Does what it says
TLDR; UG69PD5 is expensive but does the job well. DisplayLink drivers must be installed to use this dock.In my review I will cover looks, pricing, support, DisplayLink issues, and some cable related issues I ran into.Looks:I wish they had made another model available in India that had the flat chocolate bar form factor for e.g. UG69PD2. I am not a fan of this funky tower. It’s not too big, about 8″ tall, 4″ in the middle and 6″ at the base. But I like clean lines and so I’ve hid this in a cabinet next to my desk.Pricing:Price is high for a dock. You can certainly get dual display adapters for 1/3 of this price. However DisplayLink with PD docks are generally expensive. This seems to be the only model in India that supports DisplayLink and power delivery to laptop. Note also that, the same thing by caldigit, startech or belkin are twice the price in American markets.Support:Support was very good. They took time to answer my questions but responded well and accurately.DisplayLink:This is a DisplayLink only dock. It’s necessary if you want to run dual extended display for M1/M2 MacBook Air and works great for my personal M2 MacBook Air. Weirdly though, my office M1 MacBook Pro supports multiple hardware enabled displays at office but I still had to install DisplayLink on it to make it work with this dock. Plus DisplayLink has quirks of its own; it works through software so your laptop has to be powerful enough to support it and it’ll never be as smooth as hardware supported displays. You will have to enable screen recording permissions and that means some HDCP content like Netflix streaming may not work. No automatic blue light reduction unless you install an app. FYI, I am using this with a cheap KVM Switch and I don’t have any issues. Do your research.Cable related issues:A couple of times I ran into problems that I discovered was due to faulty cable or settings. The cable included in packing is good but short. I put the dock in a cabinet next to the desk and so I used a USB-C cable I had, lying about. With that cable, I didn’t get gigabit lan speeds, though everything was working in general. I found out that the cable is a cheaper 480Mbps USB-C cable. I purchased a USB 3.0 5Gbps cable and that did the trick.Next, I noticed that second extended display had very poor refresh rate, while the first extended display worked fine. I fixed this by reducing the refresh rate of both monitors from default 75hz to 60hz. The dock is rated for two 4k@60hz displays. But I guess it couldn’t handle two 1080p@75hz displays and that compromised the quality of the second extended display. 1080p@60hz works fine.Overall, the dock has its quirks but it does exactly what it says. Do your research and know what you need.

Increases MacBook M1 Productivity !
Expensive but needed to increase my on the job task completion. Easy setup, you must instal free software, will run two extra monitors. Only glitch, sometimes I have to go start the program that makes the screens run, once you know it’s not an issue.

Slowness while using the 4k Display
There is a slowness when using the 4k display. Even with 2560*1440 also there is a delay in response. you will feel like you are working on a remote computer.1920* 1080 monitor works fine. No power from input to the system.

I love this dock. The second I installed display link it worked very well and the laptop discovered the screens. My MacBook M2 setup was flawless and I had to fiddle a bit with screen resolution on my XPS, but both worked within a couple of minutes of being plugged in. I just with there were a few more USB-A ports on the front. I filled them all up and am using an adapter for one of the USB-C ports on the front. Probably good future proofing though once everything moves to USB-C.

This unit has plenty of ports that are immediately added to my laptop soon as I plug it in. My Wavlink usb3 dock drives two standard 24″ monitors in portrait orientation. 1080 x 1920. This allows me to have Outlook showing a long list of new email and a large preview pane. If I am editing a website, I’m able to see my changes displayed in very tall format while doing the edits on my 17″ laptop monitor. And also another 24″ monitor in regular landscape orientation standing just above my laptop for searches or other tasks. This dock also allows me to have my scanner, ethernet connection, an external storage USB drive and a high amperage charger by simply plugging in one usb3 plug into my laptop. Very convenient.Additionally, customer support has been great. I thought I had something wonky going on with the usb2 ports on the dock but customer support very satisfactorily resolved my problem… even after my warranty ran out.

Love this thing! It has all the ports that I need. Super easy to install. I was able to plug in: USB camera, 2 monitors, laptop, keyboard and I can rapid charge my phone. Note—if you are looking to use dual monitors (NOT MIRROR) but be able to have your email on one screen and documents on another, and have the option of using your laptop as a 3rd screen, then this dock does the job. Its very sleek and fit easily in my undermount cable manager.
