Useful, but fiddly.
Preface. It's not really a docking station, but a better USB port replicator.
You have to remember, there are two cables (1x Type-C/TB3 and 1x power) must be connected, if you are more powerful devices are connected, and has nothing to do with docking. If you have bad luck you have to look for the cables again and again.
Besides, there are two versions. One with and one without combo cable. With the combo cable, it's a little easier, but you are limited when it comes to placement, because the cable is not interchangeable. With the other version you are flexible, but you may have to juggle with two cables.
The initial installation is also a bit fiddly. If software and firmware (laptop and dock) are really matched, the whole thing does not work.
For users, like me, who mainly work stationary, a consideration worth.
For users who are often on the road, very fiddly and no comparison with real docking stations. But unfortunately there is now no other.Pro
- Very good quality.
- Decent selection of connectors.
- Charging function via Type-C connector (if no combo cable).
Contra
- No real docking station.
- Fiddly to set up and use.
- Limited in placement.

Definitely do not buy.
Horrible, need the docking station only to charge the laptop at home. Very expensive charger.
Had to buy a Lenovo docking station, because this model has taken an extremely long time with each disconnect and reconnect until work could be done again. In addition, the screens have often remained black and have also had short interruptions in between.
Other employees with the same docking station also have massive problems.
The HP support forum hasn't helped either.Pro
- Provides enough power for charging.
Contra
- Massive problems with displayport monitors
- Flickers when working
- Takes an extremely long time to reconnect after disconnection
- Unreliable

Making Apple devices (Macbook/ Macbook Pro/ M1) compatible
In order for your Apple notebook to work, it needs this additional DisplayLink software:

Runs smoothly
The docking station has been running perfectly with an HP ProBook so far. Connect the device and simply continue working as if nothing were wrong. No lag in image transfer when using the Thunderbolt. Plug it in and get right on with it - no waiting, no hesitation. I was undecided at first because many reviews had problems, which I am glad to say I can't confirm. The device is very compact and takes up hardly any space. All connections are very easy to reach.
Pro
- No lag
- Small and handy
Good docking station
