Works properly with Mac, Windows and Dex
Works properly with Mac mini M4 (which has been very fussy with other docks I had tried), a Lenovo windows laptop, and also with Samsung Dex.A few more ports and a non-captive cable would be nice (the cable is at least nice and long), but for the price really cannot complain. Audio quality (and microphone pickup) very good for calls and passable for music and media.

Surprisingly useful for WFH
This is a surprisingly useful and well-made home office device. It's a high-quality speakerphone that also acts as a USB-C hub, providing power to the laptop and taking HDMI display-out from the laptop to my monitor. The call quality is very good and the echo-cancellation is very effective. The integration with Teams is excellent, with a dedicated Teams button that acts as a mute/unmute button during calls, and opens the Teams app when pressed when not in a call.I'm surprised this isn't more popular of a device. I honestly think it's a really good value for less than $70. Audio quality is fairly good, and call quality is excellent. Requires zero software and is truly plug-and-play. I highly recommend this device for working from home, particularly if you use a PC. Not sure about Mac interoperability.

Very good for the discounted price
Pros:- the physical mic mute button works in such a way that even when in zoom if the software mute isn't synced properly, you can rest assured the physical mute will keep you muted if the button is lit up red.- speaker quality is decent for calls and the mic seems ok as I don't get any complaints.Cons:- probably the biggest one - depending on your laptop/device connected, the dock might not always provide sufficient power to your device via the usbc, hence unfortunately it might not be a true one cable solution for many. Even though the supplied power brick is rated 90w, microsoft do state that the dock might only provide up to 50w pd power to your device at times. Eg, I have a surface go 2 and MacBook air m1, both can be powered by then dock's usbc fine. However, my work laptop, a thinkpad x390, can be temperamental - sometimes it will work fine with just the dock's usbc connected, and sometimes it will flicker/constantly disconnect and reconnect. I suspect this is because the laptop's inconsistent power draw at times is demanding more than the dock will provide. To remedy this, I have had to resort to powering the laptop with the standard charger in addition to connecting to the dock's usbc. It doesn't bother me too much plugging in 2 cables, but I can see how others will be more anall about this shortfall. Just bear in mind, if your device's supplied brick is more than 50w then it's likely you will experience a similar issue.- no speaker mute button- the usbc to host device cable is built into the dock and non-replaceable, so if one is not careful, it's game over for the dock. I wish it was just a port so you don't have to rely on a permanently attached cable. To reduce wear and tear, I bought a short usbc extension cable.- doesn't wake my monitor up from sleep properly. I'm not sure if it's the dock or my monitor or laptop that's the problem here but when I try to turn on my monitor from sleep, the monitor won't detect a signal. So I'll have to resort to unplug and replugging the usbc.Overall:It works well and is good value for the heavily discounted price at 50usd. But I would never pay RRP for it - there are better alternatives IMO.

Low volume. Limited compatibility.
I really wanted to like this one. But while is really well made, the speaker -a two way 15w unit with passive radiator that should have a powerfull sound- seems to be tuned specifically for the output level of a Microsoft Surface, so for any other computer, cellphone or tablet it has a very low volume... so just use an app to boost the volume, right? well, not if your are using a company device where only approved apps can be installed. At max volume it has a similar sound pressure level to that of a Sony SRS-XB100, rated at 2.5W. I hoped a firmware update would resolve the volume issue, but nowhere in the microsoft website is such update. It doesn't fully support Power Delivery to the stated 60w, so its a hit and miss which devices will detect the dock as a power supply.

Totally underrated. It a great dock!
I use with MacBook Air M3.Power in ok.Usbc to DisplayPort 1.4 deliver 2k monitor at 100hz with HRD in 4 lanes. No compression, image is great.I’m using with 35” ultra wide monitor.Sound, really good.Mic, use the Mac with is great.Additional usbc for camera and usb for charger or pen drives.I did use hdmi but reach only 75hz, good, but DP 1.4 better.All this for this price you will never find.Highly recommend

Perfect Size and Great Sound
It has USB ports and the sound that comes out is pretty nice. It's much better quality than I expected. I use it simply as a speaker for conducting meetings on Microsoft Teams and it does its job well. Good piece of computer audio equipment at a fair price point.

Bad dock. Good desktop speakerphone.
Having speakers, mic and controls front and center on the desk is great. Speaker audio is good for conference calls. I was worried the mic would pick up the keyboard typing inches away but its very good at focusing on my voice. With Teams, the mute button rarely works properly. I usually have to press it 4-5times before it stays muted. (In Webex it works properly.)As a dock this thing is terrible. Theres no ethernet and its incapable of driving two 4k displays at full resolution. The choice to have a single USB-C and HDMI is odd. If youre using a USB-C display then you probably dont need this dock. Where's the displayport? Also, for a dock/speakerphone the cable is too short limiting placement.This is a reasonable cheap option for a speakerphone, but the power cord and size limits its portability, so given its poor dock capabilities I would suggest a different solution.

Speaker + 60w laptop charger + hdmi + usb C displayport
Absolutely one of the greatest buy in Amazon. Audio dock with dual display output (one of it is hdmi output) absolutely amazing. The sound is amazing too.Come with 90W power supply where 60W goes to charging your laptop while 30W supposedly powering the speaker and it's docking function. I plug the USB C to my laptop thunderbolt port and it just work
