Solid Build and Functionality
on November 10, 2020
Posted by: rebelfish
from Dayton, OH
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will first state that I was unable to test the external monitor feature of the dock because it is limited to Display Port and I had no cables on hand. HDMI would have been preferred for my use cases.
The main objection I have to this dock is that the almost as big and heavy as the dock itself. Not a big deal if it is going to be used in a home office scenario, but a deterrent for portability.
I have a MacBook Pro connected to the dock via USB-C and it keeps it charged. The SD card reader works nicely as do the various USB ports, ethernet, and audio/mic jack. I don't have the ability to test various speeds, but the overall feel is that it works as expected and easily expands your input capability where Macs only come with USB-C now.

Not fully compatible with Windows 10

Problem is using Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Dock Pro on Windows 10.
My environment:
1) Huawei MateBook X pro laptop woth Thinderbolt 3 port and Windows 10 Pro x64.
2) Apple Thunderbolt Display is a 27-inch A1407 (Thunderbolt 2) connected to the Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Dock Pro using Apple - Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter.

2) Apple Thunderbolt Display is a 27-inch A1407 (Thunderbolt 2) connected to the Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Dock Pro using Apple - Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter.
Using this configuration I can use only Thunderbolt 3 Belkin dock ports.
All other Belkin dock ports, including USB-3/USB-C/Ethernet/Card reader etc are not recognizable by Windows 10 operating system.
These ports will be recognized only if I unplug Apple display, so I can use only either configuration - 1)with Apple display without Belkin other ports or 2)without Apple display, but with all Belkin ports.
Works without any problems on all my Mackbook Pro 15'(with Thuderbolt 2 and Thunderbolt 3 ports) and MacBook Pro 16'.

Hello, yabr,
The Belkin F4U097 is tested to be compatible with Windows 10 operating system. You may try to disconnect and re-connect the peripheral on the dock one by one and make sure to plug your computer into the rear Thunderbolt 3 port, located next to the power jack and designated with a computer icon. Update us then on how it goes so we can have you assisted by our Escalation Engineers through email at BelkinCares@belkin.com with your contact info, and the link of this review, for our reference.
Regards,
Elyza

Sleep / Wake problem
on January 28, 2022
Posted by: lobequadrat
The sleep problem still occurs (currently Monterey 12.2). That is the Monitor does not wake up after the computer (MBP - Intel) wakes up. I would expect a solution for a dock at this price level.
Response from belkin.comBy Belkin, Customer Service, January 29, 2022
Hi lobequadrat,
We appreciate your sharing your feedback. The workaround for this is to turn off the monitor that has no picture, unplug one end of the video cable for that monitor, plug it back in, and then turn on that monitor.
If you need further assistance, feel free to email us at BelkinCares@belkin.com with the relevant details and the link to this review for our reference.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a well made item that allows me to use older devices on my MacBook Pro. It works great. I haven’t tried an additional monitor yet, but will be adding one soon

Not fully compatible with macbook pro. Do yourself a favor and do some research on this docking station before even considering purchasing it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

good product but to much excess cable-waste
on February 8, 2022
Posted by: thevideotechnician
from Sweden
Bought 3 docks for my academy's video editing suites, it's got all the right connections and works well for the purpose... satisfied with that. Just one thing, WHY does it come with all these excess cables? I sit here now with 6 powercables that are of absolutely NO USE for us. Just what are we supposed to with powercables for United Kingdom and Switzerland that we living in the EU have no use for? Throw them away? As if resources on earth was unlimited? They are not. It comes with a hight cost for our one and only planet to produce all these things that will never ever be used.
Please, in the future, send this product only with the cable needed in the area where it is to be used.
I understand that in your point of view you might think you save money on not doing so, but it won't be possible to go on for ever doing like this.
Or, sell it separately, or save on material by sending just one powercable with a choice of small adapters for the plug into the wall part, like some other companies do.
Please do something to perform better on the enviromental friendly part. It does matter. A lot.

Handsome full-featured dock could be better.
on July 26, 2021
Posted by: asdfhjkl
from Milwaukee, WI
Overall I am happy to have a dock with thunderbolt 3 capability, but I have three issues with this particular product. (1) The power supply only provides a maximum of 85W for charging overhead which causes me to have to plug in laptop powersupply as well as the thunderbolt cable. (2) My laptop won't wakeup upon a keystroke or mouse movement as it does when it is undocked. The reliable method for wake up is to unplug the thunderbolt cable and plug it back in. (3) I regularly experience lag driving two 27" monitors at 2560 x 1440. My laptop has a 6th gen i7 and dedicated graphics processor (nvidia quadro M1000M), which seems ample. Even just using a text editor with a web browser open causes significant lag.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works perfectly and it looks really nice
on October 1, 2020
Posted by: Kyle B
from Bangor, Maine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dock looks super clean and quickly allows you to turn a small laptop 13" into a much more comfortable workstation. I go from one port on my laptop to having charging, usb drives, a larger monitor keyboard and mouse and being able to charge or transfer stuff off my phone to boot. Internet and drives have been full speed and reliable through it
It works with my with both my Windows and Ubuntu dual boot perfectly, my girlfriends macbook pro (on Catalina) and it even works with my phone to run Dex which saved me once when I forgot my laptop.
Its nice knowing its just going to work so you can get to work and not worry about it
I would recommend this to a friend!
