Don't buy it for a Dell XPS 10

The first day I got it I put it on my Dell XPS 10. I noticed that the straps were too small and they over stretch. Well the straps only lasted two hours and they started to rip. I was really upset because the cover was nice but the straps were really cheap.

This laptop with Windows 10 has been problematic since I bought it. The WiFi connection is intermittent and has a very short range. I called tech support and changed settings, drivers, and even had to type commands at the command prompt (DOS commands). I even went so far as to have to reset to factory setting and start all over. There are many complaints in different blogs about this same problem but Dell still hasn't been able to help me totally fix this problem! I have owned may Dell computers over the years, but this has been my worst experience with any computer. If Dell is going to support MS Windows 10, they need to make sure it works effectively out of the box, or at least be able to  help troubleshoot it more effectively.

This item does not work. I installed it in my Dell XPS8700 desktop and it can't be detected by either Windows 8 or 10. This is a Chinese company that does not seem to have an easy way from their website to interact with customers overseas. I would avoid this card and look at other options.

I purchased this hub to use with my new Dell XPS 13 (9370) and the charging port does not work with this machine. The HDMI and other USB ports functioned properly, but when plugging in my Dell charger to this hub, I receive a message about an under-powered charger being used and a yellow exclamation sign in the task bar area over the battery icon. It appeared that the laptop may have been charging, just slowly, but I had purchased another hub that was not giving as much fuss with charging, so decided to send this one back. Again, the HDMI and USB port (had my Logitech unifying receiver plugged into it) functioned properly, just had issues with the charging port.

I agree with Chris regarding Dell support. I am 62, male and not a genius w/computers. I read 90% of reviews, most by IT Pros that sounded great. Beware of this when reading 5 star reviews. Go to the Dell site and read what Dell buyers are saying about problems and support. My Dell came loaded w/Windows 7 along w/disk for 8. As soon as I went to Dells' site to reg. for warranty, I was flooded, flooded with software not needed nor wanted. Too late!! PUPs everywhere. Dell support is zero when buying thru reseller. I have trouble w/ software, bloatware and drivers. No support. So if you are an IT Pro--good price. You will know what to do ridding computer of unwanted material or fixing a problem. If you are semi-geek [me] bypass Dell. Read Dell's support page--SAD!!!
On second thought--should be 2 stars but I will keep 3 so people will understand beware what you read from the 5 star reviews. They do add something but go to Dell support and see for yourself what other people who buy desktops and only want Windows 7.
UPDATE-7/21/2015- 6 mos and I would NOT buy another product from Dell due to support changes daily!!!

I tried but no response from DELL with this card. Do not buy this card if you have a DELL

I'm returning since I bought it as a traveling companion for a Windows 8 Pro Dell 10 tablet.
According to Displaylink they support Windows 8, but (at least for the Dell 10) the driver will not work. It gives a "not functional on this operating system" error.  That's a shame.  I do not need it for Windows 7 (I have other Displaylink type devices for that) and had hopes it would work on the Dell with the updated drivers.  I have, up until now, been very happy with Displaylink devices, esp. the new USB 3.0 devices.
So, if you are looking for Windows 8 Pro support be warned.  Also, it used to be you could see and download the Displaylink beta drivers but I could not find those either on the web site or via Google.
Plus: Nice lightweight construction, robust cord with Y adapter, and professional looking.  The light weight really does make it a carry companion. It has a slip-on plastic cover for the screen.  East to insert in backpack or bag.
Negative: No driver for Windows 8 Pro that is reliable or functional in all cases.
Double Negative: Very, very difficult to find any help from Lenovo.  One would think they would want to support this thing.
Suggestion to Displaylink: Get some useful data up on the web site and a reliable way for folks to request assistance.  Lenovo is useless it comes to support.  Forums are a joke.
Suggestion to Lenovo: Support your products.

The concept of this device is great, however if you can't install it in your PC it's worthless.  I am not an expert with installation, but I have added and replaced hard drives , dvd drives, sound cards etc.  My last chance will be with an experienced PC repair tech.  My PC is a new Dell XPS 8500. I don't know if the problem is with Dell or this card.  All I know is that it doesn't fit the way it should.  I'll update this review after I have exhausted all attempts.

I had one of these for my older Dell desktop operating Windows XP. Lost it while moving. Ordered this one as replacement. Husband gave away computer and monitor to charity without my knowledge. Now I have no use for this item. However, if it is as good as the missing one, it is terrific for XP. I paid $13.99 on Amazon to purchase but would cost at least $8.06 to return so I will try to sell elsewhere...or will donate to charity.

In the past six months I have bought and tested the Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga (2013 and 2014 models), the MacBook Pro (2014 fully loaded), the Dell XPS 15 (Fully Loaded) and the New Dell XPS 13 (revered in CES this year as best computer in life-EVER).  Both the XPS 15 and 13 had so many technical problems, that I returned them within a week.  They just didn't work.  I took a lot of flak in other reviews for stating the problems I had.  I contacted Dell on both of them and Dell offered no advice or support.  The Mac was great, but on the verge of being outdated and I wasn't happy about dropping about 2500 just for the computer and then another 600-800 for software.  And too be honest, I have had many problems with the new MAC OS, as well as, problems with MACs mobile devices lately.  This has caused me worry enough to make me think about buying another MAC for that kind of money.

