WAVLINK USB Laptop Docking Station Dual Monitors, DisplayLink Computer Dock for M1 M2 Mac and Windows, ChromeOS, Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 (HDMI & HDMI/DVI/VGA, 6xUSB Ports, LAN, Audio)

I did a lot of research since there are plenty of good choices out there for a docking station for a Macbook Pro M1 Pro including Wavlink, iVanky, Sateshi, OWC, Plugable. And I chose this Wavlink by considering many factors that were important to me including having the "extend mode" option for multiple monitors, laptop charging via the dock, multiple display port availability, combination of USB type A and type C ports, 1GbE Ethernet port. Having a Thunderbolt 4 40Gb down port was not important for me. And of course wanted something at the $200 price point. This Wavlink was perfect. Few things that you should know. This requires the DisplayLink driver and that is perfectly fine because my work environment requires that as well and so this was not a new requirement for me. BTW, if you run into issues with streaming video (Netflix, Prime Video, etc.) when you use DisplayLink, just switch off "Hardware Acceleration" in the Chrome browser and that will fix it. I used to have 4 cables connected to my Macbook (for two monitors, network cable, speaker). Now have a very elegant setup with just one cable from the Wavlink. Nice!

It came well packed. I have been using it for a week, and so far it does everything it is supposed to do. It is connected to Dell Latitude 7440. I connected two 4K monitors to the two HDMI ports and they work very well. All other usb ports work as well. It came with biffy 100 Wt adapter, which is connected and charges my laptop without problems. I also use the RJ45 ethernet port and the audio port without problems. I have not tried to connect an external drive to it, so I cannot comment on that. Some people had problems with that. I will keep you posted, when I try it, or if something happens in the future. It is one month now, and it is working fine - no problems.

I have three of these docks that my company is using with M3 Macbook pros. They work great with dual and triple monitors. I ordered three more for some M4 Macbook pros we just received. The new docks are labeled as a Pro version while the previous docks I received are labled as a Max version. The Pro version does not work with the M4. We tried all of them and the screen blacks out every few seconds with a dual or triple monitor setup. The M4 works great on the previous docks we received that are the Max version. The only difference I can see between the two models I've received are the Max version of the dock includes a 180W power supply while the Pro version is 160W. With the 180W power supply, the M4 has no issues connecting. Other than the discrepancy in the models, the Max 180W dock works great and has been in use for over a year. I took one star off due to the recent models received.

If you are cool with updating your own drivers, you have found the PERFECT dock for PC and Mac. Everything this dock says it can do, it does. 4K at 60hz. Up to 4 mirrored or extended screens, if you include the laptop monitor itself. 10gb per USB port. Audio, speakers and mic. And it runs smoothly. I have two computers. A Lenovo Thinkpad (PC) laptop and a MacBook. The PC didn’t require a driver. It was genuinely plug-and-play. But the MacBook did require the driver. I plugged it in and it didn’t work. (Actually, let me specify that. The other aspects of the dock worked, like the audio and USB ports. Just the screens didn’t work.) The problem isn’t the dock. The problem is macOS. Mac is notorious for having compatibility issues. In order to have a dock that works well with both PC and Mac, you have to rely on a third-party driver (DisplayLink) to make it run. That being said, here is why I’m giving the dock 5 stars: Wavlink tells you upfront you will probably need to install a driver. The manual for the dock specifically tells you to install the driver AND tells you where to find it. The website it takes you to is very self-explanatory and the install is easy. It took me less than five minutes to find and install the driver. As a further note, when I upgraded to macOS Sonoma, I did have to download and install a new driver also provided on their website. AGAIN, THIS IS NOT WAVLINK’S FAULT. THIS IS APPLE’S FAULT. THIS DOCK IS BUILT ON DISPLAYLINK, A DRIVER WHICH IS NOT PROPRIETARY TO MACBOOKS. MAC WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY UPGRADE THIS DRIVER FOR YOU. THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE SIGNING UP FOR. In conclusion, I love this dock. It does everything it says it can do and I’m not bothered by updating my own drivers. ***UPDATE - 18 months later*** Still works exactly the same as the day I bought it. Have not had to update the driver in over a year. Still 5 stars. Going to buy a second one for my office at work.

I could not recommend this unit. Although it will allow you to have 3 monitors, it randomly blanks out. It started to blank out altogether at the same time. Now, it slowly blanks out on one monitor.......then the next.......and then onto the next.........when it eventually comes back up, whatever you were previously working on ends up on only 1 monitor. Contacted support numerous times and they take their time getting back to you. Their emails include a support tool, which collects data and supposedly installs the latest version for display link or something like that. I've done this several times. Once they've figured out there is no resolve, they pass you onto someone else and you have to start over from the beginning, as if you've never contacted them. It's a pain having this unit and even more of a pain dealing with tech support. I'd steer clear of this unit. Also, when looking up files, everything is really delayed. Overall, this dock has great options however, it's not worth the hassle.

I’m glad to have picked this item over other competing brands. It works without any problems with just plug and play. Already used it for slightly over a month with totally no issues. Another plus feature was that it was sold by Wavlink SG so the power plug supplied was the one needed without the need for adapter. On top of this, delivery was fast.

Aunque es un poco grande tiene un diseño elegante y queda discreto.

uso un lenovo st14.. faccio sviluppo IT e saltuariamente immagini e video. Ho memoria da 64 su win10 . ho collegato un video portatile di estensione tramite presa hdmi e alimentato via usb. il pc ha solo tre usb che ovviamente ho riempito in un attimousando anche hd esterni (3) . una porta usb era dedicata alla connessioen di rete ,preferibile al wifi. usando un hub usb per connettere i dischi esterni tutto il sistema rallenza (ovviamente) , pesa anche l alimentazioen del monitor esterno usanto in estensione. Tutto cambia con l uso della dock. le velocità sono ottime , vero che è uno strumento non facilmente portatile , necessita di alimentazione diretta ma ne vale la pena usarlo . a brve proverò le connessioni con monitor tremite lui olte che microfono e cuffia. non ho installato il programma di supporto, per cui lavora con i driver trovati in automatico .

I have a fairly new laptop (~1.5yrs old); however, as new as the laptop is, it was made with entry level/ basic parts - specifically the output ports (HDMI, USB-A & USB-C only had the most basic capabilities). Because of this, it was very difficult to find a reasonably priced docking station that would function properly with my laptop. Most of the docking stations were $250-$350! I cam across the WAVLINK USB 3.0 Universal Docking Station and it was priced reasonably and appeared to have the potential to work with my laptop, so i decided to give it a try. Upon receiving the unit, I was prepared to have to struggle with installing drivers and updates (and prepared for most of the drivers not to work, as that has been my experience with other peripheral devices). To my surprise and relief, the WAVLINK USB 3.0 Universal Docking Station plugged in and was automatically updated and functioned correctly right away. I'm quite pleased with the unit, ease of use and functionality - i would definitely recommend

j'en suis très satisfaite de ce produit, ça me facilite le travail, avec mon PC portable, j'ai 3 écrans. L'installation m'a pris 5 minutes juste pour le branchement des fils, ça a fonctionné immédiatement. Je l'ai conseillé à plusieurs personnes et qui en sont également satisfaits. Donc je recommande.
