UtechSmart USB C Docking Station Triple Monitor - Universal Laptop Docking Station 12 in 1 for Thunderbolt 3/4, USB C Dock with USB 3.0 and 4K HDMI for MacBook Pro/Air/M1/M2 & Windows

I was starting to loose hope that I could find an affordable option to use two external monitors with my new employer issued 2022 13 inch M2 MacBook Pro. The hub also connects my Razer Blackwidow v4 Pro via USB-C. So, easily meets my needs! There are a couple of hiccups every now in then where I find one or both monitors do not wake on keyboard and I find, the monitor has powered off, likely because it has lost signal. I also notice the lights on my keyboard are off sometimes. Resolution is swift by powering back on the monitor and unplugging/replugging the keyboard. The unit does feel warmer than I would prefer. But, seems to be holding up otherwise. Will update review if anything changes.

Having failed with a prior device, I already had Display Link downloaded on my laptop when this arrived in the mail. I hooked up the monitors and Voilá, Truly Plug and Play! I can now use my laptop monitor and two different external displays all with different screens/displays! No mirroring! I do use one VGA hook up and one HDMI, though there are two HDMI options on this device, as the VGA and HDMI were my available hardware options. It also powers the MBP (2022-M2) well and allows for other charging and connecting ports. It was nicely packaged in a box with a cloth carrying case for travel. Maybe over packaged, but a HUGE PLUS WAS THAT IT WAS A RECYCLABLE CARDBOARD BOX! Yay, no clamshell or extensive plastic.

At first this worked great. But then on the middle of my shift the internet had dropped, one of the hdmi ports stopped working. Had to run and dig up my old dock to use as a backup. I got this thinking it would be great to run two monitors along with my MacBook. Amazon is replacing this with a new one and hopefully I don’t run into the same issue. If I do, I’m certainly going to return the new one as well.

Received a replacement no charge. Thank you! Installed and currently working fine. Purchased last year in anticipation of wife working remotely in the coming months. Finally in February connected wife's laptop to network and 2 HDMI monitors. Worked great for a while then I started losing network connection, now 1 HDMI port is dead. Wife is not happy, now nobody is happy. Wish this were a more durable product, when it worked it was great.

Failed 2 years into ownership. Dock was static on the desk with rubber feet attached by me to provide better air circulation. I placed a 60mm fan next to the dock to cool it down as I noticed that it overheats. Cheap quality and low craftsmanship for an item that cost $100.
