Targus ACP70USZ USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Dual Video Docking Station

Pros: None.

Cons: You would be better off flushing your money down the toilet than purchasing this dung. It simply does not work. The drivers are garbage. The dock does not properly establish a network connection and USB devices randomly lose connectivity. I had to buy a USB 3.0 network adapter to plug into this thing just to get a connection, and even then it still doesn't reliably work, since USB devices randomly drop. Avoid it like the plague.

Other Thoughts: Buy something else.

Pros: I wanted to make my surface pro my desktop pc, so i bought this docking station, so far works great, has plenty of usb 2.0 and 3.0 slots for your needs, also has hdmi output, dvi and ethernet, works great on my surface pro, everything works as should

Cons: Sometimes there is a little ghosting and/or low framerate on the output via hdmi but is not big deal also requires to be plugged to a wall charger to be working so is not that portable, otherwise, works great

Other Thoughts: it includes dvi to hdmi adapter even if you want to make a dual screen setup

Pros: Plugs and plays nicely on Windows 8 Acer w700. Downloaded drivers from Targus and it was working in under 10 minutes.

Cons: Spotty performance. Cursor would freeze, network would hang. Programs would lock up.

Other Thoughts: Switched to a Kensington sd3500v and it uses the same displaylink drivers. No problems in over 24 hours. I would say spend a little more and get the one that won't hang up on you.

Pros: nothing

Cons: This thing is absolute trash. Do not buy it. I spent half a day wrestling with this thing trying to get it installed. I called both Targus and Dell support (I was trying to use it with a new xps laptop) and it simply does not work. Windows only recognizes it as a USB hub... the network, display, and audio do not work. Save yourself the trouble and look for alternate solutions. This is not only a waste of money but worse a waste of time and source of frustration.

Pros: Works well, and an excellent price.

Cons: After installing drivers on a digital to analog converter, the two drivers clashed and the docking station lost, rendering it useless until I uninstalled the drivers and downloaded the latest ones from Targus.

IF YOU HAVE WINDOWS 8 CHUCK THE DISC AND DOWNLOAD DRIVERS FROM TARGUS WEBSITE !

Pros: It's small, and has enough USB ports/other inputs. Since it's USB, I've still got my monitor out on the laptop for #3.

Cons: It's pretty light, so it may slide off the desk if cords pull it.. can help solve this with a wire-tie. Video performance is not as good as plugging directly in to computer/laptop... I knew this from reviews before I bought it, but I only code, so don't care about that. I can definitely see some mouse ghosting/trailing.
