[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dock allows me to add all the peripherals I needed. The dual plug USB-C is a nice design touch. Two small issues I've had are that if you place the dual USB-C into your computer upside down, the computer complains it's not getting enough power and only one of the USB-C connectors lights up. When reversed, it works fine. The other problem is the power cord that connects to the dock (with the blue glowing ring), is not a tight fit and it slipped out slightly, causing my computer's battery to die overnight. Placement of the dock and its cables is important to keeping it working.
These things fail with absurd frequency. Almost every restart I have to unplug at least one of my Display Port plugs to get a monitor to turn back on. If my company wasn't buying them I would have moved on to a superior product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Issue with the dock is this. The 2 usbc cables go out and quit making good connections to the laptop. This is my 2 dock in less than a year because of this problem.

Works well, make sure you run updates to get latest firmware

Worked as expected and no issues. A firmware update was required to prevent a concerning boot up message, "Your dock connection has limitations.. To continue operating normally, your system may draw power from your system battery..." I had to go to a Reddit post to find that a firmware update was required.
