Despus de investigar bastante, me inclin a comprar este en lugar de un Hub. Cumpli bastante mis expectativas, lo ocupo para conectar mi PC de escritorio y mi laptop, solo tengo que cambiar un cable para conectar todos los perifricos sin problema.
Algo que pude notar, es que en windows 11 tienes que descargar los drivers directamente de la pgina de Pluggable, ya que los que descarga en automtico no funcionan tan bien. En windows 10 si descarga los correctos.
Easy to use works well, just wish thus came with a on/off switch
There was a problem with the item, but I contacted support and in only a few hours I got a new item sent to me!!! Besides the problem (that was maybe just a cable issue…) the service was SO FAST AND GOOD, I most recommend this seller!!!
The problem was that the docking station stopped recognizing the computer feed. Since when the problem did not occur it works well, and even more due to the fast and good service, the value for money is very high!
MOST RECOMMENDED!!!
(It is the way problems are delt with that separate the BEST from the others)
This docking station was exactly what I needed! I wish I bought this sooner. This works perfectly with my work computer (Macbook Pro Intel 2019 laptop) and I can easily swap to my personal laptop (Macbook Pro 2020 M1 laptop).
Very happy with this item! Just what I needed for a simple one cable hookup to a laptop. Needed some assistance with customer support and they were quick and thorough.
This product does what it says it does. I am able to hook up my MacBook(2021 Air) to one of my monitors via HDMI, the other one via VGA(Thanks to the adapter they send us). And it was able to extend the display, not just replicate (Which I found many other docking stations only did that for MAC)
The most important thing is to make sure you download the latest firmware. I went to their website and downloaded the firmware onto my mac and everything worked out so well.
PS. I have been using it for 1 whole day and had 0 troubles. I will update this post if I run into issues
Just received this product, downloaded driver, and was off and running. I’ve tried 2 other products, but neither had the wherewithal to be able to handle an HDMI cable, or a Logitech wireless dongle. This is pretty much plug a
It worked without drivers for two of my computers, worked after installing for a third, but doesn’t work for my work computer. Not the docks fault. Still works as a powered hub for the work computer, including audio, so I still use it with my work computer, just had to get creative with the displays. My SO uses it for two monitors and all peripherals without major issue.

I wanted a dock that would allow me to run two screens with my Lenovo Yoga 13 running Windows 8 (don’t ask) and one USB 3.0 port (no USB C). I was skeptical that I could find one, but for $100 bucks, this seemed worth trying. While it required a driver download (as stated in the updated Quick Start guide) and I had to search for one on the DisplayLink website, it installed without issue and I’m up and running. It would be nice if it had two HDMI ports and a DisplayPort port. I had to source a DVI-DVI cable but no biggie. I’m very happy I found a reasonably priced solution for my ancient laptop.
So much better than the off brand one. Multiple monitors work without any issues!
I like this plugable. I have my VGA and HDMI monitors hooked up to my laptop. I also have my usb wired mouse, keyboard, printer, portable fan, and headset all hooked up to it. I haven’t had any issues setting up. I actually just plugged the usb into my laptop and everything worked like a charm. I have my laptop and two extra monitors Very nice.
I am very happy with this purchase. It was easy to set up and works great. I could not find a docking station with a USB connection, this is a perfect solution.
I was dog tired of trying so many cables and hubs. Finally, this worked with M1. I bought a new one but a used one could save 20 bucks but I needed it right away so bought a new one
The product is great and does everything is supposed to unfortunately it’s not compatible with windows 10 and up
This thing works great. Additionally, in order for it to work, I had to download DisplayLink driver and add it to Screen Recording. Enabling Screen Recording on Mac OS 12 was not available in the instruction. Otherwise, everything works flawlessly. Love this. I now have all of my existing 4 monitors connected without any problem initially. Will have to wait and see about the device’s longevity, though.
Researched for quite some time for a docking station needed to expand my Predator with only 1 HDMI port due to some upcoming programming, networking, and aging eyeballs.
