IOGEAR USB 3.0 9 in 1 Universal Docking Station – Dual Monitor with HDMI n DVI/VGA – 2 x USB 3.0 – 4 x USB 2.0 – Gigabit Ethernet – 3.5mm Audio Out – Laptop – Ultrabook -PCs – Mac – More – GUD300

Great dock. light and portable.
This thing is a life saver. A quick and easy way to have a multiple monitor setup. Whats even better is that it allows my laptop screen to function as a 3rd display, which my docking station at work can’t do. That’s what I really bought this for. The pluses are additional USB ports, which are great because my laptop only has 2 USB3 ports. The 4 USB2 ports are good for a mouse and keyboard and other USB2 devices. I haven’t used the ethernet yet, since I haven’t run a cable from my modem. No on/off switch, but I use the switch on my power conditioner which also turns off my monitors and speakers, so I dont miss it at all.The multiple display was easy. Pretty much plug and play. Well, that is after I got them plugged in. Here’s the issue with this, not a major issue by any means, but easy to deal with if you know ahead of time. If neither of your monitors have HDMI input, you WILL need to use an adapter. If your DVI input does NOT have 4 holes for the 4 pins around the flat slot pin, you CANNOT use the adapters that come with it. I thought hey, since they also had a DVI to VGA, maybe i could use both of those adapters and basically have HDMI – to – DVI – to – VGA for one monitor. NOPE. The way the adapters are gendered (male/female) you cant couple them. Luckily I had a HDMI-to-DVI adapter of my own laying around, otherwise I would have had to order one and wait for it to arrive.Also, if you buy an adapter, if you can get one that has a female HDMI input. That way you can connect to the dock with HDMI cable and the adapter goes into the monitor. The spacing of the HDMI and DVI ports on the back of the dock makes for a super tight fit for bulky adapters. I barely squeezed mine there.Great purchase. Just first look at your monitor before placing your order. If you plan on using two monitors and neither of them have HDMI, then check for those 4 holes for the pins surrounding the flat pin. If they arent there, you will need to order your own HDMI-DVI adapter. You dont need anything expensive. It’ll suck if you have to wait for another delivery.

Our company has ordered multiple of these
Easy to set up, has multiple ports, and reliable. Our company has ordered several of these and have had no issues with any of them and some we have had over a year. Will order again.

Lacking capabilities
Lacks support for ultra wide resolution (3440 x 1440) and built-in NIC doesn’t have driverless support for Linux (many other USB NIC are supported)

Great solution for mobile computing!
This docking station was super easy to set up, and worked flawlessly right out of the box. Be sure to install the latest software updates before trying to use multiple monitors. We have a Dell laptop connected to two displays using the HDMI and DVI ports, along with several USB devices, and everything works great! So much easier to only have the power cord and one USB cable to plug into the laptop now!

Let me start by saying I have limited knowledge of computers, so trying to find a docking station on my own was a daunting task… Nowhere does this indicate this little guy will work with a chromebook, but I decided to take my chances. I connected it using a USB 3.0 connection to my Asus C202SA-YS02. I was expecting thorough disappointment, but was pleasantly surprised that it extended my desktop, and allowed me to hook up my bookshelf speakers too. I am very much looking forward to setting the whole thing up with my ergo keyboard, mouse and second monitor. Though it will only allow you to have an output of 2 usb 3.0 hubs before it drops to the 2.0 connection for all usb ports, it’s still a fantastic deal. I tried it out by watching a youtube video. This is a great option for a technically challenged person like me! 🙂 I got it on a deal where I saved about 10% of cost, but would be happy to pay full price. Just as a friendly FYI, This does not charge the stuff you plug into it like the docking stations I had used in the past.

Me sentí atraído por la idea de conveniencia de tener un docking station, sin embargo ha sido una fuente constante de frustraciones. Los componentes dejan de funcionar al azar, a veces el mouse, a veces el teclado, a veces el ethernet… en sesiones muy cortas pero a veces también en sesiones largas, es totalmente impredecible. Los displays son una constante fuente de conflictos, nunca funcionó con 3 monitores (intentarlo resultó en pantalla azul), solo funcionó con 2 en configuración extendida, al clonar crasheaba. En general problemático. Lo intenté con dos computadoras diferentes, con Windows 7 y Windows 10 y en ambos presentó problemas, aunque particularmente en Windows 7. Ojalá y funcionara bien, prometía ser un gran producto, no me quedó más remedio que solicitar devolución.
