TechRadar's Collin Probst gave the CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt Dock a full 5-star review and called it the gold standard for Thunderbolt docks. It carries 18 ports, four of them Thunderbolt 4 connections, delivers 98W of power, and the build quality feels durable enough to trust on a busy desk. The Verge's Dan Seifert called it 'nearly perfect' with the most well-equipped configuration available, though he flagged the $380 price tag as a significant drawback. Both reviewers agree on the superior port selection and performance, and both note the bulk. Power users and professionals who need maximum connectivity are the audience, not casual users or anyone shopping on portability or affordability.

Strengths
  • — Incredible 98W power delivery supporting fast charging for laptops and peripherals
  • — Fantastic port options with 18 total ports including 3x 10Gb/s USB-C, 5x 10Gb/s USB-A, and dual 6K displays support
  • — Extra Thunderbolt 4 ports providing high-speed data transfer and device connectivity
Watch-outs
  • — Costs noticeably more than most Thunderbolt 4 docks, and the two-year warranty is shorter than some rivals offer
  • — No HDMI output, so an HDMI display needs an adapter or a DisplayPort connection
  • — Bulky external power supply that reviewers flagged as a cable-management problem

UGREEN Revodok Pro USB-C Dock
Ranked #5 in Best Docking Stations
UGREEN Revodok Pro USB-C Dock
9 sources$16.99as of Aug 1

Triple-display support is the UGREEN Revodok Pro 13-in-1's headline: 4K at 60Hz on two ports and 8K at 30Hz on a third, at a price well under premium Thunderbolt docks. PCWorld's Mark Hachman praised its 'excellent performance' and 'great value for the money,' while XDA's Brady Snyder called it a 'good mix of price and performance.' Reviewers flagged the short built-in cable and the requirement for a separate power supply. It works best with modern laptops and Apple Silicon Macs, and compatibility with older Intel Core systems is uncertain. Power users running multiple displays are the fit, with those requirements attached.

Strengths
  • — Excellent triple-display support with 4K at 60Hz on two ports and 8K at 30Hz on one port
  • — Great value for money compared to premium Thunderbolt docks
  • — Optimized build with multiple connectivity options including HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-A, USB-C, Ethernet, and SD/TF slots
Watch-outs
  • — Built-in USB-C cable is short and requires separate power supply
  • — Not fully compatible with older 11th-gen Intel Core laptops
  • — Included cables aren't long enough for some setups

How they stack up

CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt 4

The CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt 4 stands out with its 18-port configuration and 98W power delivery, making it superior to the Anker 563 10-in-1 Docking Station which only offers 100W charging and fewer ports. Unlike the UGREEN Revodok Max, it provides better overall connectivity with dual 6K display support and no HDMI limitations, though it's significantly more expensive at $399.99. Compared to the Dell WD25TB4, it offers more universal compatibility and better port variety, but lacks the modular upgrade system that Dell's dock provides.

UGREEN Revodok Pro USB-C Dock

The UGREEN Revodok Pro offers triple-display support with 8K output, a feature not matched by the HyperDrive 12 or Dell D6000. It's more affordable than the CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt Dock but lacks Thunderbolt ports and has a short built-in cable. Unlike the Satechi 15-in-1, it provides Ethernet and SD card readers, though it's less portable and doesn't offer wireless charging.
