Great product, solid and crisp video and can connect 4 TB devices.
This is a great and solid device! Clear and crisp video audio and more. Connected 3x4k 27” monitors, 10 Mbps LAN Thunderbolt adapter, USB Keyboard/Mouse and USB fan. All works solidly. It gets pretty hot (>90 degrees while using in my setup), so I keep a fan on it and on the LAN card as it also gets hot (this is normal). I added an external heat sink to keep it cool and it stays cool to the touch.

Works right out of the box
This is my 2nd dock from pluggable - the first one was a smaller version. Since I had the driver already loaded from the first pluggable dock, this new dock worked seamlessly as soon as I plugged it in. I have tried others from other companies selling on Amazon and they just dont work as well as pluggable - this saves me a lot of pain and it really works right out of the box. Just make sure you follow the directions of setting up and they provide a cable that has to be used from the pluggable device to your Macbook. My Macbook with the M1 chip does not allow multiple windows on external terminals but pluggable has figured out how to view different windows through the installation fo their driver which enables the viewing of different windows on different terminals. This model allows 4 external terminals and I have attached two external monitors and my larger screen TV, which I had to use the display link port on the pluggable and not the HDMI - this is done to stream on TV as well if you want to - if you use HDMI ports on the pluggable that will not allow you to stream on the TV - and for that matter it wont allow streaming on my my two monitors that I have connected through HDMi ports to the pluggable dock. It's a minor inconvenience but it has to do with copyrights I assume with the streaming channels and probably Apple, once you install the driver that is required to run the pluggable dock. To hook the TV to the pluggable you will have to purchase a cable that has an HDMI outlet on one end to plug into the TV and a USB C outlet on the other end to connect into the display link pluggable connection. A great buy and a fantastic product!

So far so good.
It works well and immediately. I've had a Tobenone product and it was bad. Plagued with constant hiccups and blips with monitors failing and flickering. This has been very steady. I love being able to clear up space on my desktop, so this is perfect. Lots of ports for USB and USB C, which is amazing. Easy to keep those pesky ext. hard drives out of sight.The only con, and the reason I give it 4 stars is because it, like so many others, relies on DisplayLink to operate. This means you can't watch Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV or any other proprietary streaming service—something to do with copyright. But I don't understand it or like it. There has to be another way to do this so you can still watch tv on your computer while hooked up to this. Perplexing.

It works for my Windows laptop and Macbook Air (1 laptop screen and 2 external monitors)!
I love this docking station! It works well with both my company laptop, a Lenovo T14s (Windows), and my personal laptop, a MacBook Air (macOS, M3 chip).- Windows: Just plug and play — I get a total of three displays (the laptop screen plus two external monitors).- macOS: To achieve the same triple-monitor setup, I installed DisplayLink by following this guide. Everything works seamlessly after that. Occasionally, DisplayLink doesn’t start automatically; when that happens, I simply unplug and replug the dock into my MacBook Air, and it works again.One thing I tried that didn’t work was connecting the two external monitors via the Thunderbolt ports (using DP cables and DP-to-USB-C adapters) instead of the HDMI ports. DisplayLink couldn’t properly detect the monitors in that setup. I’m not sure if the issue was due to the adapter I used (USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter 4K@60Hz) or if DisplayLink requires the monitors to be connected via HDMI to initialize correctly.

30 Days in and power supply failed
I bought this product exactly 30 days ago because of the number of USB C ports to handle video and audio. Paying $300~. The power supply went, it was actually causing my APC to short out on battery, took all the equipment off, took the dock and the plug to another room wall outlet, plugged it in, the thing popped in my hand (physically shook) and caused the the switch to flip at the breaker. Needless to say it doesn’t work now. I’m returning to Amazon but debating on purchasing another (wondering if this is going to happen again, in 30 days).
