Update June 2, 2025: Changed from one star to five stars because of Anker's great customer service. While the issue still occasionally pops up, customer service has been very responsive and helpful. I downloaded a firmware update that they sent and hope that resolves the issue. In the meantime, I am changing this review to five stars because Anker customer support is extremely helpful and will do anything they can to help you resolve issues.______________I’m a big fan of Anker and usually recommend their products without hesitation. Unfortunately, this hub hasn’t worked well with my Lenovo Yoga 9i and 1080p Samsung 27" monitor. When I try to connect the monitor via HDMI through the hub, it’s hit or miss—sometimes it works for about an hour before flashing green and going blank, other times it doesn’t display anything at all. It's really inconsistent.When I use my USB-C to HDMI dongle instead, everything works perfectly, so I’ve gone back to using that. The main reason I bought this hub was to avoid relying on multiple dongles, but I’m still stuck using them.I'm don't think I can recommend it, since it doesn’t reliably handle something as basic as connecting an external monitor.

GREAT! The Anker 575 is an amazing product. Its size is much smaller than I anticipated. However, it is a high performing docking station. I connect my MacBook Air to my external monitor to edit photos, and the quality and speed to the display is amazing. It simultaneously charges my laptop, connects it to an external display and downloads the photos from my SD card without skipping a beat. It can get a little warm when having all three of these tasks going at once; however, it handles very well for long periods of time. It is very simple out of the box and very easy to set up. I recommend this for any students or photographers that are want to expand their work space.

TLDR summary:Kudos to: Amazon Customer ServiceImportant Disclaimer: I've had prior good luck with Anker- I think they may have had a bad batch of these- I don't necessarily believe that my experience negates all the positive reviews, but read on for my experience...I've purchased a couple different, less expensive USB-C hubs during my post-pandemic work from home (WFH) adventure. They're set up to run 2 monitors, a USB-A webcam, a USB-A dongle-connected mouse & keyboard combo & then charge a couple USB-A and/or USB-C devices. Each of others I've purchased worked well... until they didn't.At work (now that we have to go in couple/few days a week) they purchased another brand of docking station that seemed to work well, so after my last WFH hub stopped functioning, I started looking for a higher quality solution. I've had several Anker products in the past with which I was well pleased (e.g. chargers, a power bank, bluetooth car chargers/audio solutions for older cars without real "connectivity"). Given that good experience and high marks in the reviews, I ordered.I think Anker has a bad batch of these docking stations!! The first one I ordered, I hooked up immediately and it worked well EXCEPT for the USB-A ports; I could charge with them, but they transmitted no data to support my webcam or mouse/keyboard. I tried other USB-A accessories, same issue. I tried different computers, same issues. I tried many things, no dice. Like most manufacturers, their "product support" chat-bot was almost totally useless, but Amazon Customer Service was great!! After explaining the issue and all I'd done to test the problem- they agreed that it must be a bad unit and immediately opened me an order for another with directions on how to return the first. 2 days later, the second one showed up- SAME ISSUE!! I tried all the things again- including more computers and searched online for potential solutions- many of which involved settings and drivers and the like-- the opposite of plug n' play!!Today, the unit I order from another manufacturer (that matches the one I have at the office)- worked perfectly right out of the box... with both the work-issued laptop (that may have had some settings tweaked) AND my personal laptop (which had no changes whatsoever.)

This powered docking station allowed me to organize a laptop, two monitors, a USB camera, a USB keyboard dongle, and a USB mouse dongle, and avoid power issues that were causing problems with our previous unpowered dongle setup. If you have a million things hooked up to your computer, I recommend checking out this product. It saved my wife’s home office setup!My only suggestion would be to have a few more USB ports - maybe one more USB-A and one or two more USB-C - to allow for expansion as peripherals change. I’d rather see that than SD and SD micro card ports.

I bought this at the end of November 2024 and it's currently the middle of February 2025. I read the reviews fairly thoroughly and made sure this compatible with my laptop and my one additional monitor. I was just a tiny bit apprehensive about the few reviews regarding this units. tendency to switch itself on and off randomly. Mine worked pretty well the first month, started cycling itself or turning itself on and off after that honeymoon period and now I can't get through 10 minutes worth of work without it acting up. I've gone through all the typical routine checks and verifications. I logged on to product support today and sat there for 20 minutes waiting for any response from the Chabot. I don't have a ton of time to deal with this because I work for a living and apparently, I'm not allowed to return it. Chock this one up as a do not buy and a bad purchase.Update 3/3/24I was contacted by Anker. I tried their diagnostic procedures and was not able to get the unit to work. They promptly refunded my money. Good Seller. Thank you.

I tried many docking stations including dell and other brand but this one is the best. Never see any flickering problem. Works great
