works for me!
I am using a M5 MBA on the latest software. This is the first time I had a docking station that worked with my two external monitors. I have always had a 34" Ultrawide and a 24" regular monitor(that I turn in 180 degrees so I can access more up/down). I had been looking for a solution for 2 external monitors and couldn't find one until now. This dock is super fancy and expensive but it's worth it because it works.When I first got the dock, I was using both HDMI ports and one monitor was working but the other monitor wasn't working. I initially thought immediately about returning the dock because it was so expensive and then I tried using the DP port and into my HDMI and it worked. I guess I bought the wrong cable so I bought the right one however, I did confirm that it worked perfectly.Please make sure you have the proper cables for your monitors before you return this and deem it incompatible because I'm telling you it works on both the M1 MBA and the M5 MBA but I don't know if it'll work previous versions however I don't see why not if you downloaded the Displaylink software.I have not tested this long term but it works for my needs so I'll give it a 5 star. My needs are super basic.6/12/2026: so this dock kick butt. It works on the M1 MBA and the M5 MBA. Apple specs say you can’t use dual display monitors for the M1 but it works just fine with Display Link software. On the M5 it says you can’t use dual monitors only use 2 monitors in clam shell mode. I have tested the M1 MBA and it work just fine. The M5 can be used with 2 monitors and with the MBA opened at the same time so it’s like 3 screens. I don’t know if it’s because of the DL software or not. I would guess it has something to do with it. If I had know it’d work on my M1 I probably wouldn’t have bought the M5 MBA.See photo attached. It’s the M5 MBA.So for me it’s 5 stars. It does everything I want and I like the style because it’s futuristic. lol. It would be cool if it had a built in retractable cable that connects to your MacBook. That would be dope and super packable.So far, no issues with the dock however, it does not work unless DL app is downloaded because it uses your screen sharing feature and emulates the monitors. That being said, apps like Netflix, CrunchyRoll, Peacock, etc,.(mostly streaming services) won't work with DL because it's using a form of screen sharing/screen recording. If you're looking to watch Netflix using this dock then you'll need to download Google Chrome and go on Netflix with that after you go into the Chrome settings and turn off the "hardware acceleration" option. Once you turn that option off you'll be able to run Netflix with no issues but you'll need to use Chrome. Figured this out the hard way.FYI. Will not work on any laptops that doesn't have DL downloaded. I'm using a MBA M5 so this works well for what I need it for.Ver másVer menos
