THUNDERBOLT 4 DOCKS

The latest generation of Macs offers Thunderbolt 4 ports with blazing fast 40 gigabits per second transfer speeds, faster than many hard drives can read or write! These ports are perfect for hubs and docks. With a good dock, you can place your laptop on your desk, then hook up your monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, printer, and whatever else you want, all with a single cable plug. Banish all the cable clutter and make disconnecting from your desk a breeze!

CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt 4 Hub ($379.99)

If you want the best Thunderbolt 4 dock on the market, this is it. Construction is robust, electronics are silent and effective, and it offers the most ports of any hub we tested. On top of its two Thunderbolt 4, three USB-C, five USB-A (all at 10 Gb/s), a Display port, SD, and Micro-SD card readers, it’s alone in offering a 2.5 GbE Ethernet port. Truly, this is the dock to unleash the power of your Thunderbolt 4 port.

CalDigit Element Hub ($249.99)

This is the cheapest Thunderbolt 4 hub we tested, but it’s still a solidly built little device that looks great as it moves all the ugly peripheral cables out of sight. If you don’t need an Ethernet port but still want to take advantage of the Thunderbolt 4’s awesome speeds, then this is your best choice.

Also Tested:

• Razer Thunderbolt 4 Dock Mercury ($319.99) - Beautiful minimalist design and RGB lighting.

• Kensington SD5700T Thunderbolt™ 4 ($369.99) - Better cable management and look than the CalDigit options.
