**Update 25 Oct 2020**This sits in a drawer of my desk now. It will never be used because it plain doesn't work. Maybe if you have two very small monitors and some chromebooks it will work but otherwise I wish I could return it. I can't even donate it because I don't want to give a possibly faulty product to someone, even for free. My work gave me a targus docking station and it works like a champ. Get one of those.**UPDATE 19 Feb 2019**I originally had this at 4 stars but have dropped it to 1 because the issue with recognizing monitors has been occurring frequently. So much so that I'm looking into returning it and getting a different product. Even right now I'm watching this thing struggle with displaying one other monitor, not even two. I could get another monitor connected by just using the already available HDMI port on the laptop. If you like to play games, absolutely do not get this! If you have to use your computer to do a presentation virtually or use in meetings, do not get this at all. As I type this I realize how little it actually helps me as I work from home. Pass on and get something else.*Original review*The product was very nicely packaged which was good to see. I'm glad I didnt need to buy my own usb-c cord. It's not very heavy so it could come across as low quality but it looks just fine.I bought this for use with my personal laptop and my work laptop when I need to work from home. I got this model because it says it charges the laptop as well so you'd, in theory, only need to plug one cord into your laptop and you're good to go. That's true if you have a standard laptop (i.e. non-gaming). My personal laptop is an Asus 17" gaming laptop. I misread the wattage limit that this device can charge so that's my fault. So it at least works for my work laptop.When everything is connected you might be worried at first. The screens will flash on/off and devices won't work right at first. Let your computer do its thing. I had to change the display settings a little but that was it. It took a little while longer to get the internet working but just be patient, a reboot may help but I didnt need to.In the whole few hours I've had this I've experienced only one issue. My screens turned off all of a sudden and then none of my monitors displayed, just the laptop screen. It briefly stopped recognizing I had monitors plugged in (hdmi). It corrected itself shortly after but I'm a little concerned it could happen again (hence the 4 stars). If after a while I see no other glitches I'll change it to 5 stars. I'd still recommend this. If you dont need the laptop charge port you could save some cash and get the next step down, theres not much difference between the two.

I had tried two other docks (one TB4 and one USB-C) and they were either not compatible with my system and/or the docks just did not support the number of video outputs they claimed (at the resolutions needed). Down to my last option before going back to an old Dell USB-C dock, I tried the WavLink and it was just so easy. First I loaded the two drivers onto my laptop as indicated in the setup instructions. Then I connected and turned on the dock. Right away, two external monitors worked perfectly and then I added another using a (TB to HDMI adapter) plugged into one of three TB ports and it worked perfectly too. I highly recommend this dock for its video support, laptop charging and easy set up.

The first unit worked only sporadically. It repeatedly shut down after 10-15 minutes. There is no telephone number to call for support and an email message to support went unanswered for 4 days. Because of the many positive ratings and reviews, I finally returned the unit and ordered a new one (a direct exchange wasn’t possible). The new unit is working perfectly and satisfying all of my needs (notebook computer, dual screens, usb mouse/keyboard), and a scanner, . So far (about a week after receiving the new unit) it is everything it’d hoped for. So, if you don’t need tech support, this is the unit I’d recommend. The unit itself is 5-star; I took off 1 star for the non-responsive tech support.

I was in need a dock that I could get full use out of with both my work laptop (running Windows 10) and my personal laptop (running Ubuntu). While I will be replacing my personal laptop at some point in the next year or two, I wanted a dock that would work with it until I replace it - and that meant a dock that was backwards compatible with a USB-A. There were three items that were mission critical for me:1. USB-C connection with charging, as my work laptop has just the one USB-C port so I needed it for both power supply and dock connection2. Supports USB-C to USB-A connection so I could use with my personal laptop. One pleasant surprise was that the dock did come with a USB-C to USB-A cable even though the description indicates it is not included3. Linux (specifically Ubuntu) compatibility / support. The product description is a little contradictory here but this dock does support Ubuntu.I received the dock yesterday and am very pleased to say it hit the mark on all three. I've now got a dual monitor setup which can switch back and forth between my personal and work laptops very easily - takes only a few seconds to switch the cable from one machine to the other.All that said, there was some minor configuration required for both laptops. Unlike some other reviewers, the dock did not work out of the box with my work Windows 10 laptop - displays were not detected. That was a pretty easy fix, all I had to do was download the DisplayLink drivers and then install. Note for installation, I had to do a remote session with an IT colleague since it required admin rights (which I don't have on my work domain). Once that was done, dock worked perfectly with my Windows laptop.The Ubuntu setup took a little more time. I installed the drivers prior to receiving the dock, so when I hooked it up it seemingly worked great. However, when I closed my laptop lid or disabled my laptop screen, the displays had a 2-3 second lag. It became evident after a little googling that the issue is known and fairly common. DisplayLink has a patch that fixes the issue but it did require that I update to Ubuntu 20.04 from 18.04. The fix works great in Ubuntu 20.04, however I have to log out and then log back in after running the patch for it to be effective. In addition, the patch is temporary and needs to be re-applied every time the machine is restarted - not a big deal to me but could see it frustrating others.All in all, I'm extremely happy with the dock, particularly so as I found that there were not very many options that checked all the boxes I had. Highly recommend!

Doing an early review for this product as I only just hooked it up. Was quite easy to setup and works quite well on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports).The Display Manager software requires 'Screen Recording' but that is nothing to worry about from what I can tell. My Luna device (before built-in OS iPad display sharing) requires it as well. It can be a little unnerving seeing the 'Display Manager is recording your screen' icon in the tray go on and off, but Little Snitch does not show any network traffic.The DM software did crash once while I was arranging the displays in the System Display settings panel, but I will not be doing that often; if ever again. Seems stable so far otherwise. Lost the HDMI port outputs when that happened. Thunderbolt displays continued to function. It happened again when I purposely disconnected one of the monitors and had to re-arrange them. Again, not something I will do often now that the configuration is saved. Just in-case, however, I have written an AppleScript App via Script Editor to that runs under Login Items to check every 10 seconds and restart the app if it's not open. Could also just have the icon in the tray and click on it every time it happens, but I'm a programmer... so I solve problems with code often. Still not worth taking a star away as far as I'm concerned. So long as it only happens during display arrangement.Unclear why the color profile is incorrect between two identical monitors (when both are set to the same one). Likely a Mac or monitor problem.So far very satisfied with the port outputs. Will try hooking up a device on each one and see how - if - the unit gets too hot as some users have reported. Not even warm to the touch with the 4 displays going for 30 minutes or so, so far.
