So happy I found this adapter for the price I did because of the sale they had that day, most importantly it supports both monitors and that’s hard to find with the Mac air and still has a few usb as well. I apologize for the mess in my pictures but look at that resolution it provides nothing like my previous adapter and computer.

I bought this to set up a home office and multiple tv's used as monitors. This was my second choice due to cost. I really wish instead of the slots for memory cards it had one more spot for a keyboard or mouse type connection. I was able to use this for both tv's, wireless keyboard/mouse, my cell phone but since I needed one more port my wireless camera had to be connected right to the computer. I would have preferred it to be the Targus. Overall great product, easy to use/setup and I would buy again if needed.

For a 2018 MacBook Pro user, this is the ONLY one that separates my 2 external screens independently. All other adapters with 2 HDMI ports can only put out the same signal. So this is the one.

Gave as a Christmas gift to my girlfriend and she loves it. Matches her new 14" MacBook Pro. Feels very well made, have not had the chance to use all the ports yet.

It quit working 3 months after purchase and best buy would not let me exchange it. Do they really expect people to just buy another one?

These were my 4th and 5th dongles, respectively, for a 2019 MBP. I principally only use the HDMI ports, although wired Ethernet is also often needed too for reliability and a non-Wi-Fi connection, and all the possible problems and vulnerabilities those entail.
Adapter #4 already developed a slightly intermittent USB-C, causing brief drop-outs on Zoom, the Internet, HDMI, etc. Most of my electronics accumulated over the decades still works, and remain in superb condition, so it's a bit disappointing that one of these adapters has already gone intermittent. Still, I'm giving the dongle 5 stars as these do travel extensively, and the dongle cable is sometimes under tension (as it's too short to dress the cable when the laptop is on a stand, or is re-positioned for viewing or typing angle, etc.).
Targus, if you're listening, I'd appreciate this exact same dongle but with a fully 1-foot long cord, to allow improved routing of the dongle when attached to the laptop, at different angles and positions. This seems to be the common weak point on dongles. There are work arounds, but having it all in the one unit really is more desirable, particularly given the 100W rating (i.e. daisy-chaining dongle or extension cables just to get 1 foot of length, while degrading the signal or power level through extensions).
On the other hand, adapter #5 is still fine, and has seen similar, extensive use. Past experience with Targus equipment also factors into my rating, even if that's somewhat subjective for any one, given device.
I think most people would be happy with this adapter, if these are the ports you require. This is one device that you might consider an extended warranty, however.

Meh - Not USB Perfect, but I'll Make it Work

I'm not bitterly disappointed, but this could use a little improvement. I would expect no problems if you are buying this to take advantage of dual monitors. I haven't needed the memory card slot, but the LAN port and video/power pass-through functions seem to be fine (and I'm using 4K video, so that's great). HOWEVER - it cannot seem to figure out the RF USB button for my Logitech keyboard & mouse - it gives me no keyboard and a very stuttery mouse. That defeats my purpose for buying it, because I don't want to switch the RF USB button when I switch laptops; I only want to move the dock's USB-C connector from one laptop to another (I bought this purely for convenience). I plan to overcome the problem with a Bluetooth mouse/keyboard that allows multiple device connections, but I figured I would give you a heads-up in case this is an issue for you. Otherwise, this little dock does the job.

Setup was a breeze, thanks to the plug-and-play functionality. The dock has proven to be a reliable and efficient hub, enhancing both productivity and convenience. Overall, the Targus USB-C Dual HDMI 4K Docking Station is a solid investment for anyone seeking a reliable docking solution with excellent performance.

I have a laptop thats powered by a usb c connection. I was thinking i could connect my laptop's power to the input of this unit, then put this unit's usb c into my laptop and be able to use my 2 hdmi monitors while my laptop stays powered. I got a message on my laptop saying it was slow charging. Luckily my laptop has 2 usb c inputs, so i have my laptop's power cord in one input and this unit in the other. Small inconvenience, but if my laptop only had one usb c port I would be pretty frustrated. If this unit came with its own power cord, it would have been a perfect purchase!

We are glad to hear that overall you are happy with your purchase. This Docking station does not come with its own power supply to make for easier travel (less cords to worry over) and although it does support power pass thru the host device will also need to support it. It sounds like your device may support but only to a certain point this can sometimes be changed with BIOS setting or software update from the device manufacture. Please also make sure that the cord being plugged in provides the proper amount of power with some left over for the dock. Here is a blog post with some information about this dock: https://us.targus.com/blogs/discover-targus/targus-dock423-compatibility-application-note . You can also contact our customer support team at 877-482-7487 Monday thru Friday 10 AM to 7 PM EST. They will be happy to help you.

Great purchase. I’ve been looking for a new dongle that has the ability to house two HDMI outlets. It works like a charm and both my monitors are responsive without any delay.

It is working very well but the surface material quality was not very good; I saw lots of scratches only after a few days of using on the surface! Also I think if it has a small cover or if the cable was portable at the both sides was better for carrying in your bag.
