This one actually works!
This was my FOURTH attempt at a docking station that would drive a couple external monitors. Every one I tried required the USB-C Alt mode enabled port, which evidently I don't have on my new Lenovo laptop. This one, however, comes with a very prominent note in the packaging to download and install the display drivers from Synaptics. Very simple and fast download on my laptop, plugged in the two monitors to the HDMI ports and voila... worked perfectly out of the box. I recommend don't go anywhere else and waste time like I did, this works beautifully.

Best dock ever!
This is the best dock I have used. It is small and it packs a big punch. I highly recommend this to anyone seeking to add multiple monitors. I have 3 monitors tied to it and it works flawlessly.

Just what I needed
I made the mistake of ordering and expensive HP docking station twice and they didn't work on my HP laptop. In a last ditch effort I purchase this so I could have 2 monitors connected to my laptop for work. I couldn't even get support from HP to help...Like magic this USB docking station worked perfect. It was easy to set up and didn't require an extra outlet on my power strip. Save some money, a headache and order this if you want to easily connect your monitors.

Great except disconnecting issues (solution included)
First day with it, so I will update if I have any more findings... but here's my thoughts so far.First of all, I love the freedom finally of being able to use another monitor (which for me, as an artist, was my drawing tablet. VERY important, and now I finally don't have to unplug my main big monitor to use my tablet all the time. Switching wires all the time is annoying!)My main problem was that the station would disconnect and reconnect CONSTANTLY from my computer, repeatedly, off on off on, you get the picture. This would also force my slow, underpowered laptop (which could also be the reason why this happened) to flicker its monitor, reload things, etc. What a nightmare.Well, I tried using the other cord (the one that comes with the station, it plugs into the station's usb-c and then turns it into a usb). That didn't work for the hdmi, although it charged my phone off the station's usb. This wasn't good enough. So on a whim, I tried having this plugged in as well as the main usb (integrated cord) that comes off the station. Works perfectly. Doesn't reconnect constantly.I'm going to downrate by one star for this issue. Again, could be my laptop, but we will see if this solution holds up. I'll also update this review in the future if I get a new, better laptop--because then it most certainly would be the laptop's issue.If you have an older or slower laptop, don't feel afraid to buy this though! This solution above worked for me, maybe it'll work for you.UPDATE, Week-ish Later: Currently, it's been a week-ish since getting it. I keep it plugged in most of the time, and I have never had another issue again. Granted, it's not great at having a bunch of things plugged in, especially if you're a laptop user, so beware of that. Since I mainly wanted it for having another monitor plugged in, it works great for that purpose and does not run hot.THAT SAID--I literally cannot plug in more than one usb item without the thing freaking out/repeatedly disconnecting reconnecting. I have since the last issue begun using this on an Alienware laptop, so power issues shouldn't be a problem. Will update if I figure out the solution to this problem.

Only sometimes works and doesn't do it all.
This dock was intially plugged in to my laptop fan and it did indeed allow for thumb drives, ethernet connections, and additional usb devices to function. but i attempted to plug in my hdmi monitor and it started experiencing intermitent connectivity until I wiggled the docks connection enough. The monitor never functioned correctly though. When attempting to connect the dock directly to my laptop it did not provide enough through-power to even run the laptop fan and would not read thumb drives.Conclusion: this device is not rated to power very many devices simultaneously, not even a single monitor, despite having two hmdi ports. Therefore it fails as a dock.

Makes it easy to dock... Single connection gives you dual HDMI, USB connections and audio in/out.
Excellent product. Easy to use great form factor.

Works great!!
I have used this in 5 different areas. Have not had any issues. Once the driver installs it sees the monitors and other devices and works as described.
