Anker Laptop Docking Station Dual Monitor, 8-in-1 USB C Hub, 4K Dual Monitor with 2 HDMI, 1 Gbps Ethernet Hub, 85W Power Delivery, SD Card Reader, for XPS and More (Charger not Included)

(3 years now I have had this and today is July 12th 2025. I literally love this thing so much I came back yet again to tell you after 3 years it works just as good as the day I originally got it. It is scuffed and scratched, has the remnants of tape and stickers i applied over the years, it has seen much wear, tear, and abuse by me, and works perfectly! ANKER makes great products, but especially nowadays when there is so much cheap garbage out there, everything i have brought by ANKER just works everytime. The only time I have had an issue? Is when I broke something, or dropped it under a car wheel (I actually did this with the first one I bought, not from Amazon, but a few months beforehand, it still worked until I started messing with it to see if it still functions lol), because I tend to be extremely irresponsible with my portable electronics. If you do buy this, and you forget to order a power supply, I bought a 100w power supply from Walmart for it, that is also three years old and works great as well. If it makes it 5 years, I'll be back to tell you about it. Now, keep reading to see the first review i left awhile ago) This thing is so awesome. I had to come back and write another review first off. You will need a 100 watt power supply to go with it separately just get that out-of-the-way. You can get one at Walmart for fairly cheap. That’s what I did and after about six months, I actually glued the hub permanently to the power supply so they would never be separated now let me tell you how versatile this thing is you can take your iPad plug it into the little USB-C sticking out of the end of it then you could take an HDMI cord from the hub and plug it into your TV. If you have a splitter, you can do it into several TVs or several monitors. It has a microSD card for all your pictures. It has a not as micro a little bigger memory card can’t remember what they’re called but they go in like cameras and stuff SD cards? It reads those two it’s got a USB-C out so you can charge your phone if you have an iPhone and an iPad like I do it connects your iPhone into your iPad together so you can play video games on your phone on your giant screen of your iPad running an HDMI cord to your TV now you’re playing on your phone on your monitor and your TV and your iPad all at the same time and see how awesome I’m saying this is you can plug a keyboard into it and a microphone and a mouse and now your live streaming your gaming on your iPad your monitor your TV your projector I’ve even hooked mine to a projector! I’ve literally spent hours trying to see how many items I could plug into this thing and run at the same time just so I could put it on my YouTube channel and show off and have people give me no props, shake their heads, and say I’ve got way too much free time on my hands. Doesn’t that sound amazing? That could be you. One guy who made fun of me relentlessly in the comment section a week later asked me where I could get one and guess what I told him I could get one for twice the amount that I paid for it and he paid me so I win guess what I do with the money? I bought a midi cord that I plugged into my MPC so I could play music on GarageBand on my phone. Had another cord going from the hub to a monitor where I could watch OBS for studio live streaming as a third cord projected the entire image on a wall, 6 feet across while I produce this music a microphone that I also had plugged it into the hub was recording me freestyle horribly because I cant rap, but all of those magic moments captured on a small SD card also plugged into the hub at the time I just left in the hub and when I was done, all I had to do was unplugged the USB-C from my phone into my computer and transfer all the information over i’ve plugged my GoPro into it from my GoPro. I was able to power a light and a microphone this thing is endless possibilities. Do yourself a favor and get one anchor products are amazing and guess what I’ve stepped on this thing countless times my dog thrown it across the room. It’s fallen downstairs. I dropped a puddle of water put it in a bowl of rice it still works. I should be selling these things man they’re incredible.

I’ve been using this Anker 8-in-1 docking station for a little while now, and honestly, it’s been a great upgrade for my setup. The dual HDMI ports work perfectly with my two monitors, and both displays look sharp in 4K. Plug-and-play was super easy — my laptop recognized everything right away. The hub itself feels sturdy and well-made, and it doesn’t take up much space on my desk. I also like that it has all the essential ports I need, so I’m not constantly unplugging and replugging things. My only small complaints are that it gets a bit warm when I’m running both monitors for a long time, and I wish the USB ports were spaced out a little more. Not huge issues, but worth mentioning. Overall, if you want a simple, reliable docking station for dual monitors, this one is a great choice. I’m happy with it and would definitely recommend it.

