Not Worth the Hype - my new review

This docking station for Thunderbolt compatible laptops doesn't live up to its expectations. Based on my observations, it's prone to overheating and connectivity issues, making it a pain to use. The one positive is that it does have multiple ports, but that's not enough to make it worth the investment .Computers deserve better than this unreliable product..

Pros
  • 14 ports provide ample connectivity options for various devices
Cons
  • Some users may find the price tag to be too expensive

Unreliable Thunderbolt Docking Station

Based on my observations this docking station doesn't work properly and causes my laptop to freeze. The only positive aspect is the number of ports available. However, the instability of this product outweighs any potential benefits..

Pros
  • 14 ports
Cons
  • Unreliable, causes laptop to freeze.

Pros
  • Fast import: up to 312 MB/s, SD 4.0 with SD specification and microSD card reader slots for copying photos and films from memory cards; Hybrid analog audio input/output: Connect to headphones, headphone/microphone combos, external speakers, standalone microphones and other audio devices; Optical S/PDIF audio connector: Professional digital audio output for improved sound quality
Cons
  • Available in black only
