Did not know this would be so popular… Nice!

What device do you think this be driven towards? What it would perfectly complement?

MacBook Air, one of the lower end and this the dock to connect to power, two monitors, larger storage?

I’m thinking this is more ideal for older and more powerful laptops (without Thunderbolt 3). Cheaper ones bog down with two monitors, even though it’s possible.

Hey, I am having an issue with the new Windows Surface Laptop 3. Everytime the laptop gets into sleep mode, when I unlock the laptop the extended screen dont light up. I have to unplug and plug the adapter again to make it work. Anyone facing the same issue? Is there a solution for this?
Cheers!

Is it possible to use this hub for 2x 1440p displays? And can I use it to extend the displays? So not a duplicate screen, but opening 1 application on the left and another on the right screen?

Yes, but I believe it would have to be 30Hz.

PC — yes, Mac — no

I’m having this same issue and it’s driving me insane. I also was able to get two displays extended for a brief time, then it just stopped working. Only one display works (plugging both in at the same time takes them both out) and I have to plug it in again when it sleeps. Hoping there’s a solve for these issues! BTW, also have a Surface Laptop 3.

Hi,

I have bought one of those and i have issues with USB A ports, whenever i insert an usb stick or ssd it keeps resetting all usb ports i have(including laptop ones )
I have tried to install firmware update tool from anker website and it doesn’t recognize that the device is connected.

Anyone else encountered this?
Please advise,
Regards,
AB

Sounds like the USB-A devices might be requiring more power than is available in the hub, therefor the hub powers off and all devices disconnect temporarily. Do you have the hub connected to a USB-C charger? (If I’m not mistaken, I believe this hub support USB-C pass-through charging.)
