Plugable 16-in-1 Thunderbolt 4 Dock with 100W Charging, 4K Quad Monitor Setup for Thunderbolt 4 Windows Laptops, Thunderbolt Certified Dock with 2X HDMI, 2X DisplayPort, 2.5G Ethernet, 7X USB, SD

I bought this to dock a new gaming notebook to the two monitors, keyboard, mouse, speakers, mic, webcam, and other assorted odds and ends at my working desk. All of that is shared with a work notebook which has its own company-supplied "meh" quality off-brand Thunderbolt 3 dock, with both docks switching through a modern KVM so that I can jump back and forth as desired. As the new computer has a Thunderbolt 4 port, I wanted to go with a TB4 dock to allow for the possibility of higher resolution & higher refresh monitors and maybe even more of them at some point. This Plugable dock looked to be the best balance between price and features -- for the features, there just aren't that many docks at this price. A lot of the docks around this range don't even have DisplayPort, just capability for USB monitors. A lot of the ones at this price also tend to supply less power, which aren't enough for this computer. This one also seemed to make the top X on quite a few of the "best Thunderbolt 4 docks" lists. So nothing much to report in the functionality -- plug stuff in, stuff works. I had no issue with the computer locking onto the dock or the dock addressing any of the peripherals. Everything happens pretty much instantaneously. You get a nice green solid light to show successful TB connection with the computer, or white if no connection. The dock supplies 98W of power, which is enough to actively charge my power-hungry Lenovo Legion 5 Pro notebook which needs something close to that to charge while using. It's almost the 100W max for this computer for USB charging. Anyway, that certainly works. I had one hiccup -- toward the end of the first full day of use, it just stopped working at all, unable to ever establish a connection to any computer plugged into it. Swapped cable, same deal. I contacted tech support (after hours) via email and immediately got a human response acknowledging the problem, letting me know the real techs were going to be back in office first thing in the morning and would get with me, and as promised, they did, the very next day. Josh from Plugable, probably one of the most polite and pleasant people I've ever dealt with from a tech support team, was quick to ask for a bit more info, followed by acknowledgement that it appears that the dock is bad, and an offer to send out another immediately in exchange for promise of return from me using the shipping label that was to be included. Each interaction was very quick -- no long waits between emails. The package did arrive in just a couple of days and the replacement so far is working great. He mentioned really being eager to get that other one back with all of the original stuff (i.e., "please use only the new stuff [power supply, cable, etc] because we don't know which part of the old unit is the point of failure") so that they can diagnose the cause of the problem, presumably to know whether there are manufacturing or design issues to address. It's what I like to hear. Anyway, highly recommend this product. If you need it, the tech support is unbeatable. Hopefully you won't need it, and you'll have a really solid and frankly very attractive dock that looks good sitting on my desktop where my old mid-tower system used to be, along with easy access to USB ports and SD-card slots and a headphone jack.

I ordered this for my husband. I am not a fan of gadgets, but he loved this dock once he opened it. The quality was extremely durable, and the setup was easy. He simply plugged his 2 screens and laptop. The dock has many options for connecting devices, which ultimately saves you from having to use different devices to connect to the system, like a Bluetooth adapter for a keyboard and mouse, your 2 HDMI ports, a webcam, and more. What else does a person need? Extremely helpful and problem-solving device. My husband highly recommends this.

Pese a que las especificaciones mencionan que no es compatible con Linux (me di cuenta después de hacer la compra...), me funcionó perfecto sin tener que instalar o configurar absolutamente nada (en Ubuntu 24.04). Lo uso con 3 pantallas FHD externas más la pantalla FHD interna de mi notebook, las 4 pantallas mostrando contenido distinto. No he probado el puerto de red, pero el sistema sí detecta la interfaz, así que debería funcionar sin problema también.

So far this has worked perfectly. Easy to set up, just plug and play and easy to connect to Mac or laptop via Thunderbolt 4 cord which is included. Plenty ports to handle multiple peripherals and multi monitors. No lag on screens and manages/dissipates heat exceptionally well. To date, has been a perfect dock for my M3 MacBook Pro and dual monitors.

Excellent rock solid performance from day one. We are using this with an Alienware x14 laptop with NVidia 3060 video card. Three external monitors plus the laptop screen working at the same time. Tons of USB devices attached via USB hubs connected to this dock. No problems at all. You MUST connect your laptop charger to your laptop if you want this or any other dock to work flawlessly (100w supply from a thunderbolt dock can't run a laptop that needs 130w power). Without your laptop charger attached, you will have random screen disconnects and general instability (not the docks fault). We were able to get 120hz refresh rate working with an LG C2 OLED tv.
