After a successful Thunderbolt 3 docking station, Belkin returns with an overhauled and patched Thunderbolt 4 version. UHS-II card readers and HDMI 2.0 are now on the agenda for better connectivity.
Belkin’s Thunderbolt 4 Dock Pro offers the best docking stations available today. We appreciate the presence of two HDMI 2.0 ports and a Thunderbolt 4 socket that allows you to connect up to three external displays, as well as the speeds that each of the interfaces offers. Just to sum it up, we would have appreciated a faster SD reader and a slightly less bulky transformer.
strong points
- Significant Streams.
- UHS-II card reader.
- HDMI 2.0 port.
weak points
- No full screen DisplayPort.
- RJ45 socket “only” according to the Gigabit standard.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices requested by all retailers for the product in the last month, with security rules to exclude prices from stores whose VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically with imports from China).
alternative
The Kensington UH1400P USB-C HUB delivers what it promises; the practical speeds of each interface are practically the same as the theoretical speeds. It may lack an SD reader, which offers faster speeds to make it the ideal companion for photographers and videographers. Speaking of video, we’ll also be pleased with the HDMI 2.0 port, which allows you to benefit from 4K at 60Hz when the competition is often content with 30Hz.