This hub has been the ideal accessory for my MacBook Air M1. I chose it because it includes both an SD and microSD card reader, and it’s basically become my “mini dock station.” I use it to quickly connect my laptop to my monitor and all my accessories in one step. It’s lightweight, comes with a small pouch for protection, and delivers the reliable Anker quality I trust. No power issues or weird behavior like some generic hubs. Excellent value overall. With Anker, you always play it safe.

Works well. Pretty easy to set up. I am usimg two external monitors and extending the acreens to different images. Clear images. Usb power from laptop and hdmi cables.to monitors. No issues so far. Would be very portable.

I had this for years for my MacBook Pro because Apple thinks we don't need at least ONE usb port on the computer anymore...which is what it is. This thing works amazing, super fast, and does exactly what I need it to do. ***My hubby lost his, so I gave him mine and said I'd order another one for myself. This new version is a little smaller than my last one which I don't mind, didn't come with a little slide in protective case like the last two did which is a little sad, and there's a stupid sticker on it now when you get it that you need to be careful or it will leave the sticky crap all over it (like mine pictured 🤦🏼‍♀️) which I hate because now I have to deal with that. None of these things are deal breakers as it is a great product, I just wish it was the same as the last two I got since it was the exact same listing (clicked on it from prior purchase and says purchased two times) and didn't say it was an updated version of the product.

Updating my review - Anker reached out and provided a new docking station. I'm now a few weeks in and I've not experienced any cutting out of my second monitor. Thanks for the great customer care, Anker! ________________ I have had a great experience with most Anker products over the last 5+ years. This one is the exception. I've tried multiple (5 or 6) HDMI cables to run dual monitors off my work laptop and this cuts out incessantly from the HDMI attached to the device (monitor goes black for 2-5 seconds). My laptop runs dual monitors at work without issue. The only variable between work and home is this device. It has progressively worsened over the last 2 months to the point I have leave a review.

I work from home and the company I work for provided the equipment, which includes this docking station. After using this for a couple of days, I purchased one for my personal laptop. This docking station is small, versatile, easy to use and to setup. The dual hdmi ports allow me to have a second monitor aside from the company provided one for a total of 3 screens, including the laptop screen. The dual usb ports are useful for adding other accessories such as a keyboard, mouse, webcam, thumb drive, etc. For those wanting a hardwired connection, there is an ethernet port located on one side of the docking station. Though I've not used them, there are slots for SD memory cards and micro sd cards.

Ottimo hub compatto e robusto: offre 7 porte tra cui HDMI 4K, USB-A, USB-C PD e lettore SD/microSD. Trasmissione dati veloce, ricarica stabile e compatibilità perfetta con Windows e Mac. Ideale per chi vuole espandere le funzionalità del laptop senza problemi.

So far, it's been a great product. It's practical, works out of the box and just makes sense to have.

This is my replacement hub for the Lention that stopped working after 18 months. I had rated that product 5 Star and it was truly great product till one day it decided not to deliver power from the PD port to laptop. Without power supply passing through, it was useless and I scrapped it. Then started my search for a new hub - the biggest challenge though how to identify one that combines good build quality and functionality with longevity. So, I decided to go with known non-chinese brands and Anker came top on the list. So far, the hub is working like a charm, just like Lention. I am hoping that this will last for at least 3 years to justify the price premium. One small gripe is that the USC C cable attached to the hub is too short (15 Cms, I guess). I keep my laptop in a vertical position with lid closed on a stand and work on the monitor. The USB C port on my laptop is on the upper end of the laptop and when I connect the hub, the hub keeps dangling awkwardly. Had to go with 0.5 M extension cable! I will update this review if this fails in less than 3 years!

Due to the fact that brands like DJI and Western Digital discontinued their portable harddrives that offered a back-up feature for SD cards I was looking for a way to back-up my photo and video footage while traveling without carrying a laptop around, I found the solution in this small adapter. When hooking this USB hub to my smartphone (Android) and attaching a powerbank I can then attach an SSD (I use the Samsung T7 SSD 1TB) and insert a (Micro)SD card. My phone recognizes 2 storage devices have been plugged in and then it's just a matter of copy/pasting the files from the memory card to the SSD drive. Even though this USB hub wasn't created for this purpose it does the job very, very well. Don't expect extreme writing speeds. Depending on the SD card and SSD drive you're using it's around 4 to 5 GB a minute, still pretty fast if you ask me. I don't say this often, but this has been one of the best purchases I made in a long time.
