- Hiearcool USB-C Docking Station for Laptop, Triple Display Dock with 4K HDMI & 1080p VGA, 11-in-1 USB-C Dock with Ethernet, 100W Charging for Home Office

I ordered this USB C hub / laptop docking station primarily to support my desktop monitors, which it does well with a caveat. I have a 2019 Mac Book Pro and I needed to connect it to a couple of monitors that I have had for several years. My monitors support HDMI and since this product has two HDMI connectors, I figured I would be in business. Well, it didn't work out exactly as I hoped, but there are other upsides. I don't know if it is a limitation of this product or a Mac limitation, but when I have both monitors plugged into the docking station only one monitor is recognized. I got around this issue by using an HDMI to USB C connector and plugging one monitor directly into the Mac Book and the other into the docking station. Now both monitors are recognized and work perfectly. I don’t see this as too big a deal since the docking station provides so many connectors that I don’t mind taking up another Mac USB C connector. So that’s the caveat. The upside, which I didn’t expect, is that this is a very small unit (compared to other docking stations). It’s about the size of my hand and comes with a cloth case. As such, it easily finds a space in my backpack. I travel to customers for work and it is very handy when I have to give presentations and connect other non-USB C components to my Mac Book.

I had just purchased a new Lenovo which has no HDMI ports. I was looking for a device that would give me dual HDMI outputs along with extra USB ports. Another great feature is the card reader. I was happy it had this as I did not want to buy another separate device. Once I got it, I immediately plugged it into my thunderbolt port. I then connected my 2 monitors ( which are a bit older which gave me cause for concern ) and they both came on and worked with no issues. Next I used 2 of the USB ports for my wireless keyboard and mouse, no issues there as well. I then tried the card reader with an SD card, no issue there either. Later on I did try the additional USB ports to charge some phones etc. Another great thing is that I was given a laptop from work, which is a Dell, which surprisingly has a USB-C port. I say that because it is a couple of years old at this point. I unplugged it from my new laptop and connected it to my work laptop and everything worked. I was very surprised and extremely happy that it "just worked". Now I can switch between laptops instantly and with no issues. This is a great all in one device for someone looking for a quality, inexpensive option. There are a couple of small things I think can be improved upon. First, although the quality seems fine, it is plastic, it would be nice if it was a bit thicker or made from metal with cooling vents. Secondly, when I put in the SD card into the reader, it stuck out about 90% of the way, it does not go in very far. It worries me a bit because it someone where to knock into it accidentally, I feel it can break off inside. Probably won't happen, just would feel better if it went in almost all the way. And lastly, the cable from the unit to the USB-C port is very very short, only about 4 inches. I did buy and waiting for an extension cable, but would be nice if this came with a cable that is at least 12". Only a few small things I have found so far. I highly recommend this product!

Lasted ~6 years. It’s a great docking station with all the ports you need. I did a 3 monitor setup on this one and it handled it perfectly. I’ve got to order myself another one as all USB ports gave up.

I couldn't be happier with my Laptop Docking Station Dual Monitor, USB C Hub with 2 HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA. This docking station has completely transformed my productivity and the way I work with my laptop. First and foremost, the multiple monitor support is a game-changer. With two HDMI ports, a DisplayPort, and a VGA port, I can connect multiple external monitors, allowing me to expand my workspace and multitask like never before. The ability to have multiple screens for different applications or projects has significantly improved my efficiency and workflow. The build quality of this docking station is excellent. It feels sturdy and well-made, and the ports are precisely placed for easy access. The compact design means it doesn't take up much space on my desk, and it's also portable, making it a versatile solution for both home and office use.

The Hiearcool UCN‑3270 Dock provides outstanding versatility at a budget-friendly price. It’s well-suited for users needing multiple legacy ports and multi-display support, particularly in office or light home setups on Windows. It’s robust and reliable—though it does have limitations. Ideal for: • Windows laptop users with Thunderbolt 3 or USB‑C Gen2 ports • Those wanting Ethernet, card readers, triple display, USB-A, and charging via one compact unit • Cost-conscious buyers seeking more functionality without high price tags Drawbacks to keep in mind: • Not a Thunderbolt dock — display and data bandwidth is limited • Requires external PD charger (≥72 W) — adds to total cost

I've been using this hub since Dec 2019. I work a hybrid schedule. Super happy with how durable it has been and the number of ports it has. I connect 2 big monitors, laser printer, headset, keyboard/mouse dongles. I only have one headset for work and home so I push and pull that dongle out frequently. All the slots still work great. The USB-C port wire to the laptop is very short. Since I use the Webcam on my laptop for conference calls, I place the laptop behind the 2 full size monitors. I wish that wire is longer.

This is a Great device for what it promises. It did come with a variety or ports. And looks very nice etc . However there are a few things your really should know. If want to use this item to attach additional monitors and your Laptop's power adapter isnt USB-C , you wont be able to plug into the hub's USB-C Power Delivery port. (because thats the only option) And the additional monitors will not work. Also buying an additional 75W- 72W (min recommended power supply) power adapter is a bit pricey. The VGA port did not work on the item I received. (Yes i did try multiple cables and monitors) The Micro SD card slot also did not work. However the (larger) slot for the micro sd card adapter did work. All the Other USB ports did work just fine. Quick and easy. Plug and play. However, This little device got very hot to the touch. So hot that I was very concerned about having it on my desk. It remained very hot , even when I removed all other devices and had only 1 USB dongle plugged in for my wireless mouse and keyboard. Which was very much alarming. The description does have a partial list of compatible laptops. But the comments did say that any laptop will work. For the cost Avg amazon cost of $70USD. To have the unfortunate experience of this item not being something that works for you , may just be as easy as returning it etc. But if you are ordering from another country (like myself), It may end up costing you more than what you spent on the item, just to return it. I had such high hopes for this item, mainly because of all the good reviews. And having to work from home now due to covid-19 restrictions. You try to make the work space a bit easier . Unfortunately , I did not have the best experience for this product. And I would have to not recommend this product. spend your money elsewhere.

I needed an alternative for the Microsoft Surface docking station which would drop my USBs with regularity. I have two external monitors and a Surface Book 2. I found this device because, even though the Surface Book 2 does NOT have the correct USB-C, the manufacturer info said that the Surface Book 2 was supported for multiple monitors. The upside is that this device does work with the Surface Book 2. I run three monitors (2 HDMI and the internal monitor). Having all of the USBs in a single module makes disconnecting easier when I go mobile. Instead of having to unplug the two things I had plugged into the keyboard, I have everything plugged into the device and when I go mobile I just unplug the device and take off. The downside is that about 2-3 times a day both monitors go black for a couple of seconds as others have also reported. Its not long, but it is disconcerting. I have had a few days where I haven't had any black outs, but its likely 3 times a week. I have had my keyboard drop a few times and have had to unplug it and then plug it into another socket. That is the only external device that has shown issues. The other odd issue is that when wake up my Surface Book 2 I usually lose my ethernet connectivity. I have to disable and re-enable the ethernet device to get it to work. I use this as a home docking station as opposed to a mobile one so I cannot really comment on its use in that manner, but I suspect it will function just fine.
