However you can still effectively enjoy a triple display experience from one laptop: one monitor connected to the Dynadock, one to the laptop and the laptop’s own display being the third. Of greater concern is the video performance and it’s where the Dynadock does fall down just a little bit. The rest of the connections are hidden out of sight on the rear of the unit, with an optional metal brace for cable management. A link to the drivers for all operating systems including Windows 8 are available at the end of this document.

Otherwise, there’s as similar range of features, and the Dynadock U10 connects to your PC via a single USB cable and provides six USB ports (four rear and two front), allowing you to you leave all of your peripherals, such as a printer, keyboard and mouse, plugged in. Despite Toshiba claiming its dock supports ‘high resolution video output’ over HDCP-enabled DVI and 5.

It allows you to see all of the devices recognized by your system, and the drivers associated with them. Fixed it, good old YouTube, I had to enable Screen Recording in the security and privacy section, then I had to run the DisplayLink driver from start up, following both these changes I have full extended displays. The DynaDock is available in black, silver and white, but since we prefer the dark side, the black model is the one we’re reviewing.

This is a nifty trick to pull, but chances are most people will simply use the Dynadock to add docking capabilities to a laptop that doesn’t have its own propriety dock connection. On a Toshiba laptop, the function keys FN/F5 do not work when I have the dynadock connected to external monitors.Into this slots the port station, which consists of two gunmetal-grey curved sides around a mirror-black centrepiece containing all the ports and indicators, which are sensibly divided. It’s great to see the resolution support has increased to 1,920 x 1,200, but the video output from the Dynadock is still left wanting somewhat. In particular you can just notice that Windows don’t move quite as smoothly; it’s a close run thing, though, and we ran into no problems using a monitor attached to the Dynadock.

Today, we have millions of users a month from around the world, and assess more than 1,000 products a year.Batteries on all Dynabook notebooks are replaceable, if your Notebook battery needs replacement either in warranty or out of warranty, Dynabook recommends taking it to an authorized provider for the battery to be replaced. Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest. MacBook Pro 13-in 2018 does not have HDMI port, so to drive a display directly, you would need an adapter from USB-C. You can also have up to three screens on your desk, (your laptop’s built-in screen, one via its video output and one over the DynaDock’s DVI) and view different applications on each display or one stretched across all three. If you intend to use it as it was intended, for working, it’s just fine, but its less than perfectly smooth video performance precludes it from the award it otherwise deserves.
