Thank you for your reply,

I know that the UX501vw is not in the list of compatible laptops.

But I'm confused, isn't thunderbolt 3 supposed to be some kind of a standard ?

I'm aware that the UX501vw is an old model and that some limitations are to be expected.

The question is if Simpro Dock 2 is not supposed to work at all with the UX501vw or how severe the limitations are.

But if Simpro Dock 2 has a serious hardware dependency on the specific supported models .....

That would be a pity because, on the paper, Simpro Dock 2 is a terrific docking station, it could easily compete with all TB3 docking stations costing almost twice the price.

Thanks again,

Best,

Rocky.

I understand your concerns. But since it is not in the compatibility list, it may not be able to fully perform its functions, for example: OSD may not work properly.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused and your valuable advice will be included in future design and optimization considerations. Thank you.
