Anker 675 USB-C Docking Station (2022)
The Anker 675 is a 12-in-1 USB-C docking station built into a monitor stand, with an integrated 10W Qi wireless charging pad on top — a space-saving combination uncommon in the dock category. It connects to your laptop via a single USB-C cable and delivers 100W of power back, sufficient for most thin-and-light laptops. Video is limited to a single HDMI output at 4K@60Hz — there is no DisplayPort and the downstream USB-C ports do not carry video signals. The SD and MicroSD card slots and Gigabit Ethernet round out a capable connectivity hub for creative and office workflows.
Belkin CONNECT Pro Thunderbolt 4 Dock (2022)
The Belkin CONNECT Pro Thunderbolt 4 Dock (INC006) is a 12-port Thunderbolt 4 dock with an unusual dual-HDMI configuration, offering two HDMI 2.0 outputs alongside a downstream Thunderbolt 4 port for up to three simultaneous displays. At 90W of PD passthrough, it charges most 14-inch and 16-inch laptops at full speed. The front panel hosts a 3.5mm TRRS audio combo jack and an SD card reader for quick access. Four USB-A ports (2x Gen 1 + 2x USB 2.0) and a USB-C Gen 2 port with PD 3.0 complete the downstream connectivity.
CalDigit TS3 Plus Thunderbolt 3 Dock (2018)
The CalDigit TS3 Plus is a 15-port Thunderbolt 3 docking station that charges your laptop at up to 87W while expanding to a complete desktop setup from a single cable. A key connectivity strength is its dedicated DisplayPort 1.2 output alongside the Thunderbolt 3 port, enabling two 4K displays simultaneously without adapters. On the front you'll find a UHS-II SD card reader, USB-C Gen 1 port, and separate analog audio in/out jacks — useful for studio setups. The rear USB-C Gen 2 port (10 Gbps) is data-only with no power delivery, so plan accordingly for bus-powered devices.
CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt 4 Dock (2022)
The CalDigit TS4 is an 18-port Thunderbolt 4 docking station that delivers the most ports of any Thunderbolt dock, including three Thunderbolt 4 ports, five USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, and three USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports. A built-in DisplayPort 1.4 output and two downstream Thunderbolt 4 ports support up to 8K at 30Hz on a single display or dual 6K at 60Hz. The dock provides up to 98W power delivery to the connected host laptop. Dual UHS-II card readers — one full-size SD and one microSD — sit on the front panel for fast media access.
Dell Performance Dock WD19DCS (2021)
The Dell Performance Dock WD19DCS is a high-power USB-C docking station that uses a unique dual-cable design — two integrated USB-C cables connect simultaneously to the laptop to deliver an unprecedented 210W of total power delivery. This extra headroom makes it ideal for power-hungry mobile workstations that need both high wattage charging and full-bandwidth data transfer. It supports up to three 4K displays via its two DisplayPort 1.4 ports and one HDMI 2.0 port, with the multifunction USB-C port adding a fourth video option. Note there is no audio jack on this dock — audio must route through the laptop.
Dell Thunderbolt Dock WD22TB4 (2022)
The Dell Thunderbolt Dock WD22TB4 is a 13-port Thunderbolt 4 dock designed primarily for Dell laptops, delivering up to 130W of power — though non-Dell systems are limited to 90W. It supports up to three displays via its two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs and one HDMI 2.0 output, with the multifunction USB-C port adding a fourth video path when not used for data. A subtle limitation is that the HDMI and the multifunction USB-C DisplayPort port cannot both be used as displays simultaneously. Three USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) ports and a Gigabit Ethernet port round out the rear panel.
Kensington SD5780T Thunderbolt 4 Dock (2022)
The Kensington SD5780T is an 11-port Thunderbolt 4 dock with a notable specification advantage: HDMI 2.1 output (capable of 4K@120Hz and VRR) and 2.5 Gbps Ethernet — both uncommon on docks at launch. It provides 96W of power to the laptop and has three Thunderbolt 4 ports total for flexible peripheral and display expansion. The UHS-II SD card reader and front-panel USB-A charging port (5V/1.5A) add everyday convenience. Note that MacBooks with Apple's base M-series chips (non-Pro/Max) are limited to a single external display through this dock regardless of port count.
Lenovo ThinkPad Universal Thunderbolt 4 Dock (2021)
The Lenovo ThinkPad Universal Thunderbolt 4 Dock is a business-grade Thunderbolt 4 dock delivering 100W of charging and supporting up to four simultaneous displays — an unusually high display count for a single-cable dock. It achieves this via two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs, one HDMI port, and one downstream Thunderbolt 4 port that can drive a fourth display via daisy chain. The four downstream USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) ports are faster than the Gen 1 ports found on many competing docks. Note: some retailers list the HDMI as 1.4 while others list 2.1 — confirm with the official Lenovo datasheet for your specific unit.
Nintendo Switch 2 Dock (2025)
Nintendo's newest Switch dock supports USB-C Power Delivery charging at the base while the console docks magnetically into an integrated DisplayPort Alt Mode connector. The full 1080p docking output requires only USB-C bandwidth, leaving all other ports free for peripherals—a major jump from the original's proprietary connector. Downstream USB-A slots provide Joy-Con charging, and the Ethernet port adds wired LAN stability. Here's every port and the cables you'll need.
Nintendo Switch Dock (Original, 2017)
Nintendo's Switch dock uses a proprietary connector hardwired to USB-C for charging while outputting 1080p via separate HDMI 2.0 to any TV. The integrated USB 3.0 port on back powers additional Joy-Con charging or local multiplayer accessories, and standard HDMI makes any TV compatible. The dock itself draws power from a separate AC adapter, so USB-C charging works independently from video. Below is the complete port list.
Nintendo Switch OLED Dock (2021)
Nintendo's Switch dock uses a proprietary connector hardwired to USB-C for charging while outputting 1080p via separate HDMI 2.0 to any TV. The integrated USB 3.0 port on back powers additional Joy-Con charging or local multiplayer accessories, and standard HDMI makes any TV compatible. The dock itself draws power from a separate AC adapter, so USB-C charging works independently from video. Below is the complete port list.
OWC 11-Port Thunderbolt 4 Dock (2021)
The OWC 11-Port Thunderbolt 4 Dock (OWCTB4DOCK) is a compact Thunderbolt 4 dock with an unusually large downstream Thunderbolt 4 port count — three TB4 ports for peripherals or display expansion alongside the host connection. It delivers 96W of charging to the connected laptop and supports single 8K, dual 5K, or dual 4K display configurations. The front-panel UHS-II SD card reader hits 312 MB/s and a 3.5mm audio combo jack handles both input and output. The four USB ports (3x USB-A Gen 2 + 1x USB-A 2.0) offer wide compatibility, though there are no dedicated HDMI or DisplayPort outputs — video requires a Thunderbolt or USB-C to display adapter.
Plugable TBT4-UDX1 Thunderbolt 4 Dock (2023)
The Plugable TBT4-UDX1 is a Thunderbolt 4 dock that prioritizes bandwidth flexibility — three Thunderbolt 4 ports, 100W laptop charging, and 2.5 Gbps Ethernet in a compact form factor. The single built-in HDMI 2.0 port supports one display up to 4K@60Hz, while the included USB-C to HDMI adapter enables a second display via one of the downstream Thunderbolt ports. A front-panel UHS-II SD card reader (SD 4.0, up to 312 MB/s) and a 3.5mm headset combo jack round out everyday connectivity. Four USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports running at 10 Gbps make this dock well-suited for fast external drives and USB peripherals.
