I have been keeping my eye out for a docking station / USB hub with three displays and at least one being 4K@60hz via HDMI and DisplayPort.

This satisfies my requirements so thought I'd share it since it is 30% off RRP.

It is the lowest price it has ever been according to Camel (https://au.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B08PD5R1QM), although I did find last year's Prime deal on OZB @ $54 (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/632831) - as far as I can tell they are the same.

  I'll be amazed if you can use all 13 ports at once at max functionality

  • 

    Kenn Oath on 12/07/2022 - 11:53

    Ha, yeah, fair enough. I suppose I'm not expecting to ever use all the ports at once. Just nice having the option of the different ports.

    *BTDT - I have one of these units. Out of curiosity, I tried it out fully loaded to the hilt. Ethernet, USB-C, USB2.0, USB3.0, microSD, SD… all 13 ports! Works a charm. All work and no glitches. I have a HP laptop with a very skinny body and no room for any ports except power, USB-C & Thunderbolt. This is a great (& for me) must have accessory. This is self powered via the USB-C connection and no additional power supply required. Would not not recommend in circumstances where the host device does not supply enough power. Always check.

    CONS: None, except you must ensure that the USB-C is firmly connected when attached (could be more robust).

    Purchased last years Prime Day sale for $52.00 and today's price is still a bargain compared to the cheaper yum-cha specials. This unit is well built and fully supported by WavLink. Recommended you check for the driver updates when you are using it for the first time. Web-site is literally a web, but you will find the update eventually. WavLink has a myriad of current and legacy models.

    *BTDT = Been There, Done That :)

      oh wow did not expect that, I have a triple monitor setup up now and thinking of increasing to a 4 monitor setup later but unsure now due to the limitations of the 30Hz as I game frequently

  How to use one of these if your laptop has 1 USB-C port but that is used for the power supply?

    Plug your power supply into the USB C connector on the HUB. I have mine connected like this right now.

      rickb on 12/07/2022 - 12:01

      Thanks. Thought I had done just this but the battery icon in the system tray did not indicate that the laptop was being powered.

  Note that you can only do 30hz on the 4k output if you are running more than 1 monitor. I have this one and it works well, just the 30hz thing annoys me.

    Kenn Oath on 12/07/2022 - 11:52

    Thanks, that is good to know. Are you keeping an eye on any other options?

  superveggies on 12/07/2022 - 12:14

  Can it be used with a Chromecast TV?

    This review (https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/customer-reviews/R38BHVN61LIY2S) seems to indicate that you can with some caveats, but might be best to contact the store.

    If you mean Chromecast for Google TV, I would not recommend. Look for a hub that is powered with a decent psu. I just purchased a Chromecast with Google TV and I know that this unit won't cater for it.

  If you don't need Ethernet, DP, 3.5mm, and multiples of all the ports, theres also this version which houses an M2 SSD: https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B09YHHVJRN/

  I've just bought one for my iPad Pro.

  What about this; it can take two monitors at 60Hz.

  • 

    Kenn Oath on 02/08/2022 - 16:58

    Only at 1080P though
