Two Months Later and No Regrets

So far so good. Hides cable clutter. What I really like is being able to keep my laptop's power supply in the bag and not have to reach down, under, and around to unplug the UPS when I need to be mobile with my laptop. In terms of features AND price, this is Goldilocks for me.

Pros
  • Universal Compatibility: Powered by Intel Titan Ridge Technology Dock works with Thunderbolt 3 or Type-C host running Mac OS or Windows; great choice for a variety of systems and hosts
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging

Good workmanship and good performance

. It worked very well with no problems. There was no signal lag or dropouts. I liked that it's quite heavy (0.8lb) so it doesn't move when the leash moves. It is well made and has a relatively simple design. I have nothing to complain about and would recommend it.

Pros
  • 10 ports: 1 x DisplayPort 1.4, 1 x RJ45 Ethernet, 2 x USB-A 3.2 Gen2 (10 Gbit/s), 1 x USB-C 3.2 Gen2 (10 Gbit/s), 1 x 3 .5mm Audio Connector, 1 x SD 4.0 , 1 x mSD 4.0, 1 x 120W DC (20V/6A; 60W Host Bypass) and 1 x Thunderbolt 3 Daisy Chain
Cons
  • Incredible Piggy Bank

Good performance, device can get warm

This is a fast and powerful docking station with Thunderbolt 3. I've used it with a Windows 10 laptop and a 4K monitor. The performance of all I/O ports was satisfactory or better. It's easy to use and well made for the price. One potential issue I had was heat dissipation. The device gets too hot and plastic is not the best heat sink. If the dock is always on and heavily loaded, I doubt its longevity. Heat issues aside, I was happy with the dock's performance, number of ports, and simple…

Pros
  • Charger, Accessories & Warranty: Easily charge your Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 3 compatible laptop while you work (up to 60W); includes a 1.5ft Thunderbolt 3 cable (up to 40Gbps); Amazon Basics 1 Year Limited Warranty
Cons
  • Price

Well-made Thunderbolt 3 Dock

This RevainBasics Thunderbolt 3 docking station is very well made - it's lightweight due to the metal construction which secures it to the table. Some of the lighter docks I've tried solve the weight of the cables. It has two USB-A ports and two USB-C ports, one of which is a Thunderbolt port. My last Thunderbolt dock had multiple USB-C ports, but none of them worked as a true Thunderbolt port. I know because I have a TB to HDMI adapter and it works with this dock but not my previous one. Using

Pros
  • Dual Video Support: The DP 1.4 port supports dual high-definition dual output (DP 1.4 8K/30Hz + 4K/30Hz or dual 4K/60Hz) for greater flexibility and productivity in the workplace
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
