Anker Laptop Docking Station 3 Monitors, 14 in 1 USB C Hub, Triple Display USB C Docking Station with Dual 4K HDMI, 1080p VGA, 80W PD, USB-A/C Data Ports for Dell XPS and More (Charger not Included)

The main reason I purchased the Anker 14-in-1 USB-C Docking Station was to create a single workstation where I can easily swap between my home and work laptops while using the same peripherals—two monitors, keyboard and mouse, audio headset, and several external storage devices. It met all my needs and has exceeded my expectations. It instantly transformed my laptop into a full desktop workstation with just one cable. Setup was completely plug-and-play—no drivers needed—and everything worked right out of the box. Power delivery has been excellent. It charges my laptop while driving all connected accessories without any problems. The build quality is exactly what I expect from Anker—solid, well-designed, and premium-feeling—and it remains stable even under heavy use. That said, there are a few important things to note. Without a power input connected to the hub, only one HDMI output can be used for an external monitor, and the second display must remain on the laptop. I also use a Logitech USB-A Unifying receiver through the hub, and occasionally the keyboard and mouse performance is not as responsive as when plugged directly into the laptop. The dock can also get warm to the touch, which is expected with higher workloads, current, and power draw. Since the beginning of the pandemic, I’ve been working from home and do everything I can to preserve the life of my equipment, including running a small USB-A fan 24/7 to keep things cool—and I’ve had no issues so far. This dock has been a huge productivity boost and keeps my desk clean and organized with a simple single-cable connection. For the price, it offers excellent value compared to many other docks that cost much more and offer less.

I will leave my original review at the bottom. After I posted my original review Anker reached out and offered me a refund or a replacement. I opted to take the replacement and give them another chance to see if maybe the first one was just a bad unit. I'm an glad that I did. I have put the replacement in place exactly as I had the original and have been running it for a day now. It is driving two 1080p monitors and so far has not had a single issue. I have a 100w Anker USB C charger going into the hub and it is supplying power to my laptop. The hub does get warm to the touch, but that is expected and clearly noted as normal in the documentation. So I can give this a thumbs up and also have to give Anker a big thumbs up for standing by their products and having great customer support. Old Review: I guess I should have looked at the reviews a bit closer. I got this to drive 2 monitors. Something my machine is more than capable of doing with a RTX3070 in it. Hooking it all up the two monitors will come on and work but then randomly drop out. Sometimes it is just one sometimes it is both. They go black and stay blank. Sometimes they come back after a second. Sometimes they stay gone till I unplug the hub and plug it back in. The device is getting plenty of power as it is connected to an Anker 100w usb c power supply. In addition to the going blank, I have also noticed watching videos that now the video will get out of sync with the video on the monitors. This is very disappointing.

I only need output to two external 4K monitors. Another Anker docking station with "dual display" support did not work for me but Anker is generally a good brand and I decided to try this one with triple monitor support. This dock works well. Just plugged it in and it did the job. Stable images, no flicker or resolution issues. USB ports work, laptop charges. This dock is good.

Small , has enough ports. however it is getting hot, so far no issue but the it makes me concerned. Another complain that it has a short cable which only allows the unit stay very limited place and limited direction. So it takes some space on your desk. because all the cables you connect it doesn't allow it place your desired place.

I have DUAL VGA monitor setup that I could no longer use when a bought a new laptop with HDMI ports only. The hub was a perfect solution plus providing several handy additional USB ports for earbuds, phones etc. I never turn my new laptop off because its cooling fans never run when I am not using it . . . so the laptop has no moving parts when not in use. I had to replace my older Thinkpads that were running for several years without turning them off because they couldn't be upgraded to the current version of Windows 11 so NO MORE UPDATES from Microsoft. My only concern with the Anker docking station is that it runs fairly warm when the computer is ON but not in use. Wondering if it will last for several years at its elevated temperature. OVERALL, THIS ANKER PRODUCT IS FANTASTIC.

I was excited to see Anker sell a laptop docking station as it was so much cheaper than other brands. I have several Anker products and can usually rely on them so it was even more disappointing that after a few months, this docking station has several issues. At first, my headset worked fine, but now it doesn't. I tried different headsets and none of them work. When I plug it directly into my laptop it works fine. Every morning when I try to use my laptop, the keyboard & mouse work but the two screens don't display what it should. I have to unplug and plug it back in to make the displays show. It's a small thing, but something I shouldn't have to do at all. Luckily, this docking station/hub didn't cost very much or I'd be upset with the overall quality.

Bought this to setup a new laptop for my sister. The plan was to keep the laptop lid closed as she has a small space to setup the laptop in an amoire with an external monitor in another section. So happy that it had a VGA connector as she had a older monitor that was connected to her previous machine with VGA. All her peripherals worked great in including her mouse, keyboard, printer, external HD, and speakers. Unfortunately, when first booting up the laptop with the laptop power supply plugged into the PD USB C port on the dock, the computer will say that there isn't enough wattage and to use a higher wattage power supply. Not sure why it is saying that as the product description says it will pass through 100W and the laptop power supply is 65Wa. To be fair, in the product description they do say, "elect a wall charger that is at least 20W more powerful than your device's original charger." Now being that is a brand new laptop, I just used the power supply that came with the laptop. Be forewarned. Most users are not looking to purchase another power supply if they already have the one that came with their laptop. This is a show stopper because if my sister needs to reboot the machine because of an update which did happened yesterday, she will just get a black screen. She has to undock the machine, hit ESC to get past the message, log into the machine, then close the lid and redock to get her display to come up on the external monitor. It will wake up from sleep just fine but if she turns off or reboots the laptop, she has to do the whole disconnect, open the lid, get into the machine and then redock. She is not very technical so don't want to put her through this. I'm sure if we are able to leave the laptop open or was using a small desktop machine, the dock will work fine. We use OWC powered docks at work and they work fine so will probably swap out the Anker dock with a spare Lenovo dock I have that supplies up to 135W of power. So for our particular needs, the dock will not work for us but should work for most folks.

I was gifted 2 nice monitors when covid forced our office to close. I got this dock and HDMI cables to set them up. As luck would have it the monitors had every input but HDMI. I ordered 2 HDMI out to DVI in convertor cables, plugged them in and both monitors are working fine. I also have speakers, printer switch and a 1TB portable drive plugged in, all working well with my Dell laptop.

It is an excellent product and works very well.

En temps et en heure, Ok.

Für mein Home-Office genau das Richtige: Zwei externe Bildschirme laufen problemlos, und auch Webcam, Kopfhörer etc. lassen sich gleichzeitig anschließen. Alles funktioniert zuverlässig ohne Aussetzer. Besonders praktisch: Der Hub ist kompakt genug für den Rucksack und damit ideal für unterwegs. Für mich eine klare Kaufempfehlung – ersetzt problemlos eine klassische Dockingstation.

As the title says, great connection. I connect my laptop to this which charges quickly. Also connected are two screens, a mouse speakers and internet. Had for over a year now and still working.

Support wise it is good, all ports works no lag used 2 display at a time. Connecting cable is weak, within 6 months outer layer is started coming out. Getting too hot sometimes
