Glad I decided to build a full system - this docking station saves me set-up time. I just plug my laptop in, make sure the monitors are turned on, and I’m “at work” in minutes.
I purchased this dock and monitor bundle for my home office. It connected my laptop to a monitor and printer and meets all my needs. I needed a monitor for my home office and this bundle has been sufficient for my needs.
Bought this and tried a HP Thunderbolt 4 docking station to upgrade a older HP USB-C/A Universal Dock G2. Nether one of them worked with my older Macbook or newer Alienware. Enshitification at its finest.
I continually got the "peripheral connected/disconnected/no wait connected/now disconnected" sound in Windows when my non-HP laptop was locked. It just wasn't quite compatible. And the power button didn't work to turn on my machine. Oh well.
