Issues with Targus docking station
on March 2, 2014
Posted by: FRC6
from Chicago, IL
I was hoping that this docking station would be commensurate with my HP docking station used at work. Wow, what a let down. The CD delivered was several updates behind. I went to the Targus website and after about :30 minutes of reading documentation, downloaded the latest sw. However, I could not get the docking station to work after several hours of work. I will probably return the docking station for a full refund. It would have been great if it could have lived up to it's press, but not worth the headache and stress.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

worth the money...no more unplugging the displays!

The additional USB 3.0 ports as well as many other port connections are always there and the docking station has its own power supply so whether I always leave my laptop on the desk plugged into the dock, which is most of the time or take it with me, I only have to unplug it from the dock. No longer do I have to unplug the many cables such as HDMI for display and the back-up drive connected to the USB 3.0 and the printer and other hardware such as a camera and cooling fan ECT. I am very satisfied. 2know, your extra displays need to match your laptop display such as full 1080pHD if your laptop has that level of display.

Works like it should

A lot of rumblings about this dock. I too had some issues upon first starting, but they were quickly resolved. Instructions said for Win 7 to just plug it in. Well, nothing happened until I used the available installation CD. From there, everything went as it should. The available assortment of power adapters are a nice touch as this should work with most laptops out there. I used the inclosed DVI to VGA adapter so that it's a simple process to go from my desktop to laptop using the 23 inch LG monitor. One thing I've read it should be worth noting is that I checked my USB 3 Host Controller Driver to make sure I had the latest. My laptop came with the latest driver so nothing required from me there but I'd certainly make sure before plugging everything in. It's always nice when things work like they should, and so far, I highly recommend this dock.

Solid product, does what is advertised

Product does exactly what was advertised for my wife's HP Pavilion DV6t-SE. Setup was a little confusing, but I was walking her through it while out of town. I prefer the universal as I will likely upgrade my laptop long before I will need to upgrade the docking station. I would defintely purcahse it again if I needed another docking station.

The product did not work with my HP2540P

Terrible docking station. You have to to use several adapters, the power supply did not match HP2540P power supply. Had to open up the PC to turn on PC, then change monitor settings, before I could use the monitor. I could not turn on my PC from the docking station??
Returned immediately for refund and ordered the HP prooduct through my business.

Poor Power connection and instructions
on November 24, 2012
Posted by: chje
Connection to computer is through USB cord - not explained in documentation. The power connector for the HP Envy does not engage well and also does not stay in. Apple magnetic system is much better.

Good hub

Overall this is a very good and stable hub. No disconnections, flickers, no hiccups. If you are going to use this with a Windows 8 PC, please do NOT install the drivers that came in the box. Go to their website, find it by model # (look in the box) and then get the software from there. If you get the latest drivers, everything works. Only one complaint. I use 2 extra monitors, DVI and USB, every now and then in the extra monitors there is a small problem with the mouse cursor where it jumps. I don't know if this is a Windows 8 problem or a problem with the HUB. For me it is not a big issue because the extra monitors are just to keep other windows that I don't use that often for reference. Overall for me it works, allows me to just plug in one USB cable to my notebook and looks cleaner.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Didn't Work
on March 6, 2013
Posted by: Avatarhere
I never got to find out if the Targus was any good or worked well. I'd bought the USB 3.0 with power, but there was no power tip that matched the Spectre Ultrabook 14T-3200 I purchased. Salesperson said it would, but didn't. Contacted Targus and, after first saying there was a match, they came back and acknowledged there was not. Would still work as just a port replicator, but too expensive for just that. I returned it. So, it may work well for others computers, but be aware it may not.
