Really some of the best docking stations on the market
Anker has been making quality products for years. They’ve become very proud of their goods of late, as they should be, but sometimes the price-to-value ratio seems out of balance. I got this one on sale, and after having worked with some units from the Chinese random-letter companies, it was refreshing to work with a unit again from Anker. I can just feel the quality. We’re literally using all of the ports on the docking station. It works seamlessly between a Chromebook, Ubuntu, and a Windows laptop, so compatibility has not been an issue, and they all charge just fine. I’ve had no heat problems or noticed any noises.This is used for business and productivity, and I was looking for just 2 standard HDMI connections. It’s REALLY hard to find good ones with lots of ports. Videos look great. Not sure it’s gaming-performance worthy on secondary monitors, but for what we need it for, this Anker docking station is perfect.

Tiny but powerful
A small device with enough ports for peripherals and small enough for my laptop case. Anker’s solid reputation continues.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.
**UPDATE** Now my rear USB port has died–the only one of two standard ports that didn’t hiccup and glitch. This thing worked FAIR (front USB port always glitchy) for about a year and a half–MINUS any Mac capacities–and now is essentially an aftermarket power brick. The combination of misrepresented functionality (no Mac support despite showing Mac use), faulty design (front USB unreliable, irregular power supply to dual monitors), and poor reliability (multiple ports and functions dead within 18 months) have serious undermined my former respect for this brand.DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.(ORIGINAL REVIEW:)Disappointing.First, it was not clear to me when I purchased this that it would not allow me to extend screens from my MacBook. There is now a slide that shows that all Mac screens will be identical. It’s possible I missed that a year and a half ago at purchase, but I think I would have noticed. In any case, claiming this is Mac compatible is inane. I don’t know anyone who purchases a docking hub so they can see 3+ screens of the SAME THING.Mac users, beware.I was willing to attribute that to careless comparisons on my part—partly based on a very high opinion of Anker in general. BUT unfortunately the problems do not end there.Though there are two standard USB ports, the way in which this device is wired makes it difficult to use them. If I place my keyboard dongle in the front USB port, and insert a flash drive into the USB-C port next to it, there is suddenly an irregular lag to my mouse movements. I cannot work all day with my mouse lagging.Of course I can move the dongle to the rear of the unit, but now my printer cable is projecting from the front and that’s the whole point of having rear USB ports. In short, why design the ports in a way that they interfere with each other?ANOTHER ISSUE is flickering in my monitor screen sometimes. I looked online and the only solution I found is turning down the refresh rate because “60 Hz on each screen is a lot for the hub to handle”. I thought 60 Hz was pretty much standard so again I’m not sure why a device would be advertised as handling up to three screens if two was going to tax it. This problem also seems intermittent but it ought to happen never.LASTLY, just this past week, the device suddenly can no longer extend more than one screen on my Windows work computer. I’ve tried two computers and multiple cables but whatever I do Windows will not recognize that I have two monitors attached and allow me to extend them. Both monitors are actually live and connected but show the same image, so somehow the hub has lost the ability to differentiate between them.Now the hub is useless. I have disconnected my second monitor from the hub and connected it directly to my laptop. I have actually moved my keyboard/mouse dongle and attached it directly to the laptop as well. This removes all purpose for having a hub at all. And again, this is for my Windows work computer—my MacBook has all these issues but would not extend screens even when the hub was fully functional.I bought this because I had faith in the Anker brand and because it was slightly less expensive than the hub Apple promoted on its website. I regret this purchase. Now I have a $150 hub that combines only two of the five cable connections I connect and disconnect every time I move my computer from work to home.Very, very disappointed. Pay more to get a better and more reliable product.

Great for Framework 16 Running Fedora
The docking station works perfectly with my Fedora-driven Framework 16. It provides more than enough power, and, unlike with my mini dock, both video and Ethernet are stable. Unlike most run of the mill docks, the Ankler is compatible with the stock Linux video drivers.Many docks, especially the lower priced ones, use DisplayLink video hardware, which works poorly (if at all) with Linux. Linux’s DisplayLink support has been described as “sketchy”; I could not get the available drivers to work. I commend it to Linux users.

does its job well; what else do you need?
Replacing an older model which died in a lightning strike. Works well, and seems to stay much cooler than the older model. If it’s got the ports you need, I can’t imagine needing anything other than this.

(Mostly) Compatible with Surface Pro 11 5G (ARM)
This dock works without any real issue with my Microsoft Surface Pro 11. Discovered that none of my PCs support DisplayPort over USB-C which means I have to use HDMI to connect the dock with my Dell Alienware AW3425DWM. Supports HDR and the Surface isn’t complaining about the dock not providing enough power. Was really easy and quick to get set up. Would be nice if it would could be horizontally-oriented instead of vertically-oriented but it’s not a dealbreaker. Overall, good value for the money – especially if you can get it on sale.

