Targus Universal Docking Station With Laptop Power, USB-A 3.0, SV 2K, Dual Video 1K Video, Black (DOCK171EUZ)

tl;dr; This dock is affordable, worked with anything I through at it and also has a usb-c adapter available separately making it great for older and newer machines if required.I now have two of there docking stations in my household, one originally for my mother for working from home and one recently for myself also for working from home, we both had slightly different needs with some overlapping so I will address both separately.My mother started working from home in lock-down and originally had everything plugged into her work laptop directly, she expressed she wished to have a second monitor which was not the laptop screen as her eyesight was not so good and that she also wished she had the ability to unplug and take her work elsewhere in the house from time to time but didn't want to spend a lot.I recently have been forced by work to abandon current remote login methods for a dedicated work laptop, this new laptop is usb-c only, but I also have an older dell laptop I wished to use it for also if I was going to the trouble of getting a dock. and as this was really only for work I didn't want to be spending much.This dock met all the needs abovePros:- It's low cost,- it's easy to setup,- haven't had any issues so far which doesn't add one more thing to worry about in my life as family tech support.- it comes with a range of charging tips for most older branded laptops and also has a handy chart telling you which tips to try based on your brand.- a not included usb-c adapter is available if required (which I now have) this is 40 pound new but can be found second hand for only ~20 euros.- it supported my 1440p monitor over the HDMI out.- Worked with my Linux machine.Cons: I honestly have not found any yet, but in the name of giving some effort in review I will be extremely picky for this.- it's not a big dock but the tip compartment does take up half its volume, it is removable but does not reduce its volume when doing so, having this also reduce the footprint of the device would have been nice.- the cables going to the laptop could be a little longerHope this review helps.

I have been using the dock for work for over a month now. The dock is a fantastic piece of kit and well worth the sub £50 I paid for it. It feels like a bargain and was definitely a no brainer. It comes with powertips for most modern laptops, apart from USB-C charging laptops which is not much of a problem as those laptops also tend to have the legacy power tips. I was quite surprised at how good the dock felt as well, andit felt of a reasonable quality. I think these docks usually retailed for about £140, so to get this for how much I did was an absolute steal. If you want a dock and you see this for less than £60... don't stare a gift horse in the mouth!

Hi All,In June, 2021 I purchased a Targus Universal Docking Station With Laptop Power, USB-A 3.0, SV 2K, Dual Video 1K Video, Black (DOCK171EUZ) And I have used it trouble free every day since then with many different Work and Home Laptops.Unfortunately, my employer has now changed my Laptop for one with a USB-C Power Cable,Now I am looking to purchase either a USB-C Power Cable or a USB-C Converter/connector to use with my Targus Universal Docking Station (DOCK171EUZ). Can anyone help?Docking Station still working fine ... I'm now just trying to go back to powering the Laptop from the Targus Docking Station :)Thanks in advance.

Bought for working from home. Great price and great product. No complaints about using it with Windows 10. Have a new computer with Windows 11 and struggling to find drivers. Targus is big enough brand to be able to supply drivers for Windows 11 and continue support. Very disappointed as this is not the first Targus product this has happened to.Overall: Great item, but watch the upgrades for Targus products.

Grym docka som jag använder både för privata datorn och för arbete. Var dock noga med att undersöka vilka datorer som stöds av strömadaptrarna. Den stödjer flertalet stora märken som Asus,Dell,HP etc men obs inte alla modeller.
