Super SmartThe footprint of the dock is relatively small and is completely out of the way when in use. The dock’s width is slightly smaller than the average laptop, and the front-to-back wedge shape is about half the length of a laptop. The design is meant for the laptop to sit on, covering the dock and allowing air to circulate under and cool the computer. On either side of the dock are easy access USB ports (one 3.0 rapid charge), with additional Audio In and Audio Out ports on one side. |
Super FunctionalWhen productivity is the priority, the Targus USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Universal Docking Station creates a productive environment. With the ability to support two monitors with better than HD quality, and an array of other support devices, the Universal SuperSpeed Docking Station empowers users to be hyper-functional. Just imagine the ease of building a PowerPoint with a screen (or two) to hold assets and a screen to build the presentation. Not to mention using a full-sized mouse and keyboard to search for, capture, and drag and drop assets. |
Your Passport to ProductivityThe Targus USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Universal Docking Station is equipped with four USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0 ports to plug in peripherals, Audio In/Out ports, one HDMI port, one DVI-I port, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and a lock slot. Also included are HDMI to DVI-D and DVI-I to VGA adapters to increase your monitor and video capabilities. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
As it turned out, it took a bit of a search. I learned about the latest generation of "universal" docking stations which are made possible by USB 3.0, as I understand it. Two reps at HP's Boise Sales Office (who were great, by the way) told me that the Targus ACP71USZ would work with my laptop (which has a USB 3.0 port), in spite of a review to the contrary on the HP website page describing the unit. In fact, they said, the Targus unit was connected to the same laptop in the "playpen" in their office, and they could vouch for the fact that it worked.
So, I ordered it from Amazon. When it arrived, I followed advice others had offered in other reviews: (1) update your USB 3.0 host controller driver (mine was current); (2) download the latest drivers from Targus or Displaylink (ignore the CD that comes with the unit). Turns out DisplayLink had a newer version than Targus itself did, so I downloaded and installed it before connecting the unit to my laptop.
Contrary to other reviews, the docking station DID have a power tip to fit my laptop, which was a relief, so the laptop charges when it's connected to the dock. Everything else (wireless keyboard and mouse, audio, printer) is powered through the USB 3.0 cable which connects to the dock. Once connected, the laptop recognized the dock, and everything worked just as I hoped, with no noticeable loss in performance!
I like the fact that the docking station will accommodate any laptop for which there is a power tip, so this should be the last docking station I need to buy. The unit itself is very well made, and reflects a nice design. It even fits nicely within my monitor stand! Finding the power tips is a bit tricky (the HP reps were helpful here too); you flip up a door on top of the unit to reveal a compartment with 8 different tips.
All in all, armed with the advice from previous reviewers and the HP reps, it was a piece of cake, proving it pays to do your research, I guess. Judging from the reviews, I guess the ACP71USZ will work with some laptops and not others, and in the final analysis there is really only one way to find out: order it from a store with a reasonable return policy and try it out!
UPDATE: A little more than a year later, and the Targus unit is still going strong, with no problems over the past year. My Windows 8 computer recognizes it as part of the system, and even tells me when firmware updates are available, which was unexpected! This little unit still gets five stars from me!
UPDATE 10/06/14: After working perfectly for 1.5 years, my external monitor (attached to the dock) stopped working. Attaching the monitor directly to the computer revealed that the monitor was working just fine. A visit to the Targus web site showed the same driver already installed. On a hunch, I visited the DisplayLink (whose logo appears on the product) web site and found a new driver. Installed it; problem solved. Lesson here: check BOTH the Targus and DisplayLink web sites for driver updates. By the way, tried running "Update Driver" from inside Device Manager, and it pointed me toward the Targus site, but NOT the DisplayLink site.
UPDATE 01/18/16 Two years now, and aside from the driver lesson learned that I described in the previous update, it's been nothing but smooth sailing with this well-designed little dock! I'd still give it five stars! The dock is on my mind currently because up until now I've used a 24" external LED monitor, and my laptop monitor as needed. Now I'm thinking of adding a second 24" monitor, using the Targus dock. I'm not entirely sure of the best way to do that, since my current monitor uses an HDMI cable, and there is only one HDMI port on the dock. I'm sure a little study will turn up the answer to the cabling question.
I then removed the hdmi cable and put it back on my tv so I needed to convert the hdmi to dvi which worked great. I then needed to convert the dvi to vga which also worked great.
I even connected the power adapter to the laptop and it now replaced my Toshiba AC adapter and made it a spare which is nice.
Advantages
1. Flat unit so it fits under my riser nicely.
2. I now have a spare AC adapter since I use the power adapter that came with it
3. I now have three monitors ( 1 laptop, 2 external )
4. The ability to use straight hdmi, dvi and or convert hdmi, dvi, vga came in handy
5. I now use a gb ethernet cable always plugged into the Targus which is still faster then my draft N wifi nic
6. The screen resolutions were auto detected ( by Windows 7 ) but played nicely with the Targus
7. I plugged in my Logitech unifying adapter into the Targus to use my wireless keyboard and mouse which saves me a usb port on my laptop.
8. I plugged in my external dvd drive into one of the usb 2.0 ports and it worked great to install Windows 8 into a vm.
Cons
1. Unit is a little bigger then I had hoped but minor
2. With Ultrabooks becoming more popular, additonal manufacturer tips would make sense
All in All, I have had a perfect experience, recommend it.
Set up was easy. Plug in the needed cables to the dock; then connect to my laptop. It took less than a minute for my laptop to download the correct drivers. My computer also remembers the display settings so I don’t have to configure the monitors every time I dock it. I just plug it in and go. It also remembers different settings for the monitors at home and work.
Pros:
Simple, clean look. Everything plugs into the back of the dock so you can keep your wires out of the way.
Powered. No fumbling around for your laptop's O.E. power supply as the dock provides one for you. Plenty of tips, too.
It just works. No, seriously. Plug your laptop in and enjoy a full-desktop experience.
Ports. Plenty of them. You trade one USB 3.0 port for 6 additional ports, 2 of those being USB 3.0. DVI, HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, and speaker/mic
Cons:
Tricky to set up. Requires a driver install before anything actually works.
Not a true "port expander". Proprietary docks like the one for my HP are tied directly to the motherboard. This dock uses a USB 3.0 interface instead.
Short USB cable. My ASUS is a large laptop, the cable barely reaches to the USB 3.0 ports.
Works very well for home use. Definitely keeping this one.
Top reviews from other countries
The only problem we have is the power adapters did not fit our laptop but Targus is looking if a power tip is available. If they don't have one, i will re-asses the review.
It had everything I could possibly need to connect a monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc. The power tips provided make sure you should be able to use it on just about all of the name brand laptops. And it finding a docking station that would also power/charge a laptop without using the laptop's separate power cord was very difficult. In fact, this is likely one of your only viable options. Good thing is that this docking station has you covered with all of the connection options for monitors, USB 3.0, and more. Check out the Targus web site for complete specs, etc. as needed. I would not hesitate to buy this item again.
I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review, all opinions expressed are my own. My rating and review are results of testing and personal use of this product.
