk it's a tangle of wires around some USB ports. I'd rather have the tangle of wires somewhere else and a clean panel with the USBs facing me at my desk for connecting whatever I want to connect. Very minor complaint - everything works great. This little box absolutely kicks my butt.La construcción se ve y siente bastante bien, es bonito y robusto. El funcionamiento bastante malo, se calienta mucho y desconecta constantemente todos los dispositivos conectados a el. Lo devolví.Funciono bien pero las 3 pantallas conectadas se calienta
