It also is the case that the SD card sometimes will disappear from view even though it hasn't been touched.
This is a real pain to fix, which usually includes disconnecting the power supply from the docking station, disconnecting the laptop, reconnecting them, and sometimes rebooting the laptop. My chief complaint is that the dock struggles with displaying on the external 4K monitors after connecting the USB-C docking cable (after undocking) or when waking from sleep or when the screens have turned off but the laptop still is active. The dock generally delivers everything I expect, but not always. Performance: As noted with the connections, I have many things connected and in use at all times. There are enough connectors whether I use the monitor hubs are not. The USB-A to USB-A/B connectors have additional peripherals connected-USB speakers, USB microphone, and USB camera. I also have an SD card present at all times, a USB-A dongle for a headset, two USB-A to USB-A/B connectors in the monitor to make USB ports available there and an Ethernet cable. Rating: 4/5Ĭonnections: I have two external 4K monitors-one using DP to DP and the other using USB-C to DP. I have it mounted using 3M Command strips to the base of my standing desk so that I can save space on the work surface. Looks: It's a nice, clean design with a color that matches the space grey of the MacBook. I got this to replace a Brydge dock that was unable to meet the commitments of its specifications. Lets you down with consistent 4K availability I'm about six months into daily use of this docking station with my MacBook Pro 13" (2020 edition) and it generally performs as expected. To charge a premium price for a product that is clearly dysfunctional and then not bother to provide any updates or other true error handling from Belkin is down right dishonest! Only workaround is to restart the computer. Other times both monitors are being reported as the same type to MacOS which messes up the monitors individual settings in terms of scaling and alignment. I have dual monitors connected to the dock and from time to time the second monitor doesnt wake up from sleep when I connect the macbook.
This defies the whole purpose of the dock and doesnt seem to be something that is being worked on solving.Ģ. There are a number of threads about this issue and Belkins only response has been to unplug everything before computer goes to sleep. When macbook goes to sleep and you have ethernet cable connected it will take down your entire network. Numerous issues making it a poor choice I bought this dock at the start of 2021 and it's been a bumpy ride.ġ. If not I guess it would be a bit easier to find other users with the same problems. There are a few glitches from time to time on that setup, so maybe it's just that the DP is a bit faulty and for some reason the m1 really doesn't like that. I also still don't know what the problem is, because it works fine with an older MacBook Pro that's also on Monterey. I was very frustrated when I couldn't find any solutions online, so I thought I'd post this here to let people know. Finally I bought a usb c to DP cable, and that seems to do the trick, connecting to the thunderbolt/usb c port in the back. I tried a thousand things but nothing worked. When I then upgraded to Monterey (with hopes of these issues being resolved) the display just wouldn't work at all. It wouldn't recognise the display when connecting the dock, so I had to put the computer to sleep, wait for the dock LED to turn amber and then wake it up and that would always work. However I had some issues with my external display connected via DP right from the start in Big Sur. Some tips for M1 users I'm overall very happy with this dock.
