Will this work with the Sony Vaio Pro 13 Win 8 with two USB 3.0 ports? I know it SHOULD, but my AOC monitor doesn't and they seem similar.

Sorry. I do not know. My laptop is also Lenovo with Win 8. I tried it for you. It works for Win 8. To be honest, I do not suggest you buy it.The quality is poor. I bought it because my girlfriend wanted one to work with her thinkpad. The color is not better than AOC and Toshiba. One has high frequency noise and I returned it. I suggest you look for drive to run your AOC. If it does not work, buy Toshiba. I use it. The color and convenience are better than Lenovo.

If your referring to AOC usb-powered monitor (AOC E1649FWU) it may be a driver issues. Try downloading the drivers from their website http://us.aoc.com/support/downloads/driver/174 and see if it works. You can also try the AOC on another computer and see if it works that way you will know if your AOC is the problem. Just to clarify make sure you diagnosis your problem running these monitors as a 2nd monitor (Not ideal for primary monitor). Your Win 8 needs to actually be loaded for the monitor to properly function.

I've used it in 1.1 and 2.0 ports, and it works on both. I can't remember whether I tried it on my laptop, which only has 3.0 ports. Since you don't really transfer data through a keyboard or mouse, I can't imagine that they'd build this thing with the higher speed capabilities of 2.0 or 3.0.I just saw your latest comment and realized how unhelpful my answer was.

I have not tried it on a Sony, but I have tried on HP and Toshiba. my operating systems are Windows 8 and Vista and it works fine. Both on USB 2 and 3. USB3 is better, but USB2 works too. I have been very satisfied so far. My previous computer was a HP with a factory HP docking station, and it works equally as good. I have had the belkin universal type before and they did not work good at all. John

Yes it works great with Windows 7; but the real question is does your motherboard have an X1 slot? I bought the Apricorn Velocity Solo X1 so that I could mount Samsung840Pro 256GBSSD on a card vs having it float around in the computer case. As far as I know the usb 3. Q is not a relevant question.

Hi Jessica, sorry for the late reply. It appears it does work with Win8. So you should definitely get one.

I needed a card that would support three monitors, this one fit the bill. It works great with Windows 7 and Vista, I've installed them in two different machines. I can't imagine why it would not work with Windows 8.

I do not know if it works on Windows 7, 64 bit computers since I do not have such.However, I have Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit and it works just perfect.Nothing to do. Just connected it on a USB 3 port of the new Sony Vaio. Worked just perfect.Also used it to play DVD movie after dowloading Roxio to this new computer since this new computer does not have an optical drive.

I used a very old sony vaio and it worked very well. Do not forget to remove the jumper for the pc to boot.

Did you ever get an answer. I'm shopping for a new monitor and I really like what I have read so far except for one review that said it better with VISTA. I'm a true believe in XP, so if it doesn't work with XP, it don't need it. I would like your opinion if you are asking this question. What else other than price do you like about this monitor. I can't fnd anything about a USB port and is that really necessary. JimSpring, TX

I owned it and it worked on my Sony Vaio running windows 7 64 bit. Hope this helps , its a great keyboard , a tip , mine broke from it falling onto the side the usb port was on while plugged it , it knocked the usb input of the chip. so as far as construction, if you dont have any kids running around you should be fine :)

yes, i'm using it with win. 8.1 pro, just don't try the driver that comes with it, it's out of date download new one from the web site.

i got it to work with win8.1 64 bit , which is a feat in and of itself ,. but if you have gone thru 2 cables already, are you sure you are not missing something ? have you tried the other cables with a different pc altogether .?

Yes it sure will! I use this with a Mac, HP, Sony Vaio, all kinds of computer. From vista, windows 7, windows 8, Lion, and Tiger as well.

Only tried once immediately when I received it, and it worked as advertised with my new Lenovo W550s laptop PC (Windows 8.1). The laptop's port is specifically designated as a "Mini Display v1.2". Therefore, those definitively saying that it will not work with a Microsoft based PC do not know what they are talking about.

I just bought the AOC. And, after reviewing the Q&A;, I bought the Anker 60W in order to support 3 screens. And, the AOC is still not working when I have another external monitor. The AOC screen is not full size unless I disconnect the other external monitor from my laptop.

I tried to install it on a Win 8.1 laptop, but the software/driver installation clearly stated that it didn't support "this operating system" and that I needed to downloaded a different driver from AOC's web site. Well, there's only one Windows driver at AOC.com and it's the same one that's on the CD. So, it's a big fat NO for Windows 8.1. (We do use these at work with Windows 7 no problem.)
