It's a dell product so it's going to be mired in mediocrity. The power button doesn't really work and I need to open my laptop lid in order to get my laptop out of sleep or to use the laptop button to turn on my laptop. I had to ditch a third monitor since the port on the dock stopped detecting it. It's pretty much what I expected: won't work completely right but at least fulfills the basic minimum so I can perform my tasks. Been instructed to update laptop but of course my bios update fails on my laptop which is 2 months old. This bios fail happened on two other dell laptops so it isn't just this one.
I like the low profile and it has enough weight to stay put on the desk.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've had this for a few months now and the unpredictable noisy fan is making it difficult to work with. In all other respects its a fantastic device with all the connections you need but that fan noise, man! I've had the service call, updated BIOS/Drivers, etc. A helpful Dell tech even took control of my PC to try and fix. It did get better for a while but its worse again. Intermittent loud fan but no airflow seems to be coming out. It's not even warm.
I bought two dell monitors and wanted to connect them to my Mac so I got this dock. Well a week and 3 support calls later I determined that this dock is not compatible with Mac. How hard would it be to add which operating systems the dock works with. Lots of easily avoidable pain and frustration.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
