This KVM docking station for
                  two laptops is the first of its kind. It functions similar to
                  a KVM switch, letting you share your keyboard, video, and
                  mouse between two computers.
                  Plus, it provides dual-monitor
                  outputs, so you can add two extra displays to your
                  workstation, and then share them with each laptop.
                  This dock eliminates the
                  frustrations of working with multiple computers. You can save
                  money and desk space by using the same peripheral set with
                  each computer, plus you can easily transfer files between your
                  two laptops. It�s a simple yet ultra-efficient method
                  for working with more than one laptop.
                  The dual-monitor KVM dock
                  supports Windows� or Mac laptops, or a combination of both.
                  And for a faster workflow and additional convenience, this
                  specialty docking station lets you share and exchange data
                  between your two computers.
                  
                  It's perfect for a range of
                  users such as professionals and office workers with multiple
                  laptops, students, and IT technicians. It�s ideal for
                  collaboration in classrooms, labs, and boardrooms, as well as
                  many other specialized applications.
                  Shared docking revolutionizes
                  the way you work
                  This cutting-edge docking
                  station is designed for users with multiple laptops or Windows
                  based tablets. Like a KVM switch, it lets you share your
                  peripherals between two computers, with the added benefit of
                  offering extra monitor connections. With shared docking you
                  can get more work done in less time and avoid the nuisance of
                  plugging and unplugging your laptops while you�re using them
                  both at your workstation.
                  When you�re in a hurry,
                  switching control to either computer is effortless using the
                  switch button that�s conveniently located on the side of the
                  dock.
                  
                  You can create a dual-monitor
                  workstation that connects with two laptops if you have
                  DisplayPort� and HDMI� displays, making it easy to display
                  applications or browsers from either laptop. Alternatively the
                  dock supports a single 4K DP monitor, for 4K x 2K (3840 x
                  2160p - 30Hz) cinema-quality resolution and vivid picture
                  quality.

                  Plenty of ports gives you
                  everything you need
                  In addition to connecting two
                  laptops, this full-featured KVM dock lets you connect up to
                  nine peripherals, and provides all the ports you need. And,
                  with five USB 3.0 ports you can connect more USB devices than
                  most docking stations allow. Plus, every port can be easily
                  shared between each connected laptop.
                  It�s easy to charge your
                  mobile device quickly using the always-on fast-charge port.
                  With several USB 3.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet, and a headset
                  jack, you can connect multiple peripherals and control them
                  from either laptop.
                  Unlike some docks, this
                  easy-to-use docking station offers seamless, error-free driver
                  installation which makes it easy to create a dynamic and
                  high-performance workstation.
                  
                  Direct file sharing between
                  laptops makes life easier
                  For an uninterrupted workflow
                  and streamlined convenience this dock integrates file sharing
                  capabilities. Laptop-to-laptop file sharing is faster, more
                  secure, and easier to use than cloud or external storage
                  solutions, plus, you can skip the aggravation of configuring
                  your network to support file sharing.
                  Using Windows Easy Transfer, or
                  the included PCLinq software, you can easily create files and
                  presentations on your primary laptop, and quickly transfer
                  them to your portable Ultrabook�, MacBook, or tablet. Plus,
                  with two laptops connected to just one dock, the file sharing
                  dock makes it easy to collaborate with colleagues or
                  classmates.
                  
                  The built-in file transfer
                  software is easy to use and data transfers are lightning
                  quick, using USB 3.0 technology. (USB 3.0 is also known as USB
                  3.1 Gen 1 - 5Gbps.)
                  The unique file exchange
                  technology creates endless application possibilities, and the
                  dock especially caters to developers, as well as network and
                  systems administrators.
                  
                  The USB3DDOCKFT is backed by a
                  StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical
                  support.
                  Note: PCLinq can be used in
                  any operating system that the dock supports. Windows Easy
                  Transfer can only be used in Windows 8.1, 8, and 7.

                        The
                        ability to use both Mac and Windows laptops together is
                        another great bonus that will go over especially well in
                        mixed-platform homes and businesses.
