TargusUniversal USB-C Dual Video 4K Dock, Clever and Comfortable Design With Power, Black (DOCK180EUZ)

I bought this to allow me to run an M1 Mac book pro with 2 external monitors. 1HD and 1 4K.So far, it does what it says on the tim and I’m a happy boy.You do have to download some software so it’s not exactly plug and play but it’s not too complicated.

This universal docking station works well in every respect execpt for two issues. The first is that the charger with the Targus unit is not powerful enough to charge my laptop and therefore, I need to use my laptop charger unit and the charger unit for the docking station. The second issues is that the USB c cable included connects the data between the laptop and the docking station, and the power if a separate charger to the laptop is not used. When using the USB c cable, when backing up to a NAS drive, the docking station crashes as the USB c cable cannot handle the data transfer and power the laptop at the same tim. So, if you use this unit with a laptop, you will likely need to purchase a separate charger unit for the laptop and a USB c to USB B cable to enable the docking station to work properly

This works a treat, just need to download the Display link manager and plug and play!

M1 MacBooks require DisplayPort software to use this dock, PC’s work straight off.Also doesn’t like HDMI / Display Port adaptors so only use HDMI-HDMI or DP-DP leads to connect to extra monitors.Also 60w output to Dell PC produces a low power warning.

Does exactly)y what it is meant to do. Plenty of ports.
