Description of ๐Ÿ’ป Kensington Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station SD5700T - Dual 4K with 90W PD, compatible with Windows and Mac OS (K35175NA)

Thunderbolt 4 docking station for Thunderbolt 4 Windows laptops and Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 MacBooks (macOS 11 or later); also works great with non-Thunderbolt USB-C laptops; if you have a Thunderbolt 3 Windows laptop, this is not the dock for you, see part # K34009US). Supports dual monitor 4k Ultra HD (4k 60Hz) or single monitor 8k 30Hz for Thunderbolt laptops (note: Macbook Air and Macbook Pro 13โ€ with the original M1 CPU will only display to a single monitor due to Appleโ€™s chipset limitations, but Macbook Pros with M1 Pro and M1 Max CPUs will work with dual displays); for USB-C laptops: HBR3 laptops will receive Dual 4K@30Hz or Single 4K@60Hz; HBR2 laptops will receive Dual 1080P@60Hz or Single 4K@30Hz. Connect your laptop to the Thunderbolt 4 port (.8 meter Intel Certified TB4 cable included); connect your displays using one or two of the Thunderbolt 4 ports (usb-c to hdmi or usb-c to DisplayPort adapter or cable not included); unused Thunderbolt ports can connect directly to Thunderbolt devices (up to five additional via daisy chain, max 2 per port) while providing transfer speeds up to 40Gbps. 180 Watt Power Supply delivers 90W power to charge your laptop; delivers additional power to run peripherals like hard drives, and for charging phones and tablets including Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB 4.0, USB 3 and USB 2 peripherals. Static charging technology provides 15W to each of the downstream Thunderbolt 4 ports without taking power from the laptop โ€“ laptop still receives full 90W of power even when all other ports are utilized; other Thunderbolt 4 docks will divert power away from the laptop. Three Thunderbolt 4 downstream ports (all capable of data, video and audio and 15w power each); SD card reader (UHS-II SD 4.0); four USB-A ports (one 5V/1.5A charging port and three Gen2@10Gbps ports); one Gigabit Ethernet port; one audio combo jack; on/off switch Vesa mounting holes (see Kensington mounting bracket, part # K34050WW); Kensington lock slot (for a lock see part #K65035AM or K60600WW). DockWorks WiFi Auto-Switch guarantees the fastest, most reliable internet connection; while MAC Address ID Pass-Through and Reset, and Device Connection Monitoring give IT managers maximum network monitoring and visibility; Intel VT-d DMA protection blocks peripheral devices from unauthorized access to system memory. Three-year warranty and lifetime Kensington technical support.

Works great with modern MacBook Pros

The first unit I received was defective. After speaking to Kensington Technical Support for only about 10 minutes, they determined that the unit was behaving abnormally and advised me to return it immediately. Revain was replaced after a few days. The second device worked better than any other Thunderbolt dock I've tried with my 2020 16-inch MacBook Pros. It wakes the computer from sleep mode when you type on a connected keyboard or mouse. , the computer recognizes the connected monitorโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • I will add later

Works great with 2019 iMac

I wanted to add some extra TB ports to my 2019 27" iMac. This unit is great for this use. The unit does not get very hot or make a high pitched noise As others have noted. All ports work as intended. The card reader and headphone jack are handy. The speed of the port is very close to what it would have been if the drive was plugged directly into my Mac. I'd rather have the TB's front input on the Side or rear. I also wish the front power button was in a different location as I accidentallyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Industry leading
Cons
  • Expensive

Doesn't work well with Dell XPS 13 9310 (latest model)

I was very pleased with this product. Laptops are getting thinner, ports are getting scarcer, and when I saw Thunderbolt 4 support in the Kensington SD5700T, it was a no-brainer to buy (and the reviews seemed good). However, this thing was a pain. Full Disclosure: I have a Dell XPS 13 9310 (latest 2020 model) and this thing will work great if and only if: 1) you never plan on putting your computer to sleep 2) you never plan on using your Kensington SD5700T turn off. from your computer. If youโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Some difficulties
