This 12-in-1 Thunderbolt 4 dock runs 40Gbps upstream and charges a laptop at up to 100W, with dedicated video outputs so you don't burn USB-C ports on displays. It offers one HDMI 2.1 (up to 8K) and two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs plus a downstream Thunderbolt 4 port, letting you drive up to four monitors. Data ports include two 30W USB-C (10Gb/s), two USB-A at 5Gb/s, and two USB-A at 480Mb/s, alongside Gigabit Ethernet. Note it is not compatible with M1/M2 MacBooks or ASUS laptops with AMD CPUs.
