Prime Docking Station (DL7400), 14-in-1 Triple Display, DisplayLink | 140W Max, Smart Display, Triple 4K@60Hz (2 HDMI+1 DP), for Windows Laptops (The Latest DisplayLink Driver Must Installed)

I am using a M5 MBA on the latest software. This is the first time I had a docking station that worked with my two external monitors. I have always had a 34" Ultrawide and a 24" regular monitor(that I turn in 180 degrees so I can access more up/down). I had been looking for a solution for 2 external monitors and couldn't find one until now. This dock is super fancy and expensive but it's worth it because it works. When I first got the dock, I was using both HDMI ports and one monitor was working but the other monitor wasn't working. I initially thought immediately about returning the dock because it was so expensive and then I tried using the DP port and into my HDMI and it worked. I guess I bought the wrong cable so I bought the right one however, I did confirm that it worked perfectly. Please make sure you have the proper cables for your monitors before you return this and deem it incompatible because I'm telling you it works on both the M1 MBA and the M5 MBA but I don't know if it'll work previous versions however I don't see why not if you downloaded the Displaylink software. I have not tested this long term but it works for my needs so I'll give it a 5 star. My needs are super basic. 6/12/2026: so this dock kick butt. It works on the M1 MBA and the M5 MBA. Apple specs say you can’t use dual display monitors for the M1 but it works just fine with Display Link software. On the M5 it says you can’t use dual monitors only use 2 monitors in clam shell mode. I have tested the M1 MBA and it work just fine. The M5 can be used with 2 monitors and with the MBA opened at the same time so it’s like 3 screens. I don’t know if it’s because of the DL software or not. I would guess it has something to do with it. If I had know it’d work on my M1 I probably wouldn’t have bought the M5 MBA. See photo attached. It’s the M5 MBA. So for me it’s 5 stars. It does everything I want and I like the style because it’s futuristic. lol. It would be cool if it had a built in retractable cable that connects to your MacBook. That would be dope and super packable. So far, no issues with the dock however, it does not work unless DL app is downloaded because it uses your screen sharing feature and emulates the monitors. That being said, apps like Netflix, CrunchyRoll, Peacock, etc,.(mostly streaming services) won't work with DL because it's using a form of screen sharing/screen recording. If you're looking to watch Netflix using this dock then you'll need to download Google Chrome and go on Netflix with that after you go into the Chrome settings and turn off the "hardware acceleration" option. Once you turn that option off you'll be able to run Netflix with no issues but you'll need to use Chrome. Figured this out the hard way. FYI. Will not work on any laptops that doesn't have DL downloaded. I'm using a MBA M5 so this works well for what I need it for.

I’m a big Anker fan and this docking station mostly lives up to what I expect from them. The biggest reason I bought it was to run triple screens off my Mac, and it actually delivers on that, which isn’t always easy to find. Once everything is up and running, it works great. Displays are stable, connection is solid, and it really cleans up my desk with a single cable setup. Build quality feels premium too, like most Anker stuff. The one downside is the driver situation. You do have to download and run software to get full functionality, which isn’t ideal. It’s not hard exactly, but it does add an extra step and I could see less techy people getting a little confused. I had to poke around a bit to get it all working right. After setup though, no real complaints. It does exactly what I need it to do and does it reliably. If you want triple monitors on a Mac and don’t mind a little setup, this is a really solid option.

I really want to like Anker products, but they strike out for me more than they win. This dock is not great. First, you have to have DisplayLink installed on your computer, which makes no sense because it doesn't do anything different than your built-in display settings. The Ethernet port isn't a true 2.5G. I get download speeds of 700-900, and upload speeds of over 2300 (I have 3 GB). There is a bottleneck somewhere in the download speeds, but Anker claims it is not the dock and that they've tested this with the exact two laptops that I currently use, and they have no issues. When I remove the monitors and just use the dock for Ethernet, the speeds do not change. When I remove the Ethernet cord and plug it into an external 2.5G plug, I get full up and down speeds. The dock itself doesn't seem to fully support two monitors. Intermittently, it will lose monitor connection, and my monitors and the dock will start flashing. I have to then unplug and plug the dock back in to get it to reset itself. All in all, it is NOT worth $200+ and does not do what the specs say it does. It looks sleek, has a good number of ports and charging capabilities, and a decent interface, but my biggest issues are the bottlenecked download speeds and the intermittent connectivity with my monitors.

I picked this up for my work-from-home setup, and it was mostly plug and play. I did run into a small issue at first where my laptop wouldn’t connect to the monitors, but after updating my laptop software, everything worked as expected. I use this dock to run three monitors, and it’s been reliable with no lag or display issues. The build quality stood out right away—it feels sturdy and well-made, not flimsy like some other docking stations I’ve used. I also appreciate the number of ports available. I regularly plug in my phone and AirPods at my desk, and it’s convenient having everything connected in one place. I picked this up during a Black Friday sale, which made it a great value, and it’s now an essential part of my WFH setup. If you need a solid, well-built dock for a multi-monitor setup, this one has worked well for me.

Used with MBP and Lenovo Yoga laptops and worked flawlessly for both devices with 2 monitors connected via HDMI. Has more than enough watts and ports to support power users.

I have connected three monitors to the docking station 2x HDMI and 1x display port. This combination does not work. Only when you connect 3x HDMI does it work. I had to get a HDMI to DisplayPort converter. Once it worked it does take a few tries for it to sync all three in the configuration need and sometimes a restart is required when it messes up the order of the screens as one of my screens is rotated 90degrees. The docking station itself looks good and the display is fun. But you will have to tinker with it and convert a display port to HDMI for it to work with three monitors. I would have expected better performance for the price it cost.

