Baseus Docking Station, Spacemate(Win) 11 in 1, Triple Display, 4K HDMI and DP, 10Gbps USB A/C Ports, Gigabit Ethernet, 100W PD, Audio, Laptop Docking Station for Windows/Dell/HP/Lenovo/Asus/Acer/Mac

I was SO pleasantly surprised by this item. I had recently purchased an OLED 49" ultrawide monitor for my M4 Mac Mini. It works when I plug it into , but with the quirk that monitor ends up divided into two areas: the left half with higher resolution and high responsiveness to my trackpad and the right half as an AirPlay extension at HD resolution and slow responsiveness to my trackpad...so frustrating. (The monitor works well with my PC through just the HDMI connection...bummer since I prefer to work on my Mac.)Given a particular project where I need high responsiveness, I decided to try this hub with three smaller 34" monitors. After installing the software, it worked without a hitch, retaining the high responsiveness.Though the Mac Mini is designed to have a maximum of three screens, I decided to connect the larger OLED monitor as well as a fourth screen (one 34" screen into the Mac Mini's built in HDMI port, two 34" screens into the hub's HDMI ports, and the 49" into the hub's third HDMI)...AND IT WORKS with the entire 49" monitor area highly responsive. AMAZING!Not only that, I have a portable USB-C OLED monitor, I connected that into one of the remaining thunderbolt ports, and it also worked, making it five screens. I don't need that much real estate, but it just blew me away that I have those options!

Works great with my MacBook Pro with 2 additional screens along with the software. Everything works the way it is intended for. No issues so far. The price was a lot better than all the other ones I seen for the Mac’s but no option for multiple independent extended screens.

This is more of a good travel dock station and less of an inexpensive permanent dock for your home office. The 1 problem I have is the USB C charging through it. I have a simple 14" Dell laptop and when I plug the main power adapter into this dock, my laptop immediately indicates "Slow Charging" and it does not keep up while in use. You'll want to make sure you have 2 USB C's on your machine. 1 for charging with your original power adapter and the other for this dock. As for the HDMI, it seems to work without issues. I've docked (2) 27" monitors and used the laptop display without any trouble. The Baseus unit does get pretty warm, but it has not caused any issues with normal use.

Updating my original review which scored low because I had received a defective unit. The issue was that the USB ports were nonfunctional on that unit. The replacement appears to work 100% out of the box. I will not quite go to a 5 because electronics that are somewhat expensive should be fully tested before shipping and it doesn't seem possible for a dock to pass quality testing and then fail while in the box. There are no moving parts to physically damage in transit so I can only conclude the quality testing is either not happening or isn't adequate. I will deduct a star for that.Second update: Seller has been incredible in following through to check that I have received my replacement and that it is working. I don't usually see such good follow-up from most manufacturers. I am adding back the star because they expressed intent to enhance their testing processes. I am taking them at their word. I have bought other BASEUS products before (which have been excellent and very well priced) and will again in the future.On to the review of the WORKING unit. I will need to use it for a longer period of time to assess the performance and reliability. As of now, I've only plugged in the replacement and checked that the ports are all working and that the docked notebook can do everything it should be able to do with the devices. All of that is 100% The other thing I will note is that I do like the form factor of this dock. It's not too huge but it does have a nice selection of ports on the front and rear. I also like the indicator lights to show what's connected.My only complaint so far -- and I might have deducted a point for it, had I not already deducted one for the inadequate quality control, and don't want to take this down to 3 stars -- is that the cable to the computer is built into the dock. I really HATE built in cables on ANY device. Given a choice between that and a similarly capable device with a removable cable that plugs in via some kind of STANDARD port, I'll always choose the removable cable option. If I find the supplied cable to be too short or too long, a removable one allows me to remediate that. Can't do that with this one. Also, cables do experience wear and tear and sometimes run into problems before the unit itself is dead, and being able to replace it is a nice thing. It's not a deal-breaker for a nice dock, but it does give it one small disadvantage against a comparable device with a removable cable.On BaseUs as a company, I have used some of their other products, particularly chargers, and this is the first time I've gotten anything that didn't work or failed. I like the design of their stuff and when you receive a working device they seem to be good quality, good design, and quality components. I also have to speak well of their support. I didn't even bother to contact them -- I just initiated a return with Amazon. They saw my previous review and contacted me to see what they can do to correct the situation, i.e. refund, replacement, or tech support. I like that. Often I don't get a contact from a company when I report a problem in a review. I have a feeling their support would have been 100% responsive had I contacted them, and the contact info for support was right on the device itself -- nice!! I would usually have to go looking for it online. That tells me they're ready to give support. Also, when they contacted me, it wasn't like most the other few who contacted me, usually with something like "please take off the low rating -- what can we do to buy a better score?" (paraphrasing :D) -- no, BaseUs never asked me to change my review or score. They only asked how they can help make me happy with the product. That's the right way to do it. Begging to fix the score tells me a company is more worried about sales than customer service. Not an issue here!! I'd give them 1/2 extra star back for that.

The best dock I’ve had for my M1 MacBook Pro yet. Works great. You will need to install the DisplayLink Manager software to get more than one external display to work, but you can also use it for a single external display connection without that if needed. It has a small footprint and so far seems to generate minimal heat. It gets warm but I haven’t noticed it getting hot.

Though the description says this Baseus Spacemate 11in1 (Win) Docking Station works for mac, it does not. It might work in some ways like reading a usb but it does not work for multi screen use... It seems you have to order the mac specific one for that feature... Which i know seems obvious, but it says it works for both, and I was not aware of the other product (specific for mac) till after the windows one had arrived and my two screens only mirrored themselves rather than extending the display... A little frustrating to put that in the description if it is not true.

Plug and play. Works well with all my laptops. Bought two
