VT4500

Love this docking station. Works perfectly. Easy set up. Saved a bundle.

Product is exactly what I needed. But the item was received with one faulty USB 3.0 Port. And another USB 3.0 Port failed 6 months later. Down to the minimum USB ports I can live with for what I purchased this item for. Seller - please reach out so I can get this addressed. Thank you

For MacBook Pro m1’s users a must have!. Also -works well with Dell latitude, Microsoft surface and other MacBook Pro models just fine.Re: M1’s - apple only officially supports extending to 1 external display on m1’s - just look at the forums or ask support, they’ll tell you.However, The VIsionTek 4000, 4500 and 4510 let you extend up to 2 external screens by using the DisplayLink software/drivers. Your setup can be two external screens plus the laptop screen.The displaylink driver works magic and allows for all this to happen.Caution - not all visiontek devices work with M1’s and displaylink drivers so model # counts ( example: the vt4800 will not allow 2 monitors and does not use the displaylink driver on M1’s VT blames apple for this. Who knows… I just know it doesn’t work like the 4510 does. )The 4000, 4500 or the 4510 is the way to go and I own a couple. They are solid.Current Setup:Dell latitude 3410MacBook Pro (i5)MacBook Pro (M1)Microsoft surface2 - Viewsonic vx2478 monitors via DisplayPort 1.4Logitech mouse keyboardLogitech webcamAll work fine and easily “dock on dock” via usb-c/thunderbolt 4.0 cableFull extended desktop across 3 screens with windows 10 or macOS 12.4

I was really happy with this for 1.5 years. Then I started having trouble with USB peripherals, requiring me to disconnect/reconnect or restart the dock multiple times each day to keep them working. Because this was a high-end (expensive) docking station, I was surprised to find that VisionTek doesn't provide drivers or firmware updates. They recommended that I update my Display Link drivers, which helped but didn't completely resolve the problem. I still have to unplug and restart the dock once or twice a week. The problem could possibly lie with my computer rather than the docking station.

I had the Lenovo Pro docking station, but it started having issues with my external monitors. I tried everything Lenovo recommended, but no joy. The monitors would just stop working or flash from time to time. I saw that Lenovo sells this VisionTek docking station with the new X1-Carbons, so I gave it a try. Excellent! Works great. It was just Plug-n-Play!

I bought VisionTek docking station for my son new Dell computer. It is listed as compatible with Dell devices.I sent it to my son overseas.1. We had trouble making it work. Wasn't easy.2. We found out that this seller is not respecting the warranty if bought at Amazon.3. I recommend you carefully check with seller if this product has warranty before you buy.

Works right our of the box, easy to follow instructions, so far so good. Install the DisplayLink driver on Macbook Pro M1 13 inch, two LG 1440p monitors look great. Seems a bit crisper using the display ports so went with them over the HDMI. It's been running for 3 days, I will update this review if anything changes.

Made working from home and personal computer very simple. Easy to function between the two.