Defective Product
This dock seemed to work ok for a little while. Then the problems started. A lot of the issues revolved around the monitor not displaying properly. It started with random swaps between resolutions, and eventually turned into the monitor completely cutting out. It wasn’t that the monitor wasn’t getting a source, just a blacked out screen. I tried multiple different HDMI cables, different ports and even switched to the DisplayPort. None of these solved my issues. So I reached out to Anker. I’ve had good luck in the past with their products so I was looking forward to having this issue resolved. They advised that it could be covered under warranty, which is great, but their warranty process is not streamlined. The main issue being that I have to send the product in, and after 5-7 business days AFTER they receive it, they’ll determine whether they will send me a new product. So now I’m out a dock for who knows how long, and there’s no guarantee the product will return functional. It’s difficult to understand this level of customer service, but apparently it’s what Anker has decided to go with.UPDATE: Customer support has reached out to me and offered a solution that works for both of us. While I had higher hopes and expectations of the product, I am appreciative of their support’s willingness to rectify the situation. I have had good experiences with other Anker products, and will probably continue to purchase from them going forward.

No funciona al 100%, no es compatible con mi PC de HP, no funciona para el Monitor, todo lo demás como teclados externos, micrófono funciona bien, pero lo principal que es la conexión entre laptop y monitor no funciona bien.

This is for the “Anker Docking Station, PowerExpand 13-in-1 USB-C Dock, 85W Charging for Laptop”** Update March 9th, 2023 **So pretty much everything in the original review stands, but there is one issue that I touched on originally about the display refresh rate and resolution that I can clarify now.To get the resolution how you want it, you need to set the monitors to the same refresh rate first, then once the resolution is set and applied, change the refresh rate. That being said, I’m not sure if the refresh rate actually changes or if it just says it does.** End of update **So I just got this about an hour ago, and everything just worked! Both in Ubuntu 22.04 and Windows 10.Here’s my setup. Everything is plugged into the dock and only the single USB-C dock cable is plugged into the laptop.Laptop: Dell XPS 13 93701TB SanDisk USB-C SSD (for booting into Ubuntu)2x Monitors + laptop monitor (One monitor is Ultra Wide 2560×1080 144Hz, other is 1080p 60Hz)- Note: I’m using one DP port and one HDMI portWireless keyboard/mouseSpeakersEthernet connection for InternetFirst of all, I was using a Dell TB16 dock before this but I had multiple issues with it. Long story short, I don’t recommend the Dell docks, especially if you use Linux.** Long story about Dell TB16 Dock **Using the Dell dock, my monitor would randomly go out, and the network only connected at 100mbps, the soundcard is super quiet (even at max volume), it’s always on and can get noisy when it heats up (it has a fan), the cable is built into the unit (non-replaceable) and is only about a foot and a half long (coming out of the left side of the unit) and the unit itself is rather large. Also, I boot off a USB-C SSD drive for Linux (which allows me to plug the USB SSD into almost any computer and boot into my Ubuntu OS); For whatever reason, I could never get it to show up as a boot option when plugged into the dock, even with ThunderBolt boot support and pre-module stuff enabled.** End of the Long story about Dell TB16 Dock **Now the Anker dock on the other hand is about a 1/4 of the size of the Dell dock, connects @ 1GB with no problem, allows me to boot off my USB-C SSD, has a power button to turn it off when not in use, it’s silent, works without having to install any drivers on either Windows or Ubuntu, comes with a decently long USB-C cable (3 ft?) to plug into the computer (which can also be replaced and yes it charges my laptop too) and the sound volume is great.There is one oddity that happened, but I was able to fix it easily enough and it’s likely not a problem with the dock but a software issue in Ubuntu. When changing the resolution + refresh rate in Ubuntu, it didn’t properly scale the resolution (the resolution was right, but much of it was cut off or shrunk down as if the monitor itself didn’t change resolutions but the computer did), I had to change the resolution + refresh rate to something else, then to what I wanted to make it work. To be clear, it worked when I plugged it in initially, but changing it to my preference required multiple changes to set it in properly. Once set, it worked as normal.I highly recommend this dock!

I’ve had this dock for almost a year now (a year this month). As with all the WFH situation, it was purchased for that scenario and did it’s purpose. Though it did get hot, the functionality was still there and I had no complaints.A few weeks ago, as per my morning usual, I roll out of bed and log onto work, except I noticed nothing was on. The dock was powered off (which I never power off). Any attempts to power it back on was futile. I even disassembled it from my work setup to try another outlet, different host device, etc and nothing. What I did notice was that it when it was plugged in, it was emitting this high pitch sound. Yeah, it sounded dead.After mulling around a bit, I decided to reach out to Anker. I thought maybe it wouldn’t go anywhere .. but seeing how I paid a hefty price for this, I wouldn’t expect it to die within a year.Anker supper was amazing. After supplying the proof of purchase and proof of the defect (It turned out it was the power supply that gave out), they asked me to ship it back to them and refunded me the shipping cost.Once I did, a new one was dispatched and I received it today. Looks like a different power supply as well compared to the previous. I quickly hooked everything up and everything appears to work fine. I hope this one lasts longer!Everything was done quick and efficiently with no hassles. I appreciate the customer service, 5 stars for that.

I’ve had a lot of issues with this product, which Is unfortunate given how expensive it is. If I am using more than one USB port at a time, one of my USB ports will stop working. My PC also won’t recognize the HDMI ports on this device (and my laptop will only recognize one). Information is hard to find online to troubleshoot, despite Anker having their various products listed. I will just have to buy another brand.

This docking station has proved to be perfect for my MacBook Pro, especially because it permits the connection of multiple displays. I am able to have all of my external devices: drives, controllers etc. connected and ready to go as soon as I hook up my laptop.
