Lots of connections, but issues
on May 2, 2022

from Harborcreek
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lots of connections, but issues. All ports work as required however with external mouse and keyboard plugged into it there is a consistent skip or pause when typing or moving the mouse - every minute or so.... No updates to try to fix have been found.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi,
Thank you for sharing your observations with the Belkin Thunderbolt 4 Dock. Please use other external mouse and keyboards to isolate the setback. Also, pairing the dock with other compatible computers is recommended. After performing these necessary steps, let's proceed with contacting our Product Experts and move forward with your case. Our support hotline can be found here: https://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articleNum=55022

Saves my ports from wearing out.
on April 20, 2022

from Happy Valley, OR
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I often unplug my laptop from my desk. I have a couple USB ports, a HDMI , Power, wired USB mouse and USB printer, that I utilize on my laptop. Each time I want to move my laptop to another area of my home, I have to unplug everything. At some point I fear that the ports will wear out as I do this often. I got this Thunderbird 4 Dock so I could plug each of my devices into it and only have to unplug 2 cables. My power and Lightning cable. My laptop doesn't charge via the USB C port. But that is ok. My laptop is also only wifi. No ethernet built in. I took all the devices that I plug into my laptop and plug them into my dock. I even plug in the ethernet from my wall. Everything works great! All devices were recognized. There is no lag or noticeable issues when I have all the devices running. The dock is very cool looking too. I have used docks where I push my laptop down on it. I never was a fan of those. I enjoy using the USB C connector. So much more simple. My router is across the house. So my internet has been flaky. Now that I use the ethernet in the dock, it is much more stable and much faster. I am a licensed Amateur Radio Operator (ham). I feared that this device would cause interference. I ran some tests with it and there is zero interference from this device. I am very pleased with this dock.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I am working from home, having the right setup can make your home office look and feel organized especially if you have multiple peripheral devices such as two monitors, webcam, USB headset, speakers, cell phone charging station, and etc…
With the ability to plug in all those devices to your laptop through a single cable makes the shift from In the Office to work from home easy as plug and play.

I was able to test both Windows and Mac setups. According to Belkin’s website. The dock should work for both. But it depends on the hardware and year of PC or Macbook and cables will determine what setup the dock supports. My PC setup is a Lenovo Yoga X1 3rd Gen (2018) model running Windows 11 with Thunderbolt 3. Everything works fine except you get an annoying popup that the device is not certified for PC use. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get the Macbook to work with the dock.
I had a Intel-i7 2019 Macbook Pro running 10.15.7 MacOS Catalina. I just didn’t have the right cables or adapters to connect my monitors to the dock.

Overall I would recommend buying this dock you have a PC (2021 or newer) with thunderbolt 4. Unless you want to get an annoying popup every time you plugin your dock. This seemed to be the simplest setup and easiest to accommodate.
If you are a Macbook owner this would depend on which model you own. If you have the newer M1 chip there are dual display limitations.
My suggestion is to plan your setup. From the number and types of monitors, connectors, cables, KVM, peripherals, all the way down to your hardware model of your laptop and operating system.
Not having everything in order will not get you the setup that you want.

Good product but...
on April 13, 2022
Posted by: loli44
from St. Paul, MN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good piece of equipment, but, it is confusing to use and a bit over priced in my opinion. The functionality is food, in theory, but when the unit is finicky on cables or specific computer models, that makes the point of owning it moot. I feel as though it sounds beefy in boasting three USB-C ports, however, there is really only one usable one. The quality of the unit itself seems to be good. While it has plastic faceplates, it seems sturdy enough. I am not a computer expert, so I think this product goes over my head a bit, since I thought it would be plug-and-play. Not so much... I see how the functionality is promising, but not for the less-than-techy individual. While I could see recommending this to people who are more tech-minded, I couldn't see recommending to a friend, as they are all less-than-tech-minded, like me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am loving it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little dock will help me out in so many ways when I work on my projects here at home. I love that you can hook so many things up to it and that it runs fast and smooth without hesitation. I like the two screens because it helps me do multiple tasks at once. My son also will love it so he can use it to game on and hook the screen up together. I have multiple external hard drives and they work great with it. Still learning how to use other things but I’m sure it will be easy to learn.

Great extra port option

from NY NY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a god send for working from home. You don’t realize how few ports a new ultra portable laptops have. Then you realize how many you need. Plus the option of linking two displays that have up to 4k resolution a piece. This is a no brainer if your switching to remote or hybrid work. I have no complaints.

Must have for the at home worker.
on May 3, 2022
Posted by: dbaxter3
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First thing I can say is that I am extremely pleased with this dock! I have been looking at similar items but they didn't have all the options I desired. I have been loving this with Mac and Windows systems, for business and pleasure. Some features worked easily with my MacBook, the external SD card slot has allowed me to put all of my pics on my laptop. I have been using it for work to run 2 4k screens, it can support a triple screen but I don't have much use for that feature. I have found it friendlier to use with my windows computer than my Mac. Of course it can be used as a charging dock for all your devices as well. The quality of the device itself is awesome. Not too heavy in the event you'd need to travel with it. Sleek and modern looking. The power cord is a huge 3-prong brick though, I was very surprised by that and that's really the big negative that I can mention about this device. This thunderbolt dock can be incredibly helpful depending on your needs.
