Works Great with Windows and Ubuntu/Linux
I have had no issues running this with my work laptop HP Laptop running Windows 10 and my Dell Inspiron 17 running Ubuntu 20.10/Windows 10. Both laptops charge, and all ports seem to work well. In general, the worst part of the USB-C format is the confusing amount of different laptops that seem to implement it in different ways. Not this product's fault; as I said, it works well with Dell and HP while my HP Laptop dock runs with both laptops, but under Ubuntu or Windows 10 on my Dell, it falls short. The HP Dock is a Thunderbolt dock, and my Dell is a Display port marked with a DP; the DP Port on my Dell does charge and allows all ports to work with this dock. I mention it because USB-C gets confusing, and mileage may vary depending on the laptop itself. My Hp is marked as Thunderbolt, and my Dell as Display Port, and this product runs wonderfully with both. I found I could get a 4k Display using the DP port on the back of the dock in Ubuntu, but I found it a little problem some and instead switched to using the two HDMI ports instead. Sometimes 4k would flicker, but that can be my older KVM Switch (1080P KVM). I don't mind the two 1080p screens as the dock makes it so easy to switch computers. I wonder why the HDMI port only seems to pump out 1080P and the display port 4k from my experience. Still, my HP dock didn't do 4k at all, so this dock outperformed it. I have even booted my Dell and HP Laptops with a live USB of MX Linux, and with no configuration, it worked. I just changed the display settings a bit.So to sum it up.1) Easy to use - NO Drivers to install!2) Works across Windows and Linux.3) Affordable and better than my work HP Thunderbolt dock.4) Works with USB-C marked PD or Thunderbolt.Finally, I would like to say the PD port can get confusing another port format for USB-C. At first, I thought it did not work as I plugged in USB-C devices, and it was not recognized. Then I upgraded to a new Samsung phone with USB-C PD charging support, and it charged and was recognized from the PD port on the dock. So the device has to support USB-C PD. As I said, USB-C is confusing. Now, what are you waiting for? Buy this best Dock on Amazon; it is excellent for Windows and, more importantly, great with Linux. If you have Thunderbolt, the big thing you get from a Thunderbolt dock is the quicker data transfer speeds, but you need to know your laptop supports it. For me, I don't care about my work laptop having maximum data transfer speed. As I said, Thunderbolt does work with this also from what I can tell.1/26/2024 - I am updating this because I also wanted to note that this works great with the Surface Pro 7. The only exception is the built in wired network does not seem to get recognized, but I don't care. I am using WIFI anyway. So Sound, video, and all other devices work perfectly.

Excellent Docking Station with Plenty of Ports
I picked up this Anker 13-in-1 Laptop Docking Station, and it’s been a game-changer for my setup. It has tons of ports, including USB-C, HDMI, Ethernet, SD card slots, and more, making it super convenient to connect all my devices in one place.The build quality feels solid, and everything works smoothly. The HDMI ports support dual monitors without any lag, and the charging pass-through keeps my laptop powered up while using multiple peripherals. It’s also plug-and-play, so setup was quick and easy.If you need a reliable docking station with plenty of connectivity options, this is a great choice. Works perfectly for work, gaming, or just decluttering your desk. Highly recommend!

Caution- with caveats!!
TLDR summary:Kudos to: Amazon Customer ServiceImportant Disclaimer: I've had prior good luck with Anker- I think they may have had a bad batch of these- I don't necessarily believe that my experience negates all the positive reviews, but read on for my experience...I've purchased a couple different, less expensive USB-C hubs during my post-pandemic work from home (WFH) adventure. They're set up to run 2 monitors, a USB-A webcam, a USB-A dongle-connected mouse & keyboard combo & then charge a couple USB-A and/or USB-C devices. Each of others I've purchased worked well... until they didn't.At work (now that we have to go in couple/few days a week) they purchased another brand of docking station that seemed to work well, so after my last WFH hub stopped functioning, I started looking for a higher quality solution. I've had several Anker products in the past with which I was well pleased (e.g. chargers, a power bank, bluetooth car chargers/audio solutions for older cars without real "connectivity"). Given that good experience and high marks in the reviews, I ordered.I think Anker has a bad batch of these docking stations!! The first one I ordered, I hooked up immediately and it worked well EXCEPT for the USB-A ports; I could charge with them, but they transmitted no data to support my webcam or mouse/keyboard. I tried other USB-A accessories, same issue. I tried different computers, same issues. I tried many things, no dice. Like most manufacturers, their "product support" chat-bot was almost totally useless, but Amazon Customer Service was great!! After explaining the issue and all I'd done to test the problem- they agreed that it must be a bad unit and immediately opened me an order for another with directions on how to return the first. 2 days later, the second one showed up- SAME ISSUE!! I tried all the things again- including more computers and searched online for potential solutions- many of which involved settings and drivers and the like-- the opposite of plug n' play!!Today, the unit I order from another manufacturer (that matches the one I have at the office)- worked perfectly right out of the box... with both the work-issued laptop (that may have had some settings tweaked) AND my personal laptop (which had no changes whatsoever.)