This was truly plug and play and came with 2 adapters. Currently using USB for mouse, headset, speakers with aux cable and monitor. Still have room left and room to spare on the laptop.
If there are any issues within the year I’ll update but this was the easiest thing I’ve installed this month.
Disappointed it doesn’t charge the laptop but it says it right there on the description which was my oversight. Affordable and works great for my giant monitor, was worried about that as well. If you don’t mind the charging bit, this is a good deal.
Downloaded drivers first as instructed then plug and play no issues. Glad to only unplug once when moving back and forth to the office
I have my laptop on my desk, sitting on a small riser for air flow. This unit fits right underneath. I have plugged into it 2 external monitors plus 2 USB hubs. I shopped around a great deal and was really surprised by the cost of other docking stations. Thus far (I had it for 2 months) no issues.
Simple set up. Once the app was downloaded everything worked like a charm. I really appreciated having the adapters included and the choice of connecting cables. I have 2 monitors plugged in plus using my laptop screen. Also plugged in ethernet cable, keyboard & wireless mouse. no issues.
I recently bought pluggable USB 3 universal docking station through Amazon. hHowever, the dvi adapter was faulty. I email the company about the issue and they swiftly sent me a new adapter without any cost. This is an amazing company that really takes care of its customer. The product is really good and I am enjoying it. Amazing guys. Keep it up!!!
Good docking station. This hub works very well with Microsoft Surface Model 1824. Surface actually works better once the MS keyboard was removed and I added a plain USB keyboard and mouse to the hub. First month use – no problems. For the MS Surface I downloaded the DisplayLink driver from the Plugable website, installed driver, reset Surface, all worked perfect from the start.
I was looking for a docking station for working from home and this one is great. I have my wireless keyboard/mouse adapter, lan cable and power cord plugged in. It was plug and play with zero setup on my end.
Got for my new HP to have all the ports for all my peripherals. Has plenty USB ports. Doesn’t have a power button so I have to open my laptop every time I boot it up. Has its own power cord so it doesn’t need to draw on the laptop for power.
Comes with required connector adaptors for VGA/HDMI monitors. Enough USB ports to support keyboard, mouse, other charging cables you might need at your desk. No heating issues. Works perfectly with MacBook pro with m1 chip.
Improvements:
The cable for(hub to laptop) connection could have been a bit longer.
I wish it was slightly smaller in size.
This docking station from PLUGable is the perfect device for me to extend the useful life of my legacy PC.
Not just for extending legacy equipment, but for modern current equipment also.
I bought this for my legacy tower PC.
My video card had failed and I could not find a legacy video card any where or find drivers for any that I did find. Trying to install a modern video card resulted in incompatibilities and a failed installation.
So, I was stuck having to use the PC’s VGA internal graphics . That did S*K bigly.
Until I discovered PLUGable…
So after much Internet and YouTube searching I finally discovered PLUGable…
I had never known about docking stations until I found PLUGable.
Then I discovered that there is a whole market for these things….
I decided upon PLUGable for its detailed product description on its website and the YOUtube videos I watched. No other docking station did as good a job convincing me to choose a docking station from PLUGable. And being a USA company in Seattle, Washington with TECH SUPPORT….. was such a PLUS.
Let me say, their TECH SUPPORT in a day when tech support is very expensive is OUTSTANDING.
My tech support rep provided me such a learning experience using this device I was overwhelmed and feel incredibly grateful for their support. Top notch. They go beyond what you’d expect from tech support from any company these days. I exchanged at least 15 emails with my rep and he replied to all my questions with unparalleled professionalism and USEFUL information. I filled in more knowledge blanks about my computer with him than I could have learned from hours of Internet searching… all of it very incredibly useful and helpful. You cannot buy tech support like that.
PLUGable…. this is your docking station….
10 STARS
This is a great product but my mouse/keyboard is plugged into one of the usb slots of the plugable and is slow. The mouse in particular is jumpy and almost unusable.
