USB C Docking Station, PowerExpand 9-in-1 USB-C PD Dock, 60W Charging for Laptop, 20W Power Delivery Charging, 4K HDMI and DisplayPort, USB3.0&USB2.0 Data, Gigabit Ethernet, 3.5 mm Audio

9 months of use review: I have used this for DELL laptops without its accompanied power brick whose models are 5 years apart and the dock continues to work, howbeit I would get a USB port under powered complaint from Windows 10 and 11. It would still charge till 100%. I figured I would not get this error if I use DELL's docking station which would cost twice as much. I have also used it to connect to a SAMSUNG 13" laptop that is non-EVO so the SAMSUNG power brick is connected and it is smart enough to not cause power problem. Both back USB ports I am using for a RAZER RGB keyboard and its mouse. I also have a DELL 38" curve monitor connected via DisplayPort. The PD is used to charge my phone while I am at my desk. All these devices are connected simultaneously, no issues. What I don't like: The USB error from Windows. That is my only annoyance.

I'm updating my review to say one of the replacements has now failed in the same way the first two failed. No power supplied to laptop. Connect a USB-C PD tester, and sure enough: no voltage on the upstream "laptop" port, and no PD signaling. Mains power supply functioning fine at 20.2V. Not going to even bother replacing this. Anker/Amazon know there's a problem with the device, as they've made it hard to find with search, so I'm guessing I'm not the only one. Avoid avoid avoid this device, particularly second hand. --- Original review --- I chalked up the first failure to chance. I reached out to Anker and they were very kind (Ticket 86092346) but required me to ship back the failed unit before they'd ship me a replacement. I sent the initial failed unit out September 17 2021, and received the replacement 11 days later(!!) on September 28th. Oof. But time went on and the second unit, as well as the replacement, both kept going. Until this morning; the second unit has failed in precisely the same way as the first. I'm not waiting two weeks for a new unit this time. Note that if you are reading this and decide to buy it anyway, the power button on the dock is worse than useless. On applying power (say, from a power interruption or a switch on a power strip) the dock defaults to "off". That means no USB, no power to your computer. You need to find that power button and press it to turn on the dock! Why?? This is such a crummy design and is very un-Anker. This product ultimately feels like a bad OEM market grab. Extremely disappointed. The two docks didn't make it through one school year and between the failures and needing to randomly turn the docks back on (I cannot emphasize enough how weird and bad this is) I really wish I had purchased something else... and after writing this review, I am.

I have tried THREE thunderbolt docks. I have a laptop that I use a dock with to connect to my monitors (1440p 60hz and a 1440p 144hz). No real issues UNTIL I try to play games and I get flickering and black screens. I think this is a USB4 issue (still fairly new so drivers are iffy). Anyways, this was my answer! I get no more flickering/black screen while gaming! Also, they say it won't support 1440p 144hz but Im running two monitors 1440p 60hz and 1440p 144hz, soooo guess it does work? Keep in mind my laptop supports USB DP Alt mode 1.4. Anyways so far so good it works great. Wake from sleep still doesn't work but it didn't work with the thunderbolt dock either.

We have 100+ of the Anker 13-in-1 units, and have had fairly good success with them. We were excited to see this model when it launched because it is smaller, gave us a better port selection and less expensive. The first one came with USB3.0 drivers installed and works flawlessly. The next two we ordered came with USB3.2 drivers and our users are losing their network connection multiple times a day, all day long. Requires either a reset through the Microsoft troubleshooter or a reboot to fix the issue. Laptops have 3.0 ports and are only 1-year old. So we're trying rolling back the ASIX driver to 3.0 and see if that helps. I'll update this later once we know more.

I purchased this for my MacBook Air M1, and it worked well enough when I received it. Having a power button on the device to turn it on and off is a little awkward, especially since I have a standing desk. The power button prevented me from hiding the dock under the desk. For the price, it is an excellent dock option for a MacBook. But, I immediately noticed that after waking my MacBook from sleep, the connection to my external display would not always come back on. When the external display did come back on, it would periodically blank the display even though the laptop still believed it was connected. I was using the HDMI port for the external display. Today, the entire dock randomly disconnects from the MacBook. I lose the display and peripheral connections, such as my webcam. It keeps flapping the link. I tried swapping the HDMI and USB-C cables between the dock and MacBook, disconnecting most peripherals, etc. The dock is unstable, and I may have a defective one. I wanted to like the dock because it feels solid, has the ports I need, and doesn't cost over $200. But it's not usable. I am going to have to try something else. I still believe Anker makes quality products, but this experience could be better, and, unfortunately, I will be more careful choosing their products. EDIT (2023-04-03): Anker's support was excellent! The rep I spoke to found my order, acknowledged the dock was still under warranty, and sent a replacement before I had to ship my dock back. I'm adding a third start to the review for Anker coming through on customer service. It will take some time to see if the product holds up or if I continue to experience the same struggles, power button inconvenience aside.

have two setups home and office, this way only need to carry laptop around and one cable to set everything up. need to hit power button to restart if there is a power outage

I've bought one of those a little over 2 years ago. I really enjoy Anker for multiple other product but this was a bust. From the get-go, the aux wasn't working for my headset. A few months later, I decided to contact Anker because I was getting tired of not being able to use my device completely. After receiving the new unit, everything worked fine for another few months and it's been degrading rapidly ever since. Aux not working again, the front usb 3.0 stopped working not too long after, HDMI stopped working and now the entire thing won't connect. If you need something to use once a month, it might be a good deal, but for daily use, you'll have to plan a budget to replace it shortly after owning it.

Runs a Samsung G9 at 5120x1440 120Hz right out of the box with simultaneously charging ThinkPad Nano X1 (that requires 65W) through the same thunderbolt cable. Didn't try it as dual.

This dock works well for the price; I have a Dell Latitude connected to the dock running a 4K monitor without issues. My previous dock had flickering issues, and this one has had none so far. Removed a star because 60W charging is a bit slow for my laptop; not a big concern, but something to note. Further, the USB on the back of the dock is only 2.0, would be nice to see a more modern standard on a dock like this.

It’s hard to find a dock that will give you full speeds on the Ethernet port. This one does! Works great with a usb 3.2 Gen 2 extension cable as well