This is a VERY Honest review and should be a warning to anyone looking to buy this for Macbook usage. My setup: I have an M2 Max Macbook Pro with 2x 4k 120hz monitors and 1x 2560x2880 LG DualUp 60hz programming monitor. I consider my use case to be the a power user setup but by all means not as hard as pushing 6k or 8k. TLDR: If you need more displays no matter what. This is for you. If you need a high performance product, run away. I will be segmenting this review into a few points: Capability, Style, Performance, Practicality Capability: This device is very "Capable" meaning it can theoretically do quite a bit. So many ports and settings. You'll love that idea. It can deliver more than enough power to all your devices. Its going to work with all your devices with no issue on compatibility. Noise level isn't an issue as I have never heard the fan kick on. Style: The Best part of the device is that its probably the best looking dock under $400. Performance... : This is the part of the review that gets bad. ALL DISPLAYS RUN THROUGH DISPLAYLINK. This means every display needs to be encoded by your computer before its sent to the Anker, which then decodes it for the display. You are not interacting realtime with the display. Its essentially a streaming video. Here's why this is bad: 1. If you are sensitive to crawling compression artifacts in small details, you'll see it when there is motion. 2. If you are sensitive to motion clarity, you'll see jutter. No matter what. 3. If you are sensitive to gradient color banding, you'll see it. Its like going from 10 bit to 6 bit with dithering. Once you see it, you cant unsee it. It gets worse the higher the refresh rate you select as well. Compression reasons. 4. If you are mouse lag sensitive, you'll see it immediately on displays connected and not connected to the Anker (if you have any higher resolution displays above 1440p). Mouse lag is not as bad on directly connected to macbook displays but anything running through the Anker will be minimum 100ms+. 5. Even if you run only a portion of your displays through the device, your laptop will be constantly under load. 6. Due to the constant "screen sharing" nature of this product, you'll always see the screen share icon at the top and if you even try to do any other screen sharing such as sharing the display over Teams, OBS, Discord, Teamviewer or any other features that requires streaming the display, YOUR COMPUTER WILL CRAWL. The slowdown is so intense. 1-2 FPS intense. 7. All advanced monitor features (like HDR, Variable refresh rate, ect.) simply dont work because MacOS is seeing an emulated version of your display which comes with display color profiles and resolutions but thats it. I have to run the displays going through the Anker at 60FPS which at this point only 2 monitors (LG DUALUP and 1 4k monitor) and its still the most degradation of daily performance I've ever seen. If this was less than $100, it would be tolerable for most power users but for me, if I want to use higher refresh rates, I just cant without the computer becoming essentially unbearable. As an entrepreneur, this has probably annoyed me so much it lost me more money than the device cost. Do yourself a favor if you have a M series Pro or Max trim Macbook Pro, get a thunderbolt specific dock because the displays wont be delivered with any lag or missing features. The best part is that those docks aren't always more expensive either. With this dock, you are paying for capability, not performance.

I got this on sale during black friday to replace an old Dell dock that only supported a 4k monitor @ 30 Hz (FPS). I'm happy with it. I have a 4k monitor running at 60 Hz now as well as an 2nd, 1080p screen @ 60 Hz (that's all the monitor supported -- the dock can go higher). I tested a 1440p monitor and it was able to go to 100 Hz as advertized (monitor supported 165 Hz). There are a ton of ports including 3 front facing USB-C. As far as getting to to work, I tried a laptop and a desktop that both had Windows 11 installed, but had never connected to a displaylink device and they downloaded and installed the driver automatically. The desktop didn't have another monitor attached and after booting a few minutes later the screen started working. Completely painless for an already existing system. If you need to get into the BIOS / firmware it seems like you will need to connect a monitor directly. I didn't buy it to game on, but the desktop has an older Nvidia 1650 GPU that was used to render the video and display on either monitor and it was pretty close to native. It's pretty pricy at regular price, but I'd still buy it. For black friday pricing I'm extatic with the purchase.

Unit is surprisingly heavy but very neat. Software download was simple and easy (restart required). Simple and quick to set up, no fettling or faffing necessary. Overall a great purchase and excellent product.

Solid build quality and very reliable performance. Handles multiple displays smoothly, charges fast, and keeps my desk setup clean with all ports in one place. Works exactly as expected and feels premium.

Worked as advertised. Driving dual 4k monitors from my Apple MacBook Neo. Easy to setup. Provides ample ports and power.

Straight forward to connect to the laptop. Like the fact that it doubles up as a power adapter for the laptop. All my connections in one tidy area - well recommended.

The Anker PowerExpand Elite DL7400 powers my ultimate 5-screen Mac setup flawlessly: a 34” ultrawide at 3440x1440 for main workspace, two 27” monitors for references and tools, the MacBook screen for quick checks, and iPad Pro via Sidecar for notes—all running smooth at high refresh rates with zero lag, flicker, or dropped frames across both MacBook Pro and Air. No compression artifacts or stuttering during heavy multitasking like code editing, virtual machines, and browser tabs. The 3 USB-C ports completely replaced my old charging station—they deliver fast 100W PD to keep laptops topped off during 10+ hour sessions while powering hubs, external drives, and accessories without a single dropout. Its compact aluminum design makes my desk clean and modern. Perfect macOS dock—game-changer for productivity.
