Almost perfect for my needs.
***FRESH INSTALL IMPRESSIONS***I have an older usb C docking station that never worked quite right, I have 2 identical HP 28" monitors but NEVER could get the resolutions the same between them etc...Right out of the box, this thing plugged right in, passed the keys / mouse through no problem, HDMI directly passes through. I am using WiFi with my laptop so have not tested the ethernet port, Micro SD card slot does what it is supposed to do. Plenty of USB ports for my needs, Literally ALMOST nothing left lacking except...My ONLY complaint and it is a minor one. The USB C cable into the laptop is painfully short. Should be at least 18" but I get it... Hey Anker, next time, more cable please!This is NOT my first USB C docking station however, and these typically fail quickly. I have so far been impressed with Ankers quality though, so here's hoping they didn't drop the ball on this one. The reviews so far look good, my use so far is good. Will update after some use. If you don't see an update by say June 2025 you can rest assured my impression has held solid and am having a good experience with it...

Would recommend to anyone
Excellent product as usual from anker. I use this everyday working from home and I never have an issue, especially for the price. I will say that I may have misunderstood the video capability of this as 1 of the hdmi ports does 4k while I have not been able to get the other to output more than 1080p. Not a huge deal for me as it does work well and I bought more for the internet port which works quite well. No noticeable drop in speeds.

Great to Use in a Pinch
I used this for months with my home set up. I was able to connect 2 monitors and a laptop. The only draw back is the charging, but as long as you have a good charger, it works great! Saved me while in a pinch.

Input cable is short
Great product. No issues connecting HDMI, keyboard, Mouse USB receiver, Ethernet cable, Audio cable and Printer cable. I like the fact that I can easily switch laptops with just one input cable. The only minor complaint is that the input cable is a little short. I prop the laptops on a stand to use as a second monitor. I just worry the input cable could get damaged from the way it bends whenever I switch laptops.

I bought another! :-)
Last one lasted about 2 years, no complaints. For the price I’m satisfied! I use weekdays 8 hours a day with laptop and two monitors connected. It does run warm feeling as others have mentioned.

Defective
I just got a brand-new Asus Vivobook S14 with Intel Core Ultra 7, 32 GB of memory, 1 TB storage. I have two (an Asus and a Samsung) 1920 x 1080 displays and an older Dell (1280 x 1024) display using VGA or DVI-HDMI cable. I used to connect the Asus laptop to the Asus display and the old Dell display using another Anker USB C hub with one ethernet port and one 1 HDMI port for the Dell display. The Asus display connected to the laptop using a built-in HDMI port. This old three-display setup worked well.When I received this new Anker four-display device, I first connected the Dell (via DVI-HDMI cable) to one HDMI port and the Asus display to the other HDMI port. After a short moment, the Dell display started going off and on. The interval was around 15 - 20 seconds. Windows still showed the laptop connected to two external display. I thought the DVI-HDMI cable may be incompatible with this new hub, so I used a VGA-VGA cable to connect to the VGA port on the hub. I then connected two other displays to the two HDMI ports. I only got visual on the laptop, the Asus, and the Dell displays. The Samsung display was dark. When I selected the option to extend the laptop display to the 4th display (Samsung), the Samsung display showed the visual, but the laptop display went dark. In other words, I only got three displays at once, not four. I checked the photos on the product page again and confirmed that the unit should have shown different visuals on all four (laptop, Dell, Asus, and Samsung) displays. By the way, I was unable to screw the two VGA cable thumbscrews to the device. It appears the holes were too deep inside the unit so the screws could not reach them.I have been using a bunch of Anker products. This one damaged Anker's reputation for sure.

Updated Review
I will leave my original review at the bottom. After I posted my original review Anker reached out and offered me a refund or a replacement. I opted to take the replacement and give them another chance to see if maybe the first one was just a bad unit. I'm an glad that I did. I have put the replacement in place exactly as I had the original and have been running it for a day now. It is driving two 1080p monitors and so far has not had a single issue. I have a 100w Anker USB C charger going into the hub and it is supplying power to my laptop. The hub does get warm to the touch, but that is expected and clearly noted as normal in the documentation. So I can give this a thumbs up and also have to give Anker a big thumbs up for standing by their products and having great customer support.Old Review:I guess I should have looked at the reviews a bit closer. I got this to drive 2 monitors. Something my machine is more than capable of doing with a RTX3070 in it. Hooking it all up the two monitors will come on and work but then randomly drop out. Sometimes it is just one sometimes it is both. They go black and stay blank. Sometimes they come back after a second. Sometimes they stay gone till I unplug the hub and plug it back in. The device is getting plenty of power as it is connected to an Anker 100w usb c power supply. In addition to the going blank, I have also noticed watching videos that now the video will get out of sync with the video on the monitors. This is very disappointing.

Convenient and loaded with features
Small and compact, but loaded with features in terms of how many different types of connectors it will accept. Easy to use, does not take up a lot of room on desk or to travel with.
