Also, the price difference between Belkin and online retailers is shocking.
Thats plenty for charging most laptops, but some gaming and workstation models expect more than this wattage.
Because this uses the latestIntelThunderbolt chipsets, it will work with TB3, TB4, USB4.0 and even USB-C.
It will work with iPads that have a USB-C port and not Lightening.
Our assessment of the port selection is that it could have been better in a few places.
But, the Caldigit TS4 product offers 18 ports, not 12.
Things get slightly twisted because the same product can be found online for much less than Belkin asks.
And, with a TB to HDMI adapter, the number of displays supported would have remained unchanged.
Note we said possible, not practical.
More power-demanding machines may find that even when connected to the dock, the battery charge declines when used.
And that design has more charging power, more ports and a 2.5GbE LAN port.
Just double-check that the dock is the one you want, especially for Apple MacBook owners, before purchasing.
You have an older MacBook M1It’s not a Belkin issue but an Apple one.
These docks dont work well with the original Apple MacBook M1 machines that use USB-C, not Thunderbolt.
