Overview
A Dell laptop user with a desk full of gear gets one USB-C connection to several video outputs, wired Ethernet and a set of USB-A and USB-C ports. A Kensington slot allows the dock to be locked down, and an AC adapter powers it.
A tidy desk with several screens and wired internet from one connection is the reason to choose it, and the Ethernet port runs at a multi-gigabit rate. The limitation is a missing card reader, no headphone or microphone jack, and a compatibility list that names only Dell laptops.
Who it's for
An office desk or home workspace where a Dell laptop docks daily to monitors, a keyboard and a wired network. Owners of other laptop brands, or people who read memory cards at the desk, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Several video outputs from one cable
- Multi-gigabit wired Ethernet
- Kensington lock slot
- Mix of USB-A and USB-C ports
- No card reader
- No headphone or microphone jack
- Dell laptops only listed
- Weight listed inconsistently
Performance notes
Display output is limited by the DisplayPort and HDMI versions on the dock and by the laptop's own graphics, with a stated cap on refresh rate. Wired network speed is set by the Ethernet port rating, and the USB ports share the single link back to the laptop. The dock draws its power from its own adapter.
