Very practical!

I have an ultraportable running Xubuntu 16.04. Before, I had a lot of wires running from it, which had to be plugged and unplugged every day, each time I arrived or left my office. Now, I simply connect it to the Icy Box, to which I have connected all my workstation peripherals: -Second monitor (HDMI) -Mouse (USB) -Wired network (Ethernet), which the PC itself does not have -Speakers (Jack) To leave my desk, I simply unplug the USB cable, take the PC, and that's it! NB - a little feedback under Ubuntu: the sound card and the ethernet card brought by the Icy were recognized plug-and-play by the kernel. On the other hand, for the graphic part, I had to go and look for the driver (DKMS module) at DisplayLink, the manufacturer of the graphic chipset of the Icy, on its web site...

        Does the job but not much more

        No particular problems with delivery or installation.
        The only problem is that the box cannot handle screens larger than 1920x1080, which means I have to put my 27" directly on the laptop.
        I also noticed a big difference in the copying of files depending on whether the external disk is connected to the box or directly to the laptop's USB port.

        HORRIBLE!

        The screen and ethernet connection are constantly jumping. I had to log in to my LDLC account for 1 hour just to leave this review...
        I'm not sure how to use this product, but I'm sure it's a good idea to use it for my computer.
        I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm sure it's a good idea to have a review of my computer.

        Not entirely satisfied

        I bought this device 2 months ago and have been using it ever since.

        On it are connected my two monitors, keyboard, mouse, internet, 2.1 speaker, external HD. It is indeed very convenient, but it turned out that this dock station does not fully cover my needs.

        My problem, as soon as I request the power of the graphics card, I have my processor that goes up to 80% ~ 90% of use I did not understand why at first, I reinstalled the drivers and tried other things that did not work. And then I unplugged one of my two monitors and connected it directly to my PC via HDMI and there was no problem.

        In fact the interface with the computer is usb 3, its speed is 5 Gbit/s which is not enough for a more advanced use of your computer (video games, 1080p videos, 3D graphics software etc ...)

        If you need to use your computer at full power, I advise you to go for a thunderbolt interface which has much higher speeds.

        I have been using this product for several months now with only my HDMI cable connected directly from my screen to my PC and I am satisfied with it

        I will only give it 3 stars because I think the price of this device is rather high and it doesn't allow me to use my laptop fully.

        I am very pleased with the quality of the product and the price.

        no image on the screen, no luck

        I've tested it on hdmi and dvi port on 2 different monitors and a plasma tv via hdmi, I also tested it with another pc, alas nothing happens, while the other functions of the dock are operational, I'll check with Ldlc for the return.

        IT ALWAYS WORKS

        After having recurrent failures of connection or drivers, etc... on several equivalent systems of big brands, this ICY always works and never crashes.
        I've had one for 2 years that I forget about because it connects so automatically, and I've taken 2 more.

        Very satisfied

        I had an ultraportable pc (x201) with a hard ethernet port, few usb ports and one vga port.

        I've been using this solution for a while now, I plug in the mouse directly and the rest through the dock:
        - dvi screen
        - keyboard
        - network
        - printer port

        it's really practical!

        Right to the point

        I bought it for what it offers, which is to reduce the number of connections and make it easier to connect your PC to everything else

        It does its job wonderfully
        except that when you disconnect while hot, the screens panic a bit and you have to disconnect the session to have a normal display

        Super Docking Station...

        I was looking for a cheap way to add 2 24" displays to my laptop (1 + 2) and it works perfectly, using only one USB3 port.
        No need to use the VGA or HDMI port now..., and I have multiplied my USB2 and USB3 ports.
        At home, the LAN port (RJ45) is unstable, so I don't use it, to avoid restarts..., I connect my cable directly to the laptop.
        I connect my headset with its microphone also to the station.
        I use the Dual Monitor application to have the Windows bar on all the screens, very practical.
        For your information, the first installation didn't work because the USB3 port driver on my laptop was too old, but after updating it, it worked... In this respect, LDLC service was perfect!
        Also, my computer is a bit slower at startup since installing Displaylink, but that's a must for all docking stations.
