Having purchased another big name docking station that failed miserably to connect to my lap top , to charge it or pass data , and then having to fight to get my money back, I gulped at the thought of buying essentially the same thing from Anker. They aren’t cheap but buying this one which at its public price was cheaper than the big named discounted price was still worrying for a second time. Luckily I had an old Anker simple multi USB adaptor and I was able to fix it to the USB port on my laptop to find that it connected fine and it wasn’t the fault of my brand new laptop. So still worried I took the plunge and purchased this docking station. This unit was smaller than the last but looked way more professional, it had no big bulky box on its power lead and the outlets were better placed. It neatly stands upright so saves room and it has LIGHTS and power outage guages. Here goes . It powered up and the online instructions though far from great assisted. Straight off the bat everything worked, all my peripherals plugged straight in and worked. The lap top charged by the unit without the lap tops bulky lead seamlessly . Two gripes 1. Like all these units for me it lacked enough USB connections but routing my other Anker powered USB adaptor through one of its ports solved that. 2. It remarkably didn’t come with a usb C to C lead which luckily I had. If not for those two points this would be 5* I’m no tech guru so working easily was paramount and this seems to . Read more

I like Anker products usually but this really fell short - It's not display link so it can only do 1 HDMI output on an M1 Max Macbook, it's deceptive as most of the ports on the front are for charging. The display is nice but I found that the HDMI often lost contact with the mac and drives sometimes. As other people have said, doesn't actually appear to be build for power users, I'm a video editor and sometimes running several drives off the ports and it doesn't seem up to it and don't gain as many useable ports as you'd assume from looking at it.

I really like this Anker Prime 14-in-1 Docking Station. It’s compact, stylish, and doesn’t take up much space, which is great for my setup. The display screen is a nice touch, showing power distribution and connected devices at a glance. It also has plenty of ports, and some can even charge at 100W, which is handy for powering my laptop and other devices. You can also set custom power distribution for your charging devices, but you need to download the Dock Manager software to do this. It’s a useful feature, but it would have been nice if it could be adjusted directly from the dock itself. The biggest downside is that the HDMI ports are only HDMI 2.0. That means a max refresh rate of 144Hz, which is disappointing since my monitors support 180Hz. It would have been great to have HDMI 2.1 or at least some DisplayPort connections. It does support dual 4K at 60Hz, but keep in mind that your laptop needs DP 1.4 with DSC 1:3 for that. If you’re on Mac, it’ll only do dual 4K at 30Hz. Overall, I’m happy with it, but since this is one of Anker’s newer docking stations, I would have expected more up-to-date display connections. If it had HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort, it would be perfect!

Reliable dock! Does the job, I'm able to fast charge as well as use dual monitor setup. It's missing display ports but I'm fine using HDMI in my setup. Read more

Smaller than I thought, Great build quality but you’d expect that for the price, it’s just plug in and play really, it has made access to my 2 x20tb hdd’s quicker and easier and as a bonus I can dispense with the laptop charger 🔌 ! The display is ok but I would say it’s more of a gimmick than anything else. And yeah there’s cheaper docks but you’d be hard pushed to find better quality than Anker . Read more

I had high hopes for this docking station, but unfortunately, it didn’t meet the demands of a more professional or creative setup. I connected an external sound card, a 32" monitor, and a couple of MIDI controllers — and the whole system started to struggle. The dock caused my computer to randomly reset, the monitor's refresh rate and resolution dropped below acceptable levels, and USB connections became unreliable. It simply couldn’t handle the bandwidth or power required for this kind of gear. This might work fine for basic office use — connecting a keyboard, mouse, and maybe a small second display — but if you’re a musician, designer, or anyone running demanding peripherals, this isn’t the dock for you. Disappointing, especially for the price. Read more
