Dell products are always dependable. Thus far, this one is no exception and it's so much more convenient that not having one. That said, I would have paid more for an option with more USB ports (maybe there was one and I missed it), and I really miss the on/off button that used to be available in the old snap in docks. Nevertheless, still a great accessory.
The docking station works and functions great with all the devices connected to it. No lag time. One connection to the laptop that powers up through the USB C connection. The only problem we experienced is that connecting to our local LAN takes a second separate IP Address for the docking station. Dell Support is working with us and found a workaround using the passthrough capability, but the solution still needs an IP Address for the Docking Station.
I need more usb ports in the front of the dock. The usb's in the back of the port do not work as I would like. They do not charge any of my devices. I have to use a usb port to supplement this. Otherwise, it works as intended.
It should note that you need the display port or hdmi cables
