TobenONE UDS013 15 Zoll 2 USB-C-Dockingstation Dual-Monitor-HDMI für MacBook Pro/Air

UPDATE: i am increasing from 2 to 4 stars and here is why: All i did was leave a review, and surprisingly the company reached out to me almost immediately. 2 stars isn't the worst rating, but they still felt it was worse than they deserved so both of that was impressive right away. They offered a replacement, which i accepted. The replacement is working great - just like the original did initially. I am just so impressed they tried to solve the problem without me telling them directly i had one. I wasn't fishing for a freebee or discount. I think this is telling about what they feel the quality of their product is, which means they aren't building anything substandard. That's why I raised the stars.Original post: The item works fine, it's that cable they supplied that's a mess. The slightest movement and monitors shut down. Maybe the cable they gave me is broken or something, but besides that everything else works fine

I posted this review with a 1 star initially. The company reached out and sent me a replacement free of charge. I have bought many things and posted many reviews not once has another company demonstrated the level of interest, persistence or care in fixing something that has gone wrong. WOW. If i ever need any adapter I will use this companies products first. Their replacement was super easy to set up and had everything up and running very quickly. Highly recommend!!!This thing is useless with a mac or a pc tried both mac and pc and we as never able to get my dual monitors running. It is useless there are other cheaper options on Amazon. Keep looking!

The dock station works well to wire my Macbook pro to two monitors, two printers, wireless keyboard/ mouse, external camera, microphone/speaker, Macbook charging cable and internet cable. After using the dock station for 14 months I experienced and issue and Tobenone was quick to provide me with a replacment under warranty.

How this arrivedThis arrived in a sturdy rectangular cardboard kind of retail type of package that had a sleeve, which, on the exterior had pictures of the product and some product information. The measurements of the package being “about” 8” x 6” x 3”. The package was “not” sealed by shrink-wrap, to protect the contents, rather, simply by the integrity of the cardboard packaging. The package weighed in at (674) grams, or about 1½ pounds, this was surprisingly smaller than I had envisioned, which is okay with me, I prefer smaller.Pros:15-in-2 is big, in terms of capabilitiesHas competitive priceIt's small.Cons:Really does not fully support certain Macs with M1/2/3 chips for a certain important function.Has too many incompatibilitiesI am the tech buyer in the family, looking to add fast, safe, connections. I thought this was it, at just an okay price. I thought TOBENONE's 15-in-2, which was at my price ceiling, was the do all. However, this device has a lot more incompatibilities than I expected, for instance with Windows operating based systems and way too many Macs – with the M1/2/3 chips, which I have been migrating to. It was disappointing, especially at this price point, I should have investigated this more; further, I opine this should be much more compatible with Apple's latest products, it's great with Intel based chips, however, Apple went back to proprietary chips of late.For those products that this does work with, it eliminates many peripherals and makes life simpler with all-in-one docking options.SizeAbout 2¾” x 4.625” x 2.375”.Weight?About 12 ounces.Can I charge my Mac through the 15-2?Yes, there is a USB-C pass through for powering up my computer and a 65w adapter is included.RJ-45 jack?Yes, with speeds up to a gigabyte, which is very handy.HDMI?Yes, dual resolution, up to 4K at 60hrz for mirroring and 30hrz for extended on an Intel chip. However, with an M1 chip, for instance, it only displays cloning, which I did not know and kind of defeated my original purpose for getting this.Fan?NoHeat dissipation?ExcellentMounting hardware?None, which is an issue, because this slides around a bit with any tugging, inserting, or pulling.Portability for travel?Yes, excellent.Power adapter?Yes, 65w.Cables included for connectivity?YesUSB 3.0?Yes, two (2) on the face and two (2) in the rear.Headphone/Microphone jack?Yes.USB-CYes.SD Card reader?Yes, micro, and full size. Which can be used at the same time.Country of origin?Made in ChinaFinal thoughts?Is this perfect? No. It would have been but for the M1/2/3 chip compatibility.Tech support?Available, however, I did not use.I hope my thoughts added information.

I purchased this to replace a 5+ year old dongle for a MacBook Pro. The plan was to set this up on a small table with the laptop and a laptop vertical stand. I wanted to build a permanent area I could quickly connect the laptop to an external monitor, keyblard and mouse. This docking station allowed me to connect all my external devices, organize all the cables and declutter my workspace. Definitely an upgrade to my older dongle setup.Pros:*Slim Design*Sturdy enough to not get pulled around by cables.*Having a SD and micro-SD card reader on the front is very helpful.*Plenty of USB-A ports on the backCons:*Charges via USB-C but charge cable is fixed length. One suggestion would be to use a removeable USB-C to USB-C cable for powering so you could purchase/use a specific length of cable for better cable mamagement.*Needs one or more USB-C connections on the rear. The one in the front is definitley nice but having one on the rear would be helpful.Overall a great dock and I highly recommend it.

Lo que más me gusto fue el soporte, me atendieron de excelente manera y me guiaron paso a paso cuando tuve inconveniente.Adicionalmente los puertos SDCard son muy útiles para tener extensiones de espacio y hasta para ejecutar maquinas virtuales.

I have 2, 34” wide screen curved monitors docked and they work great with this dock. Impressed!

So far this thing is working great. Has a very small footprint and I'm able to run 2 external monitors and my Macbook Pro screen at the same time, while also decluttering all the cables on my desk.One complaint though, I wish the connector cable was a right angle plug instead of straight because I use a left-handed mouse, and the cable gets in the way of my mouse (see picture). If they had a right-angled cable that was available to purchase separately that would also solve the issue.

This worked perfectly at first. After about 6 months, one of my usb devices stopped working correctly. Then, more recently, the laptop can no longer be charged. Based on other reviews I think this just isn't built to last.EDIT: The seller has compensated me with a replacement. The replacement again works as new. Adjusting my review based on the service.

These types of reviews don't happen enough; people will review based on their excitement of getting something new and not after real-world use. I got this in October of 2021 and use it in my office, attached to a MacBook air.It is still working, kind of. That's a good thing, BUT let me tell you the pain there is when this thing loses power........if there is a power outage, or if I haven't plugged my computer into it for a few weeks, it will not work! Last night, the power went out, and I knew I was going to have an issue in the morning. I went to my office, and nothing would come up on my external screen. If you bypass the setup and open the computer while plugged in, it will come up on the screen, but then all the things you have plugged into this docking station don't work!You end up spending hours trying to reset it. You remove all things plugged into it, unplug the power, and let it reset, and sometimes it will work, and other times it won't! I have no idea why or what the issue is, but it drives me nuts. They need to figure out what the issue is with these or if it's just mine.I can't recommend it if you can't rely on it, it's not cheap, and it should work when you need it.EDITED Review 5/23/24Anita reached out to me to apologize for my issues and offered a new unit! A few days later and I have a new working unit! Couldn't be happier with how they handled this.Thanks again.