I had previously purchased a small (different brand) docking station around 30-40$ But there were limited ports and it was constantly hot the cord to dock to the laptop was extremely short. This product resolves all my previous issues TONS of ports, long cords to plug in the device and to plug the docking station to the laptop worth the money! Docking station doesn’t get hot and there is no loud fan noise or anything. Wish I had bought this from the get-go! GREAT PRODUCT
Relatively affordable USB C dock. I purchased this for my work office — I have a laptop provided, but mostly work at my desk and prefer to use a real mouse, keyboard, monitor etc. I plugged in the included USB C cable and it was instantly recognized and I was up and running within minutes. Currently running a USB keyboard and mouse, DVI monitor and speakers through an AUX connection. No problems at all. My current work laptop is a Lenovo Yoga x1 and this dock was a fraction of the price of Lenovo’s official product. This doesn’t include power through the USB C connection but that is OK and what I expected going on. While still not a super cheap buy, I think this device is useful enough that it’s ultimately worth it.
I purchased dual monitors for a Thinkpad X1 laptop. The docking station came with all of the right cables and adapters.
Worked with no problems!
This little station made all the difference at my desk since working from home now. Wish I had ordered it a year ago!
a little bit of difficulty with drivers, but real easy to use once the app is ready to go.
Used to dock my HP Envy x360 laptop into my home office setup.
– USB 3.0 port as single cable from my laptop via Plugable Dock to all the following:
– Drive two monitors, DVI-I port to VGA adapter, HDMI port
– (4) USB 2.0 ports, wired keyboard, wired mouse, printer, hi-res scanner
– Gigabit Ethernet connection, audio (speaker) connection
– Leaves a couple USB 3.0 ports for occasional connection to external hard drives for backup or other peripherals
It was simple to set up. All worked as advertised.
Muy sencillo de instalar, funcionalmente excelente, lo nico que no me gusta es que la conexin con la pc con cualquier movimiento ligero se desconecta. Basta con ajustar el cable y listo.
3 monitors plus the 4th screen the Macbook Air itself! 2 monitors on plugable and 1 more on the usb-c hdmi dock. awesome quality! and no lag! I’m so happy! You just need to install the DisplayLink Manager driver in mac and go back to System Preference / Security & Privacy / Screen Recording and hit plus sign to add the application “display manager” in the application folder and hook your Plugable via USB 3 on another USB-c dock that’s connected to the Laptop’s USB-c and That’s it. Hope this helps!
Connected all my devices without issues. I used this while working from home with my work laptop.
The unit works perfectly.
I needed it to connect my laptop with the Ethernet port because the Lenovo laptop I have does not come with a slot for the Ethernet cord (which is totally common for the newer generation of laptops).
Update: Customer service saw my review and quickly worked to help me. They reimbursed me for the replacement cable I had to buy.
The main connection from the Docking station to the computer via USB-C broke off. It looks like all the pins on the connector head separated from the cable.
I have been using this for more than av year for my Dell laptop to connect 2 monitors in parallel for office work. Surprised to see how seemless it works. No delays, connects without any issues, highly recommended.
I liked that the adapters for HDMI were included. Works like a dream on my MacBook air.
Hooked up in minutes with two desktop monitors plus my laptop (three separate monitors). I use wireless mouse and USB wired keyboard. Also plugged in stereo desktop speakers in the provided headphone jack. I will use my laptop camera and mic, but could plug in my USB camera and separate mic if I want. Plenty of extra USB slots.
works well but a little confusing in initial set up. Once figured out it works well!
Thus is just what I needed to get my monitor and keyboard hooked up to my laptop. It doesn’t seem to charge my laptop though so iI keep it plugged into the wall.
This is a great little hub! I liked it so much, I bought it twice (after the first one was lost). The only thing I wish it had that it doesn’t…another USB C3.1 port to plug in my newer gadgets.
It works perfectly! I’m astounded at how much data can fit through a standard USB.
