Docking Station Dual DisplayPort Review

Have you ever found yourself entangled in a web of wires, smack dab in the middle of productivity chaos, yearning for a gadget that promises to simplify your life? It seems I’m not alone in this longing. Enter the “Docking Station Dual DisplayPort, Selore USB C hub,” a multi-faceted device promising salvation from the pandemonium of tangled cables and limited connectivity.

My Encounter with the 9-in-1 Laptop Docking Station

Let me tell you about this little marvel. With the promise of consolidating all connection needs into a single 9-in-1 powerhouse, the docking station features: two DisplayPort outputs, an HDMI port, three USB-A 3.0 ports, an SD card reader, a Micro SD card reader, and a PD charging port. It sounds like something out of a science-fiction novel, doesn’t it?

You see, I often find myself wrestling with an eclectic mix of devices – my trusty MacBook, a somewhat temperamental Dell XPS, and a narrowly missed flight due to tangled wires incident involving my HP laptop. This docking station seems like a beacon of hope, offering a one-stop solution. But how well does this promise hold up in reality?

Triple Monitor Setup: The Holy Grail?

Setting Up The Ultimate Display Trio

Ah, the dream setup – three monitors glowing with unrivaled clarity, transforming my desk into the command center of an international space station. This docking station claims to make connecting up to three monitors an effortless reality, courtesy of its two DisplayPort outputs and one HDMI port. Impressive, right?

However, for MacBook users, especially those employing the newer M1 or M2 chips, there is a caveat. Due to hardware limitations, you won’t be able to enjoy a dual-monitor setup. So, like it or not, my dreams of becoming a productivity maestro with multiple displays were slightly dampened — at least with my MacBook in play. For other devices in my eclectic collection, though, this docking station remains a capable ally.

Overcoming Limitations with Style

The station boldly dances around potential limitations by making use of Thunderbolt 3 compatibility. However, a casual reminder here – not every USB-C port is bound for the same destiny. Devices like the HP Pavilion and Lenovo IdeaPad might find themselves incompatible, left out of this multi-display revelry. Still, for those privileged to have compatible ports, this docking station can revolutionize the workspace.

Speeding through the Waves: Fast Data Transfer

USB 3.0: The Pursuit of Speed

Let’s chat about speed, shall we? As I sip lukewarm coffee on a particularly hectic Monday morning, there’s something incredibly satisfying about knowing the three USB 3.0 ports can transfer data at up to 5Gbps. Whether it’s offloading files from an external hard drive or connecting peripherals like keyboards and mice, this docking station refuses to slow me down.

Taming the Wild World of Peripherals

While I love my ever-evolving collection of external gadgets, connecting them all was once akin to negotiating peace between warring nations. Yet, with the docking station acting as the seasoned diplomat, everything integrates smoothly, allowing seamless transitions without a hitch.

Bridging the Gaps: SD Card Reader and PD Charging

SD & Micro SD Reader: Carte Blanche with Storage

The convenience of the SD and Micro SD card reader shouldn’t be overlooked. With data transfer speeds up to 104MB/s, juggling digital photos or moving large files becomes a task of seconds, not minutes. Also, let’s not forget those nostalgic moments when browsing through the SD card for pictures long-forgotten becomes a shared delight.

Charging with Confidence

Equally notable is the PD charging support. Now, this docking station offers up to 100W, losing a meager 13W to operate. Meaning your laptop receives a generous 87W of power. Perfectly sufficient to keep my laptop chugging fiercely, all thanks to this convenience on the dock.

Compatibility Conundrum

Playing Well with Others

As much as I would like every device in my possession to get along with this docking station, that’s more of a pipe dream. It covers a wide range of Thunderbolt 3 compatible devices, such as the Dell XPS series and those newer MacBooks that boast of USB-C ports. However, do check if the USB-C port supports video output or DP Alt Mode, as not all are created equal.

The Haunted

An echo haunts me everywhere I go: the whispers of compatibility. The realization that devices like HP Pavilion or Lenovo IdeaPad are incompatible hangs heavy, guarding the angelic choir of seamless connectivity from reaching its full potential. But for the chosen few, the experience is divine.
