## Description

Model Number： A8396

Review: 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 desertcart and desertcart 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.
Review: I was fighting with intermittent connection issues using an Anker USB-C hub. Tried several things, but no luck. This, while substantially more expensive, has been rock solid in the 2 days I’ve used it (with the old set up, I’d have seen the monitor flicker a dozen times a day!!). I just wish it supported displaylink to permit a second monitor (obviously it would also need a second hdmi port)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If this had 10Gbit Ethernet it would be perfect. Can you please make this someday?**
A: 10Gb Ethernet would add substantial cost to this devices. It would also make it larger and cooling would become a bigger factor. It's going to be several years before you see docks with that level of networking.

**Q: First monitor connected with hdmi to hdmi works fine. 2nd monitor -- connected downstream usb c port with a usb c to hdmi cord. no signal. thoughts?**
A: USB C and Thunderbolt are very different. You have to check the connections. I believe that the second monitor must be Thunderbolt

**Q: Is it fully compatible with Linux?**
A: Yes.

**Q: Does the hdmi port support a single 3840x1600@120hz?**
A: I don’t think so. This is the answer i got from their website. 

How many external displays can this dock support and what are the maximum resolutions?

This dock supports connection to two external monitors—one connected via the HDMI 2.0 port, and another via the USB-C Thunderbolt 3 downstream port. You can also connect to a third monitor by connecting a USB-C to dual HDMI adapter to the Thunderbolt 3 downstream port. Below are the maximum resolutions:

1) Single monitor: 5K (5120 x 2880 @ 60Hz) via the Thunderbolt 3 downstream port; 4K (4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz) via the HDMI port.

2) Dual monitor: 4K (4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz) via the Thunderbolt 3 downstream port and HDMI port.

3) Triple monitor: 4K (4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz) via the HDMI port; 2 × 4K@30Hz via the Thunderbolt 3 downstream port using a USB-C to dual HDMI adapter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by I***D on 6 June 2025*

Dateline: A Desk Drowning in a Sea of Wires, 1:08 AM. In the savage jungle of the modern workspace, the enemy is chaos. It’s a creeping, insidious tangle of power bricks, dongles, and adapters—a Medusa’s head of plastic and copper that strangles your productivity and frays your last nerve. You need a central nervous system. You need a master plan. You need a single, elegant brick of pure, unadulterated connectivity that can bring order to the madness. Enter the Anker 577 Docking Station. It doesn’t swagger; it sits. A dense, cool, metallic slab that feels less like a computer accessory and more like a mysterious artifact from a more advanced civilization. The name is modest, but the specs are a declaration of total war on clutter: 13-in-1. Thirteen ports. A veritable hydra of high-speed potential, ready to absorb every peripheral you can throw at it. But the real magic, the sacred covenant of this device, is the single Thunderbolt 3 cable. This is the One Cable to Rule Them All. You plug this solitary, elegant cord into your laptop, and the world changes. Suddenly, you have a firehose of 85-watt power flowing into your machine, keeping it juiced for the long haul. Simultaneously, your dual 4K monitors blink to life, a sprawling digital vista that makes a single laptop screen feel like peering through a keyhole. Your keyboard, your mouse, your external hard drive, your ethernet cable—everything connects to the dock, leaving your desk a landscape of Zen-like simplicity. It’s a revolution. A single act of connection that replaces a frantic, multi-step ritual of plugging and unplugging half a dozen different things. The Anker 577 becomes the brain stem, the central hub through which all data flows. And it flows fast. We’re talking 10 Gbps data transfers, an SD card reader that inhales photos like a starving man at a banquet, and a dedicated 18W port on the front to keep your phone topped off while you work. And here’s the kicker, the part that makes this whole proposition verge on the surreal: the price. In the rarefied air of "real" Thunderbolt docks—a market full of high-priced gatekeepers and extortion-level fees—the Anker 577 stands as a monument to common sense. It delivers the same face-melting performance and connectivity as its far more expensive rivals without demanding you take out a second mortgage. It’s the smart money, the thinking man’s choice, a subversive act of pure, high-tech value. This is not just a docking station. It is a declaration of independence. Independence from clutter, from dongles, from the tyranny of a thousand different chargers. It has taken the chaotic, multi-pronged assault of modern peripherals and funneled it into a single, elegant, and shockingly powerful solution. It doesn’t just clean up your desk; it cleans up your workflow, leaving you with nothing to focus on but the work itself. And in the dead of night, when the deadlines are closing in, that kind of clarity is priceless.
