Anker Prime Docking Station (DL7400), 14-Port Triple Display with DisplayLink, 140W Max, Smart Display, Triple 4K 60Hz, Cooling Fan, for macOS and Windows (The Latest DisplayLink Driver Required)

This dock is a must-have for those looking for a simple, easy-to-use interface to connect their laptops to an external monitor. I must admit, I was on the fence about this one when it came to gauging the value I would get out of this, but I was proven wrong. It is designed well with good weight and build quality. Setup was relatively easy, and it was nice that they threw in a DisplayPort and HDMI cable in the box. It does not take up a lot of space on my desk and the clock feature is a nice touch. Note that the clock is only customizable after you install a firmware update via the Anker Dock Manager PC application, which you can download from the Anker website. The dial is another welcomed addtion as this is present on their Anker Prime Charger 250w. Maneuvering through the settings was a breeze. The device runs cool and does not heat up to such high temps. Anker has done a great job at managing temperatures across it's devices. There are plenty of ports for connectivity, including 3 front USB-C data/charging ports, a SD + TF card reader. The back ports include 1 DisplayPort, 2 HDMI ports, 2 USB-A 3.2 ports, 1 USB-A 2.0 port, an ethernet port, and your standard upstream data/charging port. Upstream charging to the device is max 140w (unfortunately my gaming laptop supports only 100w), and the connection was relatively simple. This device also supports PPS PD charging for Android devices such as the Samsung Galaxy via the front 3 ports. You can also establish a data connection from your phone to your PC. For display, keep in mind that you need to download the Synaptics DisplayLink driver for your pc/laptop to output via DisplayPort to an external monitor. It is a relatively quick and simple download. Once the driver was installed, and I restarted my pc and reset the dock,the video display was seamless. I am currently outputting a resolution of 3440 x 1440 @240Hz with no stutter and no artifacts. This has improved my gaming setup tremendously, and I have not noticed any issues during hardcore gaming. The Anker Dock Manager application is a nice touch and allows you to see the multiple connections that you have on your setup. You can change from Mirroring to Extended display, even change the display direction if you have your monitor set up vertically. Refresh rate and resolution can also be customized. Overall, this is a solid addition to anyone's future laptop/desktop to monitor setup. Though there are other docks out there with more ports and features, the Anker Prime does a great job of incorporating functionality and simplicity for the everyday user.

I picked this up for my work-from-home setup, and it was mostly plug and play. I did run into a small issue at first where my laptop wouldn’t connect to the monitors, but after updating my laptop software, everything worked as expected. I use this dock to run three monitors, and it’s been reliable with no lag or display issues. The build quality stood out right away—it feels sturdy and well-made, not flimsy like some other docking stations I’ve used. I also appreciate the number of ports available. I regularly plug in my phone and AirPods at my desk, and it’s convenient having everything connected in one place. I picked this up during a Black Friday sale, which made it a great value, and it’s now an essential part of my WFH setup. If you need a solid, well-built dock for a multi-monitor setup, this one has worked well for me.

This docking station is everything you need for a gaming setup. I run two 34 inch wide screens and this docking station could handle extending my gaming laptops display while adequately charging it. Be mindful that it does require you to download the DisplayLink driver. My work laptop does not allow external drivers to be installed so unfortunately I couldn't use it to extend it's desktop. If you're looking for something that can charge your power hungry gaming laptop and extend it's desktop onto multiple displays then look no further. It's quiet and I haven't once heard its fans. I also like that you have some customization with the station's display so that it's out of sight and out of mind.

Had to fuumle a bit with the settings and the updates, downloads etc.. It also made my Apple magic mouse very slow. Solved with a console command. Also had to search through trial an error the best reosultion x Refresh rate combination. Once the set up is done (Took me like 20 minutes) it works amazingly and even has 3 super fast charging ports in front. An all rounder devce to make the centerpiece of a setup! Display link connection is great, and had 2 other HDMI ports to boot. You can also tell the materials have a certain quality and weight that feels premium, just like its price.

Nothing but problems. Mac M4 64GB, with 2 exact same Samsung Monitors. Too many bugs and inconsistencies. Each time I go to use my laptop 50/50 chance left and right screens have swapped. Most of the time one or both of the monitors could be 30hz, hard to get them both 60hz, even if the Anker device tells me they're running at 60hz - seems like just keep unplugging and rebooting to make it happen eventually if youre lucky. Worst of all... OMG, the frame rate drops insanely on just a single monitor, seems random which one it chooses. This device seemed cool. Maybe it works great on Windows - but this is not a final product for Mac, it's not finished.

I have been using docking stations of various designs for 30 years, and have always found them to be convenient and useful. I have also been buying Anker gear for several years, and have always found it to be rock solid and great quality. Well, this bit of gear is no exception! Simple to configure, versatile enough to handle all my components and easy to set up. It's not the least expensive option (Anker never is), but if you are looking for solid performance and excellent quality, then this is the piece of gear for you.

I use a PC for work and a Mac for personal use. I've been looking for a doc like this for years and have wasted a lot of money in my search. With the Anker Prime Studio, I was able to connect 3 monitors with my laptops open giving me 4 screens. I'm easily able to swap the connection from my PC laptop to my Macbook Air with a single USB-c cable. It works great with very little lag when switching devices. The build quality is solid and it looks good too. Great job Anker!

This is a cool dock that really delivers on the idea of an all-in-one workspace solution, especially for anyone who likes to keep an eye on their setup. It has some enthusiast-level monitoring features you don’t normally see, letting you track power delivery to your peripherals, see the load on each port, and even check display resolutions in real time. It’s a shame that a dock this advanced still runs on USB 3.2 instead of Thunderbolt, especially at this price point, but it’s otherwise a slick and capable piece of gear. I also like the Anker app that lets me monitor my Prime charging station and Prime charger from my phone. It’s a clean, polished experience. Unfortunately, this dock uses a separate app, Anker Dock Manager, instead of integrating into the same ecosystem. It would’ve been great to see everything unified in one place. Still, for mixed-device setups or desktop use, this dock stands out for its power monitoring, build quality, and functionality. Just keep an eye out for sales—I bought mine right before it dropped by about $80, which stings a bit, but good for anyone who gets it at that lower price.
