5.0 out of 5 stars I was super hesitant about purchasing the product because I had tried ...
Reason for purchase: I have an HP Envy laptop that only has one video out (HDMI) but I have two monitors and I was in the process of replacing my desktop computer with the ENVY and I wanted the laptop to be able to make use of both of my monitors.First impression: I was super hesitant about purchasing the product because I had tried an IOGear (or something like that) USB display module before that, too, used DisplayLink. I had soooo many problems with it...well actually just like one or two but they were happening frequently and in my mind I came to associate the problems with DisplayLink, not the module. So when I saw that this docking station used DisplayLink as well I was nervous but the reviews were so positive that I figured the previous problems might have been with the module itself. My first impression: nice looking piece, looks kinda like a router, solid packaging though it was difficult to remove initially.Setup: I literally just plugged my monitors into the back of the docking station as well as two ext. hdds and the speakers. I then plugged the docking station into a surge protector and connected it to my laptop via the provided usb. For those of you who are confused as I was at first, all of the video goes through the usb cable, so you can have two external displays without plugging anything into your laptop's video output. My laptop recognized the docking station and a window popped up where I could install the drivers that I wanted (one for audio, one for video, etc). The set-up was seamless and it blew me away. As soon as the drivers were installed the monitors came to life, I don't even think it required a restart (though it may have but I don't think it did).Overall Experience: It's been pretty awesome, I've noticed little to no lag at all when dragging stuff between monitors, no delay or sync issues with audio, the hdds are fast as ever, I'm blown away really. I've only really noticed two semi-issues--playing two separate videos on the two monitors creates problems, even when they're not playing in full screen. Also (and this may not be the module, I'm not sure) but when I first hooked everything up, I decided to leave my wireless mouse and keyboard connected directly to the laptop but after a while I noticed a TON of lag with the mouse...the keyboard was fine. I changed the batteries and still, TONS of lag...to the point where it was unusuable. But when I moved the receivers to the docking station, the problem was gone. Not sure what happened there, I had never had an issue with the mouse before so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the docking station or not. OVERALL: awesome purchase that I highly, highly, highly recommend.
5.0 out of 5 stars This is an awesome USB 3.0 type A docking station
I originally purchased a USB-C dock, thinking I could attach it to my new HP Windows 11 laptop USB-C port. I have two external monitors, one HDMI and the other Display Port (or VGA), as well as 4 or 5 USB devices.Well, I connected everything to that USB-C doc, and the USB devices worked - but not the monitors. After some research, I discovered my HP 15-ef2033dx laptop (purchased at a great Black Friday price), does not support external monitors through the USB-C. Duh - I should have paid more attention.So, I found this Kensington Dock on Bolo, read the description carefully and watched the videos produced by Kensington. Convinced myself that this bad boy is for me. Got it yesterday, hooked everything up, and voila - my old external monitors work like a champ. And, because the Kensington dock has its own power supply, I can leave my laptop lid closed - I have no need for 3 displays - and the 2 external monitors work great in this mode. When I'm done working, I just turn off the monitors, leave the laptop in sleep mode, and then wake it up by simply activating with the mouse or keyboard. The provided DVI to VGA adapter works perfectly, with a VGA connection to my old Dell monitor (at least 8 years old).And - the dock also has an audio output port, so I can connect my external speakers also completely to the Dock - the audio jack as well as USB for the power. (The dock also has an audio input port if you want to connect a microphone.)I could not be happier. If you have a laptop with a USB-C which doesn't support external monitors, or a laptop with USB3.0 type A only, this is for you.
5.0 out of 5 stars Solid product
This dock is great for multiple monitor setups and giving more USB slots.

I am using this with a MacBook Air (most recent model, up-to-date OS X). The first thing that hits you is that Kensington has not done a thing to make it easy for a Mac user to set this up. You have to go to their web site, go to the product page, click on "Resources" and download/install the DisplayLink USB 3.0 software. I have two displays that use DVI connectors. There is one DVI port and one HDMI port, so I purchased a DVI female to HDMI male adapter so that I could connect both monitors. I bought a Monster adapter (available on Bolo). Upon closer inspection, I see that the unit comes with a DVI male to HDMI female adapter that you can plug into the monitor and use a male/male HDMI cable. I'm going to switch to that because it takes less room on the Kensington unit. It would be good if Kensington had a model with two DVI connectors.Once I plugged in the monitors and the power adapter, I plugged in the supplied USB cable to the unit and my Mac and it worked. That made me feel pretty good. The next challenge was to arrange the monitors and menu bar correctly. This is done via the "Displays" link in System Preferences. This review isn't the place to describe how that works, but suffice it to say that this requires previous experience with multiple monitors or some web searches.I previously was using a device for multiple monitors that used the Thunderbolt/mini-DVI connector on the Mac and treated the two monitors as one big monitor. The downside of this is that if you wanted to expand something to full screen, it would expand it across both monitors. The Kensington unit treats the monitors as separate displays, so when I use PowerPoint it works as expected and when I expand a YouTube video, it fills only one screen. I tried iPhoto, however, and it didn't work. The DisplayLink web site indicates that the way iPhoto renders the picture doesn't work with their software and chips.There is no lag or jumping like I've seen with other USB-based video. YouTube videos look great. I'm not a gamer so I can't comment on that. So far it seems pretty darn solid. I like the multiple USB ports, especially the front-facing ports. It's a keeper, but not perfect. I suspect most Mac users will be stumped on how to set it up and will have to contact tech support. Hopefully they will get help there. I would give this 5 stars if Mac setup was simple and if it worked with all standard Mac apps.

Excelente hub.
Principalmente lo compre para poner conectar varios monitores a mi laptop a la vez, funciona de maravilla, el input lag es muy poco siempre y cuando se use atravez de usb 3.0, en realidad le saque muy buen provecho, gracias a sus multiples puertos usb, es plug & play, llevo con el varios meses y no me ha fallado, lo utilizo en windows y mac y funciona perfectamente con ambos. Lo unico que no he probado es el cable de red, ya que tengo otro adaptador para la red que estoy utilizando.
Worked exactly as it should out the box
Works perfectly with surface pro, chromebook and Toshiba laptop.
