Customer Reviews for Dell Docking Station - Black - Black
Posted by: Blinden
Verified Purchase:Yes
It doesn't not have sufficient power for my laptop, despite being recommended for it. Upgrading to the dual power connector version. Also the Ethernet port disconnects after about 10 minutes, I have to plug directly into the Ethernet port on the laptop instead of using the on dock Ethernet.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Seems like a downgrade from my Dell E-Port Plus II PR02X

As a user of the previous Dell E-Port Plus II PR02X docking station, I feel like this docking station is a downgrade for several reasons. First, it has much less ports and connectors and different types of such -- such as only 3 regular USB ports. Second, it ends up awkwardly taking up more desk space than before when I could just snap down my laptop onto a dock that was largely just underneath my laptop. The cable that connects to my laptop is just sort of awkwardly in the way. Third, when I hibernate my laptop, I have to remove it from the dock right away otherwise the dock immediately wakes it back up. I'm sure there are other minor annoyances too that I'm forgetting right now. I hope Dell will rethink things and go back to a dock that you can just snap your laptop into.

These tend to stop working shortly after installing. It works well for the first couple of weeks and then the ports stop working efficiently. More often than not, the cable that gets plugged into your machine stops being able to charge your machine, USB devices stop functioning.

My dock has already failed. The data port does not maintain a constant connection. I connected my data cable directly to the laptop and it works fine

Would not buy again. Networking keeps dropping out. Updated the BIOS and recommended settings but same problem occurs on different models. Switched completely to wireless now.

doesn't always work and laptop has to be rebooted to correct issues; lots of times where the attached devices loose their connections (even after working find for a few hours and nothing being moved) and reconnect immediately which is a pain, sometimes video doesn't work right away or comes up with the wrong resolution, I eagerly update each time new firmware becomes available but so far performance is less than desired, I have at least 20 of these things installed and I am concluding that the few I don't hear complaints about are in use by people that feel bad about complaining.
