Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this port replicator because I have more devices than I have ports on my laptop. I have a an HP dv4-2045dx running Windows 7 64 bit.
Pros: It works well after installing the drivers on the CD. Need to install drivers because Win 7 didn't recognize as plug 'n play. Have had no problem with any of the devices plugged in: keyboard, wireless mouse, fingerprint detector, cooling pad, et al. Can use Skype without a problem.
Cons: connecting iPhone to it does not open iTunes and syncing; cannot hear audio from any source while it is plugged in. If want to see YouTube video, play music on iTunes, play videos or listen to music locally using Windows Media Player must disconnect the port. That means that I lose keyboard, mouse and fingerprint device. Bummer!!!
To be fair, if I plug in headphones to the port replicator, I can hear the audio...but, I do not want to use headphones all the time. I work from home and I love to play music loudly while I work.
It may be an operating system problem I am experiencing. However, for the price, I had expected that I would be able to have complete use of the laptop functionality with the port replicator plugged in.
