Dell WD19TB Thunderbolt Docking Station with 180W AC Power Adapter (130W Power Delivery)

I use just one usb-c connection on my dell laptop. It charges, has ethernet connection, mouse/keyboard (via 2 usb), and two display port monitor connections (extended desktop; both at 2560x1440). Works great.Note: it came in a sealed plastic bag, yet seemed to show minor use: small dime sized smudge, and corners showed some wear. Still, no performance problems after a couple of weeks.

Works well good prrice

I ordered two of these docks directly from Dell. Both were open box listed as excellent condition. The first was physically in excellent condition, the other was scratched quite a bit.The first power adapter did not have a green light nor did the dock turn on or power my Dell pc. The dock did not have power to it. The second dock, the power adapter itself had a green light but the dock did not power itself nor did it turn on or power my pc. The second dock was scratched and not excellent condition.Dell clearly did not test either unit and I am very disappointed. In the meantime, I am using an Anker dock but it is underpowered which is why I ordered these Dell docks that were built especially for my i7 Dell laptop. Very disappointed.

This docking station is NOT new. The description clearly markets the product as new, but it is very obvious it is a used/refurbished product without any documentation and product being scratched, dusty, etc. Aside from the misleading description, the product does function as expected. Currently using with an Alienware M16 laptop along with a monitor and speakers. Having a power button on the docking station is a plus. Four-star rating because of the inaccurate marketing.

I got this dock to replace my WD19... the TB version allows you to run triple monitors with the laptop closed... the USB3 version does not (Dual only, + laptop screen as far as I could figure).Given my triple monitor setup, my desk got pretty crowded so I ended up drilling some 2" holes into the desk, installing grommets, and routing cables. With all that, I wanted to get the dock off my desk top and under the desk. It had two mounting holes designed for the Dell mounting kit.Well, don'tcha know, I can't spend $30 on a mounting kit when I can MacGyver my own for $15. Here's what I did:The mounting holes in the dock are M2.5. So you need a tiny diameter screw to mount it. 2 screws in fact.I got a 12 inch piece of aluminium bar from Home Depot and drilled 2 holes, 88mm apart for the two M2.5 screws. Then I overdrilled the holes to help recess the screws a little. On the ends of the bar, I drilled two larger holes that wood screws would fit through. I installed the bar to the dock (see pic), then screwed the whole assembly under my desk.I was pretty proud of myself, until I plugged the dock into the power adapter... It wouldn't turn on. I tried a different power adapter (180W, 130W) but no dice. Crap. I broke my dock... or did I?I took the whole assembly down and loosened the M2.5mm screws. When I plugged it back up, the fan started spinning. I remounted it loosely with wood screws, hooked up all my stuff, and it fired right up.Moral of the story: don't tighten the mounting screws too much. This thing's a little temperamental.

Tried the CalDigit USB-C Pro dock first based on the Wirecutter review, but it didn't have enough power (only 85W) to support charging the laptop (via USB-C), and other functions like ethernet were unstable. The Dell WD19TB dock charges the laptop and adds lots of additional ports through the single USB-C cable. Has been working well for the past 2 months.Note that the dock supports Thunderbolt. My Dell 7501 model doesn't have Thunderbolt so it shows a warning at every boot that the full functionality of the dock is not available (e.g., higher USB-C data speed). A minor nuisance. Glad I found it!

I purchased this used but still under warranty. I wanted the TB model versus the TBS because this model has the ability to plug in audio.I am having some issues with it and am still undecided if it is defective or if just, in general, is a bit of a problematic product. I purchased this around Thanksgiving but did not receive my brand new Dell computer until weeks later and my brand new Dell 27" QHD monitor only days ago. Fortunately, if I determine that the unit is defective I have until Jan 31 to return it because it was expensive and for the same amount of money, I can purchase a guaranteed new TBS model. I am trying to be reasonable and make sure I fully test it.The good it is compact and has a good amount of ports on it.The bad it makes noise - fan noise - that does not seem normal to me. Also anytime you power down the computer the dock "forgets" everything and I have to unplug everything hold the power button on the dock for 45 seconds, hear it make the fan noise and then replug in everything and start again. I am not about to do this daily defeats the whole purpose of having a dock.More bad -- my webcam - a logitech does not work plugged in the dock. I ended up purchasing a usb 3 hub that I have plugged into my computer and then, and nl then, is the webcam recognized. Now I have to find another USB item to test that port on the dock to make sure it is not defective.At this point, the bad points outweigh the good. NOw that i Have the new laptop and monitor I can perform some more tests and will update this review after trying it out a few more times.
