Slowing down performance of the Laptop
I decided to purchase this product based on the brand's reputation and my need for a powerful dock that would reduce wire clutter and free up ports on my XPS15 2019 laptop, which is one of the most powerful work laptops on the market. As an artist, I use a Wacom screen tablet with 1080p resolution for work and have an additional 4K 27-inch LG C type connectivity screen. However, after using the dock for a few days, I noticed that my screen tablet and system performance were a bit laggy. Despite changing the wires of input and output ports, the performance remained affected. The dock tends to heat up quite a bit if all ports on the back are in use, but this is a standard warning on the product and is normal. When I removed the dock and went back to connecting all devices directly to my laptop, the performance was normal again. This suggests that the dock was unable to handle all the data through a C-type cable in my laptop. Unfortunately, I had exhausted my 7-day replacement period while testing various combinations to maximize performance. As a result, I am now stuck with a 50K purchase with no way of getting a refund or replacement. Anker support was unable to assist me because the product was purchased from Amazon and Amazon does not offer any warranty assistance. Although I'm not entirely sure if it was my laptop or the dock that was unable to handle the data, my laptop works fine when all the same devices are connected directly. Therefore, I caution potential buyers to be careful before making this purchase.
