Thunderbolt 4 Dock with 100W Charging, Thunderbolt Certified, Laptop Docking Station Dual Monitor Single 8K or Dual 4K HDMI for Windows and Mac, 4X USB, Gigabit Ethernet (TBT4-UD5)

★★★★★The Plugable Thunderbolt 4 Dock has honestly been one of the best desk upgrades I’ve made for my MacBook Pro 16". Setup was basically plug-and-play, and it immediately solved a major frustration I had with another dock that would only mirror displays instead of properly extending them.With this dock, I’m running two external monitors independently with no issues at all, while also keeping the MacBook fully charged through the same connection. The 100W charging has been more than enough for my workflow, even with video editing, multiple monitors, and accessories connected.Physically, the dock has a very clean and professional design. It’s compact for what it does, roughly 9" x 3.5", and under an inch tall, so it fits nicely on the desk without taking over the workspace. I also appreciate the subtle blue LED indicator. It’s visible enough to confirm power, but not distracting in a darker office or studio setup.Performance has been excellent overall. Connections have stayed stable, monitors wake correctly, and the dock runs cool and quiet. The front-facing ports are convenient for quick access to accessories and drives.My only real complaint is the laptop connection placement. The main Thunderbolt cable that connects to the laptop plugs into the front of the dock instead of the back. Functionally it works perfectly, but from a cable management standpoint I really wish Plugable had included a rear host connection option to keep the setup cleaner.That small design choice aside, this has been an outstanding dock for a MacBook Pro setup, especially if you need true dual-monitor support, charging, and reliable Thunderbolt performance from a single compact device.

The Plugable TBT4‑UD5 has been one of the best Thunderbolt docks I’ve used. It delivers stable, high‑bandwidth performance with my dual 4K ASUS ROG Strix monitors and handles demanding workloads (AutoCAD, Blender, gaming) without breaking a sweat. One of the biggest advantages is that the HDMI ports provide native GPU output without DisplayLink, which means no compression, no lag, and no weird artifacts — a huge plus for anyone who needs accurate, high‑quality video.I did run into an intermittent monitor flicker early on, and Plugable’s support team was exceptional. Evan walked me through detailed diagnostics, reviewed logs I sent, and ultimately arranged a warranty replacement. The new dock has been flawless.Great hardware, excellent performance, and truly top‑tier customer support. Highly recommended.

Review of Plugable Thunderbolt 4 Dock (TBT4-UD5)I bought this dock to replace a simple USB-C hub for my MacBook Pro — and the upgrade has been a game-changer.Before researching, I honestly didn’t know the difference between a USB-C hub and a Thunderbolt dock. I just thought both gave me extra ports. Now I understand why Thunderbolt docks cost more: they deliver full Thunderbolt speed, power delivery, and rock-solid reliability.Here’s what I’ve noticed since switching:Blazing-fast storage: My external Lexar SSD now runs at full Thunderbolt speed (with the right cable). File transfers are noticeably faster.Instant display wake-up: With my old hub, I had to mash the Return key and wait for my monitor to wake. With this dock, my external display wakes instantly.Future-proof video outputs: It supports dual 4K monitors or a single 8K monitor. I don’t own one yet, but it’s nice to know I’m ready for the future.Reliable Ethernet: The built-in 1 Gbps Ethernet port keeps my internet connection fast and stable.Plenty of ports: I get 4 USB-A ports (2x 5 Gbps + 2x 10 Gbps), a 10 Gbps USB-C port, and another Thunderbolt 4 port (40 Gbps). I can plug in all my external SSDs and hard drives — they mount instantly with no lag.Strong power delivery: The dock charges my MacBook Pro at 95 W and keeps it near 100% even under load.Extra convenience: The audio in/out jack works perfectly for my monitor speakers or a headset mic for voiceovers. The built-in microSD/SD reader let me ditch my old card reader and free up desk space.Overall, this dock feels solid, performs flawlessly, and keeps my MacBook and peripherals running fast and reliably. It’s not cheap, but the stability, speed, and convenience make it worth every penny.

Fully functionable, full featured, no setup. Plugable replaces my power supply (original stays in my backpack for travel) and incorporated 2 HDMI monitors, USB-A camera and drive, a USB-C drive, and Ethernet. There is only one USB-C power cord going to my new Dell notebook--all other peripherals handled so I only need to disconnect/reconnect one cable. I am extremely pleased with this device which is less than 2/3 of the cost of the equivalent Dell accessory.The description was not clear but a Thunderbolt 96w power supply is included, power passes through to the Thunderbolt 4 port on my laptop.

