Description of Kensington LD5400T Thunderbolt Universal K33476NA

Best-in-class Thunderbolt 3 Docking experience with next generation laptop Locking technology, Kensington delivers a 2-in-1 docking and locking solution for both Windows and Mac; this is the Single-User model.; MacBooks with the new M1 chipset will only display to a single monitor due to Apple’s chipset limitations (see our part #K33620NA for a dual monitor solution for Apple M1 machines). Thunderbolt 3 dock for MacBook Pro, MacBook Air 2018 W/Retina Display, and Windows supports 4K Ultra HD simultaneously (4096 x 2160 30-bit color @ 60 Hz) on two monitors, or 5K 60fps TO a single monitor via DisplayPort and ONE of the Thunderbolt 3 ports (USB-C to DisplayPort); delivers 85W power to charge the laptop; 1.5' TB3 Cable included; your laptop must be designed to support power Delivery via Thunderbolt to provide charging. Two Thunderbolt 3 ports; DisplayPort; four Super speed USB 3.1 Ports (5V/0.9a); Gigabit Ethernet port; combo 3.5mm Audio in/out port; Kensington Lock slot; scratch-resistant bumpers line the back wall and base to protect your laptop from cosmetic damage; 3 Year Warranty and lifetime technical support. Lock your MacBook (including touch Bar models), MacBook Air, thin & light PC, and other thin laptops with the 11"-15" Adjustable security arms; provides unobstructed access to the laptop's side ports and does not require any laptop modifications; k-fob smart lock technology combines encrypted security with the simplicity of keyless locking (includes 2 k-fobs). Locking options: 1) tether to any fixed structure with the removable cable lock (included) which is unlocked along with the security arms by the k-fob; 2) use the Kensington lock slot (standard size) and a separate Kensington cable lock (not included) to secure for situations where the dock will stay in the same place but a laptop is going to move around; 3) attach to a desk with two screws via the hidden pre-drilled mounting hole on the bottom of the dock

Good delivery of laptop accessories

Fairly fast nationwide delivery. The item was properly sealed and packaged. I'd like to suggest using bubble wrap instead of an air bubble, or a combination of both - you've noticed that some sealed plastic bubbles have leaked and may pop out during shipping. The rest is OK!

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Reliability

Trash - Do not buy

This item is trash. This doesn't work with my MacBook Pro (15" 2017). It worked fine for about a week, then when the laptop went to sleep, one of the monitors wouldn't come out of sleep. I fiddled with the connections until It worked but I didn't have to. There were constant problems with the ethernet connection where the connection dropped for 15 seconds about every 20 minutes. I had to buy a separate ethernet adapter to work around this problem. Today I have on Big Sur and .Now the USB ports…

Pros
  • Beautiful item
Cons
  • old

An interesting solution for a docking station, thanks to which the word "dock " really lives up to its function.

This is a very interesting solution for the docking station, thanks to which the word "dock" really justifies its function. The laptop literally "docks" to the device, and then you have all the connections on the back. It gives you pretty much everything you could possibly need in a dock and it's very well made. At first glance, you might think this is a HUGE laptop dock, but since it's also a full-fledged security station, its size makes it quite compact when bolted to a surface. Is it…

Pros
  • New in my collection
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

USB-c charging is not supported for MacBook Pro M1

Overall this is a good product, great for locking a Macbook and as a docking station. However, the most important task failed when using the included USB-C cable to charge the machine. It always seems to be connected to the network, but the battery will not charge even if the remaining charge is below 50%.

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Can't remember

Damn Displayport issues

It was great. Unless you wanted to connect more than one monitor. Using the USB-C HDMI adapter for my first external monitor went smoothly. The problem started when I tried to use the DisplayPort connector that this thing uses. I couldn't get ANY DisplayPort to HDMI adapter to work with it. I know the port works because I connected a monitor from another computer that had a display port and it worked so-so (you MUST reboot before it recognizes the new monitor, which is annoying). Kensington…

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Compatible with Thunderbolt devices but not USB-C

Just wanted to help people who are dealing with all the USB-C and Thunderbolt confusion. An easy way to remember. Thunderbolt output (e.g. computer) to USB-C device (monitor etc.) works (TB -> USBC). USB-C output to Thunderbolt does NOT work (USBC -> TB). I bought it as it was the cheapest Thunderbolt dock I could find. My computer (Dell Inspiron 13 7378) only has one USB-C port and I wanted to be able to connect a 15.6 inch ASUS ZenScreen portable monitor with 1080P resolution (MB16AC)…

Pros
  • Same as everything so far
Cons
  • Neutral

I can't figure out why this dock is so accessible!

This dock works great with my Macbook M1. I've read a painful amount of information about USB-C devices. A lot of these things are "compatible" - it's not really a lightning bolt. You would use one port for charging and the other for (non)flash, losing the potential for lightning speed. This device is a docking station that replaces your power adapter, has 4 USB-A ports and none of them are USB-2. . Has an included Kensington lock cable Overall, I found this device to be a happy replacement for

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
