Targus USB-C Universal DV4K Docking Station with 100W Power (DOCK190USZ)

My wife and I both had M1 MacBook Pros. I upgraded mine to the M1 Pro for several reasons but the main one was to get dual monitor support. I bought this Targus dock to add the dual monitor support that my previous port replicator did not have. Imagine my surprise went after getting it to work perfectly for my machine, it also allowed my wife’s M1 Mac to support the same dual 4K monitors. It works beautifully for my M1 Pro machine, and we have the added bonus of her being able to her video editing on dual monitors now. Very pleased with it. Please note that you do need to install the DisplayPort drivers for this to work otherwise it won’t recognize the dock.

Works flawlessly so far. It would be great to have a few more USB ports (never enough), but this little box already has these cables plugged in:- USB-C cable to a laptop: Lenovo Yoga L13, 3-rd generation- BT adapter for wireless mouse, USB-A- USB-A keyboard- two DisplayPort cables (1 for 4k DELL made within past 2 years, 1 for a 10-year old 1920x1080p Dell) - both monitors run at their native 4k and 1080p resolutions at 60Hz- gigabit ethernet cable- USB-A cable from USB hub in the 4k DELL monitor- USB-A cable from recent model of Logitech BRIO webcam with Windows Hello supportAND it still has one more USB-C port left open. Very happy so far.Did not test: real network speeds, any other laptop, headphones port

I recently purchased the Targus USB-C Universal Docking Station, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in terms of functionality and convenience. This docking station has become an indispensable part of my setup, greatly enhancing my productivity. One of the standout features of this docking station is its exceptional connectivity options. With a single USB Type-C cable, I can now connect my laptop to a wide array of peripherals and devices. The inclusion of USB-A ports, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs, Ethernet connectivity, and audio jacks ensures that I can effortlessly connect my monitors, keyboard, mouse, printer, external hard drives, and even enjoy high-quality audio without any hassle.

bought this from third party seller, none of the video port works for any of my monitors(2k / 4k). Dont take the risk!

I'm really impressed with this dock, given that it's almost 2 years old when I bought it (Dec 2020).I needed a dock that can dual display 1080p monitors for the M1 MacBook Air and it delivers. You just google "displaylink Macbook M1 BigSur" and click the result that takes you to the DisplayLink website. Install it and grant the permissions which the driver walks you through. It worked like a charm and I don't mind the resolution at all as I only use it for work and nothing else. I can now triple screen set up with this dock. x1 Laptop Monitor and x2 1080p monitors. HEADS UP: It glitched out on (I don't know exactly what happened) but I can no longer use the "Clamshell Mode" on the MacBook Air. So that's why I have a triple screen set up now. Not a big deal but just a heads up.An added bonus was I was able to use it on my Dell Inspiron 7573 which only has a USB Type C (not Thunderbolt). Same process with the driver install and it worked perfectly.Definitely a great investment. I little pricey full price IMO but I got mine via Amazon Warehouse and it was in great condition.

This docking station works great if your using it with the DP display connectors. Even after downloading and installing drivers for the docking station, using more than 1 hdmi connection would not work on a dell 5300 2 in 1 laptop. Does a great job with providing power and all USB ports are working. I am not using it for audio so I cannot comment there.

On the value of money its amazing product.

This is the dock that will allow owners of Apple M1 laptops to use 2 monitors independently - using DisplayLink. I have the M1 Air, base model, tried other cheaper 'tricks' but could not get my screens to work. With this I am running 2 external displays (Dell E2216H) with Display port - no lagging, no pixelation. I downloaded DisplayLink (NOT the add on - as apparently that breaks things - Google it) and it just worked and is charging my Air too. I am not happy that I had to pay more $$$ to be able to use my new laptop on my screens, when my old work-given Windows laptop could use them without this special dock - but at the same time it's great to have 2 screens. I bought a re-conditioned unit and although the box it arrived in was very bashed it, it works great and saved me ~$50!