Just what I needed for my expanded viewing pleasures in my home office.
I liked the size, number of ports and easy setup.
I needed a basic, simple, and cost-effective laptop docking station for my home office. Since I have used laptop docking stations at work, I was generally familiar with how they generally work. The set up for this model is pretty simple, and I would have had it set up an running faster of the Quick Start Guide didn’t have a bad link to the display driver. The correct page to download the driver is: plugable.com/pages/displaylink.
After installing the display driver, the rest is just plug-and-play. It appears to have sufficient power to run my external hard drives and USB hub. Thus far, everything plugged into the unit has worked properly, including my USB speakers. I also like the adapters that come with the unit, so I can run dual monitors if I wish and it comes with a USB-C connector should I upgrade my laptop. So far, I am satisfied with this purchase.
Awesome!! Downloaded Linux driver from DisplayLink website, and worked like a charm. Now I can alternate between my work/home laptop.
If your looking for a good affordable dock. Get this one!!! Great great value!!!!
Everything works, and has been for the last 2 weeks. I didnt even had to install anything!
Used to connect my latpop to everything via one USB-C port – two monitors, sound system, mouse, joystick, HDD and spare USB for charging phone etc… want to take laptop to another room? Just unlpug power and one USB-C – beautiful
I bought this to simplify my life as far as switching between work and home laptops. This unit is great. Allows me to simply unplug my personal laptop from my setup and slot my work laptop right into place. Bonus I had was my power adapters for both laptops were interchangeable. unplug 2 cables and swap and plug them back in. Couldn’t be easier.
I’m using this to run an old school AOC 21 inch lcd monitor with VGA, and a mounted 15.6 portable lcd. It also gives me plenty of USB ports for my external hard drives, mouse, keyboard, etc. The integrated Ethernet and sound output are also great for taking full advantage of my Fiber connection and lag free audio for movies and videos. All in one connection point.
Only hiccup is occasionally when I go to wake up my machine after its been sitting a while (its on all the time, 6 second boot up is still to long lol) only the laptop comeback up and the docking station doesn’t respond. I don’t know if that’s a sleep function on the unit or my laptop waking up confused. But a quick unplug and replug bring it all back to life in no time flat.
Easy setup. Works well. No problems so far. Running: Ethernet internet, 2 monitors, 1 printer, USB power to a laptop cooler, 2 USB extension wires to 2 USB receiver dongles, 1 USB 3.0 external hard drive, and another USB wire to a Lenovo video converter running a 3rd monitor. All from 1 USB 3.0 port on the laptop!
This docking station was easy to set up. I only needed to look at the directions a couple of times. It has been getting the job done without any issues for 2 months.
DH needed a dock that would work with his work laptop (meaning administrator privileges are VERY tight). Problem we needed to solve was finding a docking station that didn’t require downloading any software (and also wanted to get a universal docking station so we could use our home laptop with the multiple monitor set-up too). After copious hours of research, this unit was the winner. My dismay came when Step One in the instructions in the Quick Start Guide was to download the drivers! But it was promoted as being plug and play! As completely expected, downloading any software on the work laptop was restricted. The situation was explained to the company IT support. He said “bring it in and I’ll take a look”. Lo and behold, he connected the monitors to the dock (using the handy-dandy HDMI to DVI connector supplied in the box for moninto number 2), connected the dock and the laptop with the USB C cable provied and – voila – the screens came to life. Quick adjustment to set the diplay to extend and we’re good to go. NO DRIVER DOWNLOAD NEEDED! My point is, why oh why, does the Quick Start Guide say “download the driver” in step number one? If we didn’t have the IT support to demonstrate it wasn’t required, the thing would have been sent back to Amazon in frustration.
Very nice. Works great with my devices. These come with video adapters and multiple usb options. Very impressed with that. Seems high quality. My only complaint is that the power cables for these are very short. This seems like a major oversight on their part. The power cable won’t reach from a users machine to under their desk I am sure in many cases.
