I needed a docking station right away, so got this Amazon deal. Return window is until January 31, 2026, in case something better comes along. Also, based on reviews, seems like about 10% of these are bad right out of the box, so gives me a couple months to use it to confirm I got a good one. Wonder if Woot ones are really "new", or "like new repackaged returns", don't know.

I like $35 better than $70, but $70 now and I need it now is good.
As with anything with a cheap external power brick, that'll die at an inconvenient time and be nearly impossible to replace.

Then use a USB-C power supply that is 100W Output 20V 5A , something like one of these:

HP and Dell used to use this standard, when they used barrel jack power supplies, you might even already have one if you have any old HP or Dell laptop power supplies laying around. Or you might already have a 100W 20V 5A USB-C power supply if you have it for your iPhone, Mac, iPad, or other device.
also does the power switch work powering on laptop or it just to power up the dock
Would never pay this.
I did have issues getting it to work on external displays (both Thunderbolts and HDMI), none worked. Even though monitors worked fine before directly plugged into the laptop. After Google searching and reading some forums found a fix.
(1) Plug monitor cable directly into laptop again, go to display settings, advanced display settings, then change the "Refresh Rate" to 60 Hz. Shut Down Laptop (not restart, full shut down).
(2) Now unplug monitor cable from laptop, and plug it into the docking station port.
(3) Power the laptop on again. Then it works on the dock.
(4) Then you can go back into your Display settings and bump up the Refresh Rate back to a higher rate.
Seems like the docking station only initially "recognized" the monitor at 60 Hz the first time. But then once it is recognized, it works fine and you can change display settings to whatever you want at that point.

This Amazon Basic one is to buggy, have to unplug it, mess around with it, etc. Especially went going between work and personal laptops. Also, the Laptop plug in the front is a ridiculous design, needs to be in the back. $35 Woot deal is about all this thing is worth.
The CalDigit "just works". High build quality, and plug and play works beautifully. Nicest piece of hardware on my desk right now. Really nice to see such a high built quality these days, when all the other PC equipment being manufactured is getting cheapened up in a race to the bottom.
