Few things to note about these:

They don't require the laptop have DP alt mode on the USB-C connector, which can be a plus, but this means the displays are using DisplayLink which is an abstraction layer built up on USB, and uses the CPU and GPU to render these displays in software. Which if your system is decently powerful and has a dedicated GPU, isn't really a huge issue, but if it has only CPU integrated graphics, DisplayLink performance can be quire terrible under certain conditions, like doing anything that's tasking the GPU with even something as "simple" as YouTube playback, and gaming is out of the question.

They're generally fine for most office uses, but gaming is not going to be a fun experience and if you have no dedicated GPU, even watching videos can lead to the display becoming a stuttering mess.

DisplayLink is useful, but it's not a replacement for a true display connection, like docks that connect over DisplayPort alt mode. But if your laptop doesn't have DP Alt Mode, this is the only way you're going to get a docking station, so it does have some uses.

Just a heads up, this is a displaylink dock.

Probably fine for most users and office use. Just be aware it will require additional drivers to output video to an external monitor, and you will not be able to drive dedicated GPU graphics to an external monitor with this dock if that is something you need.

My order has been stuck at confirmed, so I chatted them. They claim their shipping warehouse has been closed due to damage from winter storms. They hope to have it up and running sometime this coming week. I'm canceling and ordering the Amazon deal.
wow that's unfortunate. Hopefully all is good with that situation soon.

If you have a modern laptop/PC (ie. Intel gen5 CPU or above) which supports "USB-C DP alt mode", your link is certernly better than Targus dock
Would using this Targus dock without a monitor connected (and connecting directly) be a good option for it to be less CPU intensive? thanks

If you're using the dock for basic port replicator purposes that don't require significant video processing, you'll never notifice the difference between this and one that supports alt mode. If you do need to run something graphics intensive then yes - you could connect the appropriate monitor directly to the PC.

Yes, you can use it without the dock connection to the monitor. For Windows OS, the default is in mirror mode, but it is hard to test the CPU utilization without comparison. When I am using it in extended mode, when I move a video screen to the dock driving monitor, the CPU utilization increases by 80%. When the video window moves to the monitor directly connected to the PC, the CPU utilization immediately drops to 5% or less. Let me check if mirror mode does not increase CPU utilization.

So this may be a dumb question [though there's no such thing as dumb questions, only dumb people], but if I have a 10GB USB-C hub with a HDMI connection which I connect into this Targus dock, does it still limit me to DisplayLink or do I inherit whatever the hub supports (in this case it's a Minisopuru USB C Hub, 7 in 1 USB C Dongle USB Hub with HDMI)?

I'm assuming I'll be able to daisy chain my hub into the Targus dock and get direct connection to my onboard video card, but I don't want to assume...

Thoughts?

Wow 80% CPU utilization seems crazy high. Thanks for sharing.

I noticed that on Targus product page, in specs it has the following:
Host Port Compatibility
USB-A and USB-C, DP Alt. Mode, TB3 Compatible

is this a typo? but DP alt mode is listed there.

That's a good catch - it absolutely lists Alt Mode there.
