Our verdict

A universal USB-C dock bundle that drives several monitors through DisplayLink on Windows, Mac, Ubuntu and ChromeOS laptops. Multi monitor output depends on DisplayLink drivers, which some setups and media apps handle poorly.

Overview

A DisplayLink graphics chip inside the Dell universal dock is what lets a single USB-C cable feed several monitors, even on laptops without native multi display output. The bundle adds a power adapter, display cables and a cloth.

Driving multiple monitors from any USB-C laptop is the strength, regardless of brand or operating system. DisplayLink output needs drivers installed and can struggle with copy protected video.

Who it's for

Shared desks and IT teams supporting Windows, Mac, Linux and Chromebook laptops get one dock for all. Users who cannot install drivers on locked down machines may lose the extra displays.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Up to four monitors via DisplayLink
  • Works across four operating systems
  • Display cables bundled
  • Ethernet port for wired network
Cons
  • Requires DisplayLink drivers
  • Firmware update may be needed
  • Dock dimensions not listed

Performance notes

DisplayLink compresses video in software and decodes it in the dock, which is how one USB-C link feeds many screens but also why it uses some laptop CPU. Charging depends on the supplied adapter and on the laptop accepting USB-C power. Compatibility issues are often fixed by a dock firmware update.
