Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £90.74 ex-VAT, the Targus DOCK116GLZ is a sensible “workhorse” dock for people who want a straightforward USB‑C single-cable setup without spending bigger money. In day-to-day office use it typically does the job: you plug it in and get your ports working reliably for peripherals, monitors, and charging/desk tidy. The wired USB‑C angle (rather than some fancier dock ecosystem) usually means fewer moving parts and less faffing when you swap between home/office—good if you’re not trying to run a whole command centre of exotic add-ons.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you’re the type who relies on lots of high-performance multi-monitor setups or you’ve got very specific docking requirements (certain screen resolutions/refresh rates, particular USB devices, or tight IT-managed driver policies). With docks in this price band, the “it works” experience is great, but the edge cases are where people get frustrated—especially if you’re expecting workstation-level graphics behaviour. If your needs are basic-to-solid—standard monitors, office peripherals, reliable connectivity—this is good value. If you need maximum flexibility under the most demanding display/USB scenarios, spend time validating your exact monitor setup first (or consider a higher-tier dock).
