Quote from gadgetman2k: Not necessarily. This is designed to work with Dell machines, but can interface with non-Dell after a firmware flash, BUT that flash needs to be initiated from a Dell machine, and then it still may not operate consistently. I just read about this - and concluded it wasn't worth the effort. SOURCE: Research on NewEgg, Amazon, and Dell support site. This looks like a standard Displaylink dock and I can't find anything to support your claim. Here's a link that supports that it works with another laptop make. I have the triple video version.

Jul 12, 2017 - Dell Small Business Dell D1000 Dual Video USB 3.0 Docking Station $69.99 w/. So I have no axe here - I don't own the dock or have strong feelings about Dell - but I. Deleted my previous comments about using with a MacBook Pro. No display issues, though I wish that f.lux worked with DisplayLink. Air Display users: Please don’t update your host Mac to macOS 10.13.4. It introduces severe WindowServer bugs that crash most inelegantly when you connect to a virtual monitor like Air Display (or its competitors). 10.13.3 still works fine.

I use my computers hdmi output and a separate usb to video adapter on top of this and have 5 24' screens hooked up to a dell laptop. 2 of the screens are also hooked up to a KVM and a separate computer that I can switch back and forth between. I have little to no issues out of the setup and am really happy I can use 5 screens on my laptop. Then when I travel I can simply unplug the laptop and take it with me if I need to work else I just take my smaller laptop. These seem to work quite well and are super useful if you need more screens and other things hooked up. Quote from pdinc: Link?

This looks like a standard Displaylink dock and I can't find anything to support your claim. Here's a link that supports that it works with another laptop make: So I have no axe here - I don't own the dock or have strong feelings about Dell - but I did some quick research in my quest for a good 4k dock. Below are the more relevant support links for my statements.

There is a Dell forum link that I'm not finding but it also corroborated these details. I suggest reading through a few of the Amazon or newegg reviews for the D1000 and make your own decision. Non-Dell firmware install issue: Amazon reviews (3.5 stars): Driver (for those that want it): Regarding the above mentioned 'triple video version', perhaps that different model doesn't suffer from the issues of this one? Or perhaps the dock is fine and multiple folks reporting these problems are incompetent? Or perhaps Dell has begun flashing the hardware prior to shipping. Any way, its not something I'd want to advise someone give their non-techie parent.

Which was my initial purpose in commenting.

I'm seeing complaints about the driver involved even from Dell users so I think that's likely true either way. Valid watchout, though I think my rebut is that the answer isn't as cut and dried as 'It won't work'. Quote from pdinc: Fair enough. I'm seeing complaints about the driver involved even from Dell users so I think that's likely true either way.

Valid watchout, though I think my rebut is that the answer isn't as cut and dried as 'It won't work'. Nice to see a polite dialogue on the interwebs. For what its worth, I too wouldn't consider it as cut and dried as 'it wont work'. Thats why I never made that claim.The question was 'This should work with any USB 3.0 laptop, correct?' To which I responded 'Not necessarily'.My other claim was that 'it still may not operate consistently' - which I thought was fair. Might work, may not. I try to keep precise in my words.

I think it'd be a better world if we all did so. SlickDeals has some good folks so I try to do my part.
