Determining Your DisplayPort (DP) Version:
The version of DP on your laptop, computer, or tablet directly determines the actual resolution when connecting to external monitors using the Anker hub. There are three simple ways to find out which version of DP your device has.
1. Ask your device manufacturer or seller directly.
2. If you’re using a Windows device, you can tell which version of DP you have by checking your CPU generation.
DP version 1.2 if your CPU is Intel generation 10 or earlier.DP version 1.4 if your CPU is Intel generation 11 or later.DP version 1.4 if you’re using a workstation laptop with an NVIDIA GPU.
Don’t know how to find your CPU generation? Simply go to This PC (or My Computer) > Properties and look for the number (shown in bold and underlined below):
Processer: Intel(R) Core i7-8850H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59Ghz

Customers say
Customers find the docking station works well, particularly on Linux, and appreciate its compact design that takes up minimal desk space and is easy to carry. The quality is good, and customers like the quick setup process. The HDMI ports and connectivity receive mixed reviews – while some customers can use both HDMI ports and set up their home network, others report issues with HDMI functionality and random disconnections. Customers disagree on the value for money, with some finding it worth the price while others consider it a waste of money. The monitor compatibility is problematic, as the device only supports mirroring rather than extending displays.
