MacBook Pro Docking Station Dual Monitor USB C Hub - 9-in-1 Dock

Our review of this MacBook Pro Docking Station finds it best suited to MacBook Pro and MacBook Air users who need to add a wide set of ports without a separate dock. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of dual HDMI output and 100W USB-C power delivery in one slim aluminum adapter, which turns a compatible MacBook with two Thunderbolt 3 ports into a portable workstation for dual displays and multiple USB accessories. It is not a perfect fit for every Mac, but for owners of 2018-2021 models with the correct port layout it unlocks significant connectivity.

Key Features

• Dual HDMI outputs: Lets a user connect two external monitors in mirror or extended mode so presentations and multitasking are far easier.
• 100W Power Delivery: Keeps a MacBook Pro or Air charged while driving displays and peripherals, avoiding battery drain during heavy work.
• Multiple USB ports: Three USB 3.0 ports and one USB 2.0 port provide fast 5Gbps device connections for drives, keyboards and mice.
• SD and Micro SD card reader: Fast card access up to the stated speeds makes importing photos or video straightforward for photographers and editors.
• Gigabit Ethernet: A wired network port delivers stable 1000Mbps connections for reliable file transfers and conferencing.
• Aluminum slim body: The anodized metal housing improves heat dissipation and keeps the adapter compact for travel.

Who It's For

This dock is aimed at MacBook Pro and MacBook Air owners from 2018 through 2021 who have two Thunderbolt 3 ports on one side and need to expand to multiple displays and peripherals without a large docking station. It is especially useful for video editors, photographers and developers who benefit from dual monitors, SD card access and fast USB 3.0 connectivity.

Users who have only a single USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on one side of their laptop, or those who need enterprise docking features like multiple high-bandwidth Thunderbolt chains, should look elsewhere. Also be aware that some users report heat under heavy load and a few reported units failing after months of use.
