Howdo I understand which laptop docking stations do NOT require a software driver installation, so I can recommend compatible docking stations to employees? People cannot install software themselves and we (IT Dept) cannot install third party software drivers for security reasons.

I want to recommend docking stations for people to use at home with their business laptop. Some are asking for low cost recommendations. We purchase enterprise docking stations for in-office use only, which are too expensive for most to purchase themselves. I see some low cost third party docking stations come with a display driver, while other do not appear to require a driver. We do not support third party installation drivers, outside of OEM laptop manufacturer, due to security requirements.


Most docking stations are in the price range of USD 100 to USD 300 (which is not overly expensive if you think of the ease of use).

One of the more expensive docking stations I would think is the ones for Dell and HP lappy where they need an extra large power supply.


The advantage for me is convenience, plugging 1 cable (USB C) into my laptop when I get home vs 6 or 7 cables that may or may not be where I left them and I get couple of extra USB ports for when I need to use memory sticks or external devices without having to unplug something else, my laptop, as good as it is lacks ports


You are correct. Dell and HP USB-C docking stations do not require additional software, although they are pricy due to power brick. I found a $50 deal on one of these, although that is only a short sale.


We use Dell UD22 (previously WD19TBS and D6000). We can and have installed drivers, but I have noticed the docks work perfectly with my personal laptop and zero installs.

Not cheap, but USB-C and does everything.


They all require drivers, but for Windows 10 & 11, those drivers are generally available from MS Update so they get installed silently in the background. The most common display driver requirement for a generic dock is going to be DisplayLink. It allows the display to be bundled over the USB connection, and it has some limitations. Thunderbolt would be the best option for connectivity because it carries DP traffic.


If you are supplying Docks at work (which are presumably USB (C or A) connected) what drivers do you install for those (if any)? As has been suggested the most likely one would be DisplayLink which seems to be used by almost all USB docks that are not thunderbolt connected these drivers are pretty generic so will drive any other manufacturers dock as long as it uses Displaylink. This is what we use & have had very few problems with multiple docks (ranging in age & manufacturer from some really old VGA Kensington docks circ 2008 to bang up to date triple 4k ones from itec - all use the same driver install).


$160 for an OEM dock is pretty competitive with third party docks like the Cable Matters ones we used when HP docks were on eternal back order. As noted earlier the vast majority of USB-C and USB 3 docks will need Display Link drivers. The other considerations for docks are supported display resolutions, Are your users running 4k or more modest 1920x1080?


I realise this is a very old thread, but I'm considering getting a new MBP 13 and have a trusty Lenovo USB3 dock which I'd prefer not to have to replace (it's not necessarily a deal breaker but could be another $150-$250 I'd prefer not to spend in switching back to Mac).


I'm using that dock on MBP for additional screen + printer. Aukey made a great USB-C power pass-thru adapter that includes USB 3.0 ports and HDMI port as well. i got it on amazon for something like $45.


While Lenovo doesn't supply a driver for the display adapters, the chipset inside it (and as far as I can tell, all other USB 3.0 to DisplayPort devices) is provided by DisplayLink. You can install the generic DisplayLink adapter drivers directly from their website at:


I am using the Lenovo usb 3.0 dual monitor docking station with the new beta drivers March 13 2015. I think they got it right now. No more screen blinking when watching videos and ethernet is working great. I have Mac Book Pro 15.4 11.2 Mid 2014. This is my first mac.


The product uses DisplayLink driver. As long as the Displaylink driver supports the Operating System and the Hardware, the docking station will work. Because the inquiry is for iPad, iPad used iPadOS and this is not currently in supported list if Dis...
