<p>G'day</p>
<p>In December, I posted about USB docking stations.</p>
<p>I received several helpful responses, which enabled me better to
research the options.<br>
</p>
<p>I eventually purchased an Alogic Universal Twin HD Docking
Station from Harvey Norman.<br>
</p>
<p>It took almost 3 months to receive this product, which is why I
can only report my observations now.</p>
<p>There were serious technical problems with the product, which
includes a DisplayLink chip to manage the potential two external
HDMI monitors. <br>
</p>
<p>It installed easily on my Linux computer. However, when I used
the dock with an external monitor, the mouse became very 'laggy'
and was almost impossible to use. Luckily, I had an HDMI port on
my laptop and I could use this. <br>
</p>
<p>Nevertheless, the dock serves its function to provide multiple
USB ports and an ethernet connection.</p>
<p>I hope this is helpful to other members.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>

to complete my transition to linux.
I have been searching around, and the only two docks I found which have
multiple USB-C ports are:
* HyperDrive GEN2: Next Generation USB-C Hub
* Anker PowerExpand 13-in-1 USB C Dock
Questions:
* does anyone know of other USB-C docks which will handle: 3+ USB 2/3
ports; HDMI or similar; ethernet; extra USB-C ports for peripherals,
etc.?
* How hard is it to get them working on Ubuntu (latest production
version)?</pre>
