Digital camera reviews of Plugable USB 2.0 Universal Laptop Docking Station with DisplayLink DVI/VGA up to 1920x1080, Audio, Ethernet, and 4 Available High-Speed USB 2.0 Ports
Digital camera Review: A great unit. Simple to set up. Works perfectly.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Plugable is my second purchase of a USB docking station. My first was a Kensington a little over a year ago.
I picked the Kensington as it seemed to be suggested by Dell (sold on their site) and had reasonable, but not great reviews. I found the unit "fickle". The set up did not go smoothly. I had sporatic stops and starts. I had to mess with video settings more often than I thought I should. After about 7 months, it simply didn't work any more, which I was OK with.
I found the Plugable after looking a little harder. Reviews were more favorable. I was impressed with their web site, the clear interest in quality customer service, and read several reviews where it was clear they stood by their product. I purchased it a month or so ago. It arrived on time and in perfect condition. Instructions were simple and set up was a breeze. I have used it with two different laptops (older XP, new Win 7-64) and it worked flawlessly with both. Video is great, though I'm not doing anything fancy - just typical office work. Using all 4 USB ports, network, and sound. My wife uses it every day as well and is likewise very pleased with the unit.
For my application and money, this is a very good choice. I strongly encourage a visit to the company web site as it gives a very good feel for the unit.
