About Dell 452-BCYT D6000 Universal Dock
Overall Feedback:
65% positive
70% found it compatible with devices,yet
The dock is compatible with all types of computers except the new M1 Macbook.
At first, the docking station worked well, but then it became quirky with USB devices like camera, speakers, and mike.
I intended to buy a Dell tablet to make it compatible with my Dell P2418HZ monitor and XPS 13 9310 laptop. Unfortunately, it turned out to be incompatible, leaving me disappointed and frustrated.
69% found it compatible with different os,yet
There could be a driver issue with macOS and I am unable to test it as I only have a Mac mini. If someone plans to use higher resolution monitors with a Mac, they should look into this to see if it is still an issue.
70% liked the data transfer speed,while
I can connect to my dual monitor setup with the Dell D6000 Docking Station, which also has room for a 3rd monitor and allows me to connect up to 4 USBs, including a high-speed USB-C.
I am limited to Standard Definition while playing videos from Amazon prime in the background because it is not HDCP compliant.
66% appreciated the durability; however
The docking station has been working as expected for about a year.
I was disappointed that the Dell docking station failed quickly and the warranty support was inadequate.
After 1-2 years of usage, the docking stations start overheating and cause degraded performance/dropouts in usability for attached screens.
69% were satisfied with the ease of use, althrough
I noticed a delay in mouse and window movement while using the dock.
75% highlighted the multi-monitor support,but
I was able to connect 3 monitors (dual display port + HDMI) to the docking station and my laptop screen was still fully functional, giving me a total of 4 functional monitors at the same time. This shows that the docking station has multi-monitor support.
The docking station has multiple monitor outputs on the back, two USB-A adaptors on the front, and powers my laptop via its USB-C while allowing me to use multiple monitors.
The product is the perfect solution for our major issue of M2-based MacBooks only supporting one external monitor.
I bought the docking station when I moved to M1 Mac because it does not support multiple monitors.
65% liked the number and types of ports
I like the docking station because it can extend/expand to 3 monitors and has more USB ports.
72% were satisfied with the power delivery,but
I noticed that one of the USBs has full-time power that can charge devices even if everything else is disconnected.
The docking station needs to be plugged in at all times, which is not always convenient for battery management.
