Amazon Basics Thunderbolt 4 Pro Docking Station, Dual 4K Monitor Support, 8K Display, 2xTBT4, 1xHDMI2.1, 3xUSB A 3.1, RJ45 Ethernet, Black, 7.86 x 2.95 x 1.23 inches

When I look for things to plug into an outlet and then into my equipment, I'm checking for a few things, but mainly power supplies because a lot of manufacturers skimp on these, and that's just not right. So I'll start with the power supply that comes with this unit, which is a big, beefy and heavy power supply made by Chicony, Model A18-135P1B, which is grounded, well-made and is UL and CE Listed. These things do matter to me. While it's long and wide, it's actually quite narrow and mounts under a desk very nicely. The dock itself is also very well-made and reminds me of any number of other higher-end units on the market in both size, shape, design and features. it has all of the ports I need (three USB-C/ThunderBolt 4 ports, one on the front to connect to your computer and two on the rear), three USB-A ports, again one on the front, one on the back, an Ethernet port, one HDMI port and a headphone jack. If you need more than this, hubs will always work, but so far I've been satisfied. Connected to my MacBook Pro M4 Pro, I get every ounce of speed and performance I expected with an external thunderbolt 4 drive, the audio works great passed-through, although I use a 3rd-party amp plugged into it's USB port and have noticed no issues at all. It's featureful enough to satisfy my needs, compact enough to fit under my laptop stand, and inexpensive enough to have me still scratching my head. I can't recommend it enough. If you're worried about spending too much on the flagship products, getting a dock that fits on your desk, but also worry about plugging something cheap into your valuable equipment, this is the dock for you. Great fit and finish all around, wonderful quality and attention to safety details like the outstanding power supply convinced me.

This is a great docking station! It has a durable metal casing, with just the right amount of ports, and a good compact size. I decided to try it out given that the competitors and "name brands" are charging around 2-3x the cost for a simple thunderbolt docks. I have been shopping a long time, and everything I was looking at was either incompatible, expensive, provided the wrong ports for my needs, or was too bulky. When I just wanted simple function. I have a MacBook Pro with a M3 Pro chip, and I'm generally happy with it, but it does not support MST and daisy-chaining. So, I have been looking for a good thunderbolt docking station that would allow me to upstream charge my laptop, and at least two downstream ports to cast my dual-monitor setup. I also thought it would be a bonus if I could attach my mechanical keyboard to a USB-A port, if available. When I came across this, it seemed like a perfect docking station to hook my entire desktop setup to, so I could easily connect my laptop and have it come to life. I have done heavy work if it is writing and debugging code, editing large files for photography projects, running VMs, etc. I have not yet run into any connectivity, speed, or quality issues while using this dock. I was very happy that it is so compatible with MacOS. Reading the many reviews on the competitors, they either didn't support every OS or it was grainy and slower with MacOS. I switch between my MacBook, or my dual-boot Lenovo with Windows and Linux. I will be testing with the Lenovo soon, to see the compatibility with all OS. I am so far very happy with the compatibility and simple yet high quality product. TLDR: If you want a simple docking station with a good performance at a reasonable cost, I would highly recommend getting this one!

Solid Dock with plenty of ports and great functionality; it's partially compatible with my Lenovo ThinkBook G7 (Ryzen 5), and I expect to be fully compatible in the near future, as the missing piece is purely software-related. If the blue led start blinking and the dock seems to be disconnecting and reconnecting, just make sure that your system is up to date (Drivers included) and that you connect your power adapter first, then you can connect the dock, without having to negotiate power delivery, the dock is going to start working and be fully functional; the only downside is that you need to keep your power adapter connected. For the network adapter to reach the full speed, download the latest driver for Realtek Gaming USB 2.5GbE (Realtek 8156 controller), and you should be able to reach 2.3 GbE easily.

I highly suspect that many people experiencing trouble with this dock have inadequate cables. Purchase the correct (quality) cables and this dock works. I extend dual monitors through one USB port in my MacBook Pro M1. Right now, the dock is connected to my MacBook through one usb c port. It is charging my MacBook quickly. From the dock out, I am running two USB C to display port cables to both my monitors as well as an external drive (usb a) and a USB keyboard. Both monitors are 4k ips and are running at 60hz. This dock works if you have quality cables. It will not work (as won’t most other docks) with cheap hdmi cables that come in the box with monitors/etc as they are not rated for this use case. Everything is working perfectly. UPDATE: I want to add that BOTH monitors are IPS 4K and are running 4k at 60Hz, because other reviews are saying this is impossible. I wonder if this is a hardware issue with cheap cables or their computer, but it is working perfectly well for me.

Very straight forward plug in and play. Works amazing with Macbook M3

This dock is pretty affordable as far as Thunderbolt 4 docks go, so I didn't necessarily expect the best build quality. Turns out it's surprisingly sturdy, looks great in person and works just as advertised. Recommended.

I spent a lot of time reseraching for a good dock at a reasonable price. I have a Surface Pro 9 Intel with a 32 inch screen hoked up to TP-Link Devo BE65 network and a WD MyCloud NAS, plus various devices connected through USB. I was using my monitor built-in USB hub as a downstreem conection to my SP9. It worked well but had various issues including causing issues with waking up my monitor when connecting my SP9, and a speed bottleneck created by the USB-network cable adapter. When I received the Amazon Basics dock, I plugged it in and cennected it using the supplied cable to the thunderbolt port on my SP9. I used my existing Thunderbolt cable to connect the new dock to my monitor's downstream port, and connected the network cable (all Cat6) and my outboard USB hub, and instantly, everything worked. My monitor waking up issue disappeared and the speed from the the laptop to the network increased substantially. Next up is a new SSD upgrade for my SP9 to increase the speed of moving files, and upping the speed of my internet service to gigabit speed. Amazon Basics thunderbolydock was a great investment.

Used for nearly a month and it's been solid. Can't comment on the quality of video because I'm not technical, but everything is working as intended. No heating issue whenever I touch. I love that it's compact; have hid it behind my monitor. My only complaint is that the TBT4 cable that comes with it is very short. ~0.5 meters in length? Recommend buying a longer one or a USB-C extension cable with specs that match what you need.

I've been looking for a basic Thunderbolt 4 hub for a while now. Turns out they're pretty hard to find. Most are loaded with card slots, ethernet ports, HDMI & DisplayPort ports, etc., etc... I just needed a few TB4 ports and maybe a USB-A port. Recently stumbled across this Amazon Basics TB4 hub and wasn't sure what to expect (Amz Basics stuff is very hit-and-miss). I managed to find a Warehouse deal that was too good to pass up. So. I got it. I installed it on my Mac mini M4. It works. Perfectly. It is EXACTLY what I was looking for. It's fast - I am running a 5k TB monitor through it, as well as a 5GB Ethernet adapter and an external USB-C SSD. Everything is working at its full speed with no hiccups whatsoever. It came with a TB4 cable that is actually TB4. Whats not to love. If you need a basic TB4 hub get this one. Job done.
