I have had this dock for over 4 months now and have been only mildly satisfied with it. I want to love it as it's one of the few 4k TB4 docks that comes with USB 2.0 ports. Why is an under-powered port a positive? Because I use a Logitech MX mouse and keyboard with a Mac and I use the USB receiver to connect them to overcome the issues associated with connecting third party accessories to a Mac via bluetooth. Unfortunately, Logitech USB receivers are notorious for working poorly when connected to USB 3.0 ports. I have no idea why, but it's a real problem. So that is a big positive for this dock. another is the on/off switch. I know I could just unplug my computer but it's a nice quality of life feature, especially if I am having a connection issue.
Now the cons. Honestly, this dock is just unreliable when waking up my monitor which is a brand new LG 4k display. I am connected through a high quality HDMI cable but getting the monitor to work is always a gamble. Generally, I can see the monitor power on but nothing shows on the display and it goes back to sleep. Some times it wakes up immediately, other times I have to login to my computer blind and then it will turn on. Sometimes I have to power the dock on and off and sometimes I just give up. I really wish there was a way to update this dock via firmware so resolve this issue since all components involved are relatively new (MacBook Air M1 and New LG 4k Display)
