HIS Multi-View X2 USB Docking Station Review

Others/Miscelleneous by stefan @ 2015-03-31

The Multi-View X2 USB Docking Station from HIS is a real help when we are frequently on the road or even at offices if using compact laptops/ultrabooks with a low number of ports. With laptops and Windows tablets, we are able to have up to four displays on at the same time (the internal display, the second display via the tablet/laptop HDMI output, third and fourth display thanks to the dock), but also plenty of USB ports for data transfer, quick charging or connecting various peripherals. In case we lack a LAN port, the dock also provides it for us, along with an additional headphone and microphone jack.

Packaging, A Closer Look

In this article we will look upon another interesting device from HIS, which complements the previously tested Multi-View USB Portable Docking Station product, which we have reviewed previously. This kind of products are quite handy to people which are on the move quite a bit or prefer using laptops/Windows tablets instead of desktops in order to save space and in the same time benefit from the extra ports. The product we are going to take a look upon today is baptized Multi-View X2 USB Dual Display Docking Station and this one is shipped in a larger box, which also shows on the top area a connectivity example along with some of the available features:

 

 

 

By flipping the box on a side, we will learn about the box contents:

 

 

 

On the bottom area, HIS likes to explain more which devices we can connect to this docking station, and we will also get a more detailed product description, features list or system requirements:

 

 

 

Inside, we will get to see the main product along with its bundle, but let’s look closer:

 

 

 

HIS has included here the power adapter, the removable dock stand, one small manual, the USB 3.0 cable and one installation disk:

 

 

 

The power adapter helps to provide additional power to the product and enable fast charging; this one is rated 5V, 4A on the output:

 

 

 

The adapter cable ends up with a jack plug:

 

 

 

Inside the small manual, HIS will guide us on how to proceed with the software installation; as with other DisplayLink devices before it, the user needs to make sure that the software is installed prior to hardware installation. The latest version of the software can be always picked up from the DisplayLink official website:

 

 

 

The dock stand sports the same color with the main product and will help it stand vertically:
