CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt 4 Dock

$399

Next, the CalDigit TS4 dock, which lives under my new desk, is the best dock I’ve ever used. I’ve used the previous generation TS3 Plus for years now, and the new TS4 blows it out of the water. When I plug the laptop into the dock, I’ve essentially got an insane 18 ports of additional connectivity. And that is a lot of different options and ports to use. To give you an idea, this dock has 8K display support, 98-watt charging, DisplayPort 1.4, and even a microSD card slot, which has actually come in handy. This dock has almost every port required in a single package, and there’s good reason why it’s known as the king of Thunderbolt docks. It was sold out in the first few waves of shipment. It was actually pretty hard to get my hands on this dock. And just be prepared as well for the price tag of $380. Yeah, it’s not cheap, but it’s been a worthy investment.

• 18 Ports of Extreme Connectivity - Featuring an impressive 18 ports, the TS4 has enough connectivity for even the most demanding of workflows. This includes a built-in DisplayPort 1.4 connector, a total of 8x USB ports with full 10Gb/s performance, SD & microSD 4.0 UHS-II Card Readers, 3x Thunderbolt 4 (40Gb/s) ports, 3x Audio ports, 2.5GbE, and a security slot.

• Powerful 98W Charging - The TS4’s power delivery is ideal for any Thunderbolt or USB-C host device, including larger screen laptops that require more power. A single cable will charge your laptop and connect 18 devices at the same time.

• Single 8K or Dual 6K 60Hz Displays - Windows users can connect a single monitor up to 8K resolution. macOS users can connect a single display up to 6K 60Hz. For anyone looking to add dual displays, Windows users can connect up to dual 4K 60Hz monitors. Users on M1 Pro & M1 Max can connect up to dual 6K 60Hz displays, whilst users on Intel based Macs can connect up to dual 4K 60Hz displays. Users on original M1 Macs are limited to a single display only.

• 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet - The TS4’s 2.5GbE port is 2.5X faster than standard 1GbE, allowing users to connect to faster networks, routers, and NAS devices. This powerful Ethernet port is fully backwards compatible with 1GbE devices. 2.5GbE performance requires a Thunderbolt host connection and 2.5GbE compatible devices or above.

• Universally Compatible - The TS4 works with Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB4, and USB-C computers, including Apple M2, M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra, Intel based Macs, Windows PCs, and Chrome OS devices. It is also compatible with tablets including iPads and Windows tablets that feature Thunderbolt or USB-C.