I like this little XPS 12laptop a lot.  Although it only has two USB ports and not very much power.  So its not very versatile for me in my personal or working life.  Meaning it doesn't really support activities I want to do in either...However, I like the size of this device.  I also like the flip screen, but it is built very weakly and I am afraid it will break so I don't use it much. I bought a new mac around the same time I got this (which was April 26).  But I returned the MAC because I liked the overall design and feel of this laptop.  Now I kinda wish I had kept it the mac, because then I would have had a computer that would have supported my requirement both professionally and personally. For the most part it performs as expected, except that I am starting to have some developing issues.  It doesn't recognize its own Dell AC adapter.  A little message pops up at boot and says it doesn't recognize the adapter and will not charge.  Also the screen doesn't turn on when I power it up.  It just stays black.  I have to click the power button several times to get it on.  Finally, it says this device has bluetooth, but it doesn't work with any of my bluetooth devices.  I bought this from Best Buy, which I thought would be better since they are local...but they actually will not deal with it as they sold it through me from a 3rd party.

Description says it works on a Dell XPS L502x, I tried 2 different batteries and neither worked in mine.

I purchased a new laptop at a local store (mistake #1), as with most new computers it came with Vista (mistake #2). Unfortunately the "Windows" applications I need to run were not compatible with "Windows Vista". I spent quite a few hours with the not so wonderful tech support teams from the laptop vendor and the application vendors to find this out. When I took the computer back to the store for a refund I was hassled, there solution was for me to buy new versions of my applications or buy a copy of Windows XP and reload the new machine. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to pay Microsoft a second time for a Windows operating system because the preloaded Windows operating system is not compatible with my existing applications. Let me see $1,500 for a new laptop or $18,000+ for new applications, not a tough choice. So my solution was to purchase the fastest computer I could find with Windows XP preloaded.

So far I've been using this unit for 3 weeks and it works very well acting as a replacement for a desktop.

I bought the 512k/no fan card to replace a failing ATI Radeon HD 2600 display card that was original on a Dell 530S desktop running a fully updated version of Win XP.  I don't do gaming or other display intensive things -- just browse web sites and so on.

The card comes with a disk of obsolete drivers; up-to-date ones are available at the support web site.  There's no information on the box and no manual or other documentation inside -- not even a 'quick start guide.'

Some of what follows may apply only to computers like mine (Dell 530s with HD 2600 graphic card originally installed).

The card seems to work fine using the already-installed ATI graphic driver, at least as nearly as I can tell in a couple of days.  I spent about ten hours trying to install the NVIDA software for the GeForce 8400  but never got anything better from it than a mostly black screen with green and red features.  You can read some of it.  The usual arrow cursor displays as a 3/4" square with red 'dirt' on it.  Hint: The active part is at the top, near the left.

BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL THIS CARD BECOME FAMILIAR WITH WINDOWS SYSTEM RESTORE.  If you have to use it you may be working with a trashed screen and it'll be easier if you know how it works.

This card actually has five devices: The graphic display driver and four audio drivers.  When you install the card and bring up XP it will lecture you about the five new devices that you need to install drivers for but it has no clue WHAT drivers and will not be able to find them.  You just cancel those messages.

IF YOU KEEP THE CARD you will get the same messages every time XP restarts.  To stop that go to 'System' -- 'Hardware' -- 'Device Manager' and locate a block of five 'unknown' devices, one of them labeled as a graphic driver.  Right click and 'disable' each in turn. That will stop the messages and XP will continue using new card with the HD 2600 drivers and the audio drivers and hardware on your machine.

Basically the GeForce card seems to be fine on XP but -- I think -- the NVIDA software for it does not support XP.  I don't know what useful features that software might have or if there might be oddities I haven't discovered.  I am using the card every day though -- it's on this machine -- so I'll find out!

I have used ONLY the VGA output.  When I plugged the monitor into the DVI jack using an adapter just now it said 'no signal' but it might work if I restarted.  I would have great doubt about the HDMI output since the HD 2600 does not have that function.

IF SOMEONE KNOWS A WAY TO INSTALL THE PROPER SOFTWARE, PLEASE REPLY TO THIS REVIEW!

Customer support was excellent considering that none of them had anything beyond generic advice which didn't fix the problem.  However I don't think well of manufacturers who don't document their products clearly, including what it won't do, necessary work-arounds, and so on.  The only reason it got two stars rather than one is that the card does work -- I am using it.  But what a colossal waste of time.

Stay away.  Windows 10 Pro does not work.  Dell Technical Support is awful.

I have a Dell XPS computer and it had only USB ports.  I also have a JVC MiniDV video camera.  The USB ports do not work for this camera.  You need a firewire connection.  Dell sent me the wrong firewire card. I returned that card and ordered this one.  It was plug-and-play.  I didn't need to connect any power to the card.  I can now capture MiniDV video on my Dell XPS!

I don't review much much I will alert people of faulty products. Do not purchase the dual adapter. it connects and disconnects over and over. The chiming never stops. I've tried all the fixes post, but nothing. I have tried to post my problem on the Dell display port forums, but there's been no reply to my posts or those with similar problems.

Item is not what is pictured and does not properly fit laptop.  There are two styles where the hold down screw goes and this one is flush and not offset which my Dell XPS 15 (L502X) laptop requires.  I fault the vendor for not distinguishing this major difference because you will be forced to modify your motherboard to accommodate this piece.  The proper part is a DP/N:XFT6Y QP//N:DDGM6BPB000.  Beware of getting a part that only has two zero's at the end if you need an offset power connector.  Also, you need to open the laptop up and inspect the part to find out.  There are two YouTube video that will walk you through the process with one in English and the other in Russian.  Both are excellent and I highly recommend.  I will give the vendor credit for the item being fairly priced and shipped fast.
Sincerely,
Michael M.
