Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station with DisplayLink

Great accessory

I purchased this device specifically to allow my MacBook Pro M4 Pro to connect to three external monitors and the built in monitor at the same time, using DisplayLink. It did this perfectly - effectively plug and play. I could only purchase it with a US or EU power cable but it was simple to swap it for an Australian one that I had already had. It only has two USB-A ports but it was easy and cheap to get an extra USB-A hub. As I have non-Thunderbolt oldish monitors and don't need very high resolution, I needed to also get a Thunderbolt/UB-C to HDMI adapter - but that wasn't too expensive either. The docking station gets warm but not too hot. Recommended!

I love this Docking Station

This Docking Station is handy. I am delighted with it as it works 100% as expected. Despite my experience with taxes related to my order, I am giving five stars. Nevertheless, it would be great if international customers could pay the VAT directly instead of letting FedEx handle it, which generates additional charges and hassle.

Hardware is perfect, software not so

The hardware itself is perfect, but the Display Link software is so laggy that makes almost impossible to use the HDMI ports. Better to use the type C directly to Display Port.