These work great and are plug and play compatible with my MacBook. Plenty of ports for duel monitors and accessories. I gave it 4 stars because of the price, it’s expensive for what it is, but I wanted something clean docking station for my desk.

When it works, it works great. Unfortunately it fails daily. I set my monitors up and it changes the setup. I confirmed it supports my new macbook pro, I follow the directions, I reboot it, reconnect things, try different cables, and it still does not remember how I have the display set. Plugable claims they have great support. I have contacted support multiple times and they don't respond to any emails, not one.

I bought this dock because I needed one that worked with both MacBook and my Windows machine. This dock fit the bill and has worked as expected. This completes my setup and I'm happy with the purchase. I wish I had known that this product shipped with a Thunderbolt 4 cable to hook my machines to the dock. Not explicitly stated in the description, however, it DOES come with an included cable so don't need to separately buy a cable to make this work.

Executive summary: I am a happy customer and I think this is a good product.Update to review: After I left the below review, Plugable's support team reached out to me. We were in the process of doing some troubleshooting and my next task was to install and run a diagnostic tool. There is a sensitive data concern (work laptop) so I am hesitant to download the tool. The hub seemed to reset earlier this week (not sure if it was something the hub did or if Windows might have done an update that impacted it). Since then it has been working perfectly. Plugable's support team was good to work with. I have never been certain whether this was a problem with the hub or the laptop. But since it is working now and I am confident in their support team, I am changing this to five stars.Original review: I am using this hub to run two monitors (while also using laptop display, so total of three screens) and a USB camera. Initially I was impressed - setup was easy and it somehow guessed the position of my monitors (one portrait and one landscape) so well that the mouse moved flawlessly from screen to screen. Since then...not so much. Every day it's a gamble. It inconsistently assigns the ID, so most days I have to go into Display Settings, swap the positioning, redo the portrait/landscape settings, and adjust the layout. Today my USB camera won't work. I have downloaded current drivers for the monitors and removed all old monitor settings, but cannot get the hub to consistently assign the monitor IDs. Sometimes I can cycle the power on it a couple times until it guesses the monitor assignments correctly. Sometimes after a sleep/wake on the laptop, the hub will only recognize one monitor. Rebooting the laptop solves that one. While I realize this could be a problem on the laptop end, it is a brand new Lenovo ThinkPad and I've had no other trouble with it. Two stars, since once the daily irritation is passed, it does work well for the rest of the day.

Plugable TBT4-UD5 Thunderbolt 4 Dock.Got a new laptop with two ThunderBolt4 (TB4, aka. USB4) ports. So, went hunting for a dock to take full advantage. The field is very limited though, and this one seems the best, better even than the "big brother" of it from Plugable.This was the only dock I found that had another Thunderbolt port (on the front, even) for peripherals. As well as a pair of 5gbs USB3 ports on front, and several 10gbs ports on the rear. This is a great dock and is working well here.My only(!) complaint is the dumb front-mounted port for the laptop cable. Lots of other docks make the same mistake, dunno why? It belongs at the REAR, guys!! Otherwise all quite good!There's a white version that is sometimes lower priced: B0FGFW5FVD and also the Kensington AD2010T4 dock appears to be exactly the same thing as this one.EDIT: More than a year on, and it's going strong here and I'm exceptionally pleased with it. No issues. Loving the extra TB4 jack on the front, for backups to external NVMe drives. Solved the front-mounted laptop cable issue with a right-angled TB4 cable that easily routes to the rear and keeps things tidy.Note that I use this almost exclusively with Kubuntu Linux 24.04 on the laptop. Everything works very well with no fuss.Added a photo, with a KVM switch sitting on top.

Finally I found a properly docker hub station for my Mac Proobook M2.After several attempts, talking with several consultants (Dell and Best Buy), they couldn't provide precise recommendation for my computer. Usually, the images was mirroring through 2 monitors, or extra cables plugged into my machine.Now, only one cable plugged and independents images in each monitor. In addition, it is cheaper than Dell's one.

Excelente! Llego antes de lo esperado, pero lo que mas me gusto, es que era exactamente lo que estaba buscando. Funcionó a la perfección con mi Macbook Pro 16 M4 Max! Excelente producto MUY recomendable!

Great product and great customer service, would recommend to anyone!
