Using one of the best laptops as your primary workstation gives you the flexibility of taking your work with you.
But it also means that at home, you don't have a wide plethora of ports to work with. I'm typing this very article on a 2018 MacBook Air, and with the machine plugged into a power source, I'm left with one measly Thunderbolt port for any accessories like backup storage drivers printers or external displays.
Enter the Thunderbolt 4 Dock from Belkin, an accessory with the guts to say "Why settle for just one port when 12 will do?" It's the perfect addition to anyone with a MacBook or Windows laptop, and thanks to a Cyber Monday deal, you can get this Thunderbolt 4 dock at a significant discount.
Specifically, Amazon is selling the Belkin Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station for $174, a 32% discount from the normal $257 the retailer charges. That's the lowest price we've seen on this particular accessory.
Here's what you get from Belkin's dock — two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two HDMI 2.0 ports, a USB0C 3.1 Gen 2 port along with two ports each for USB-A 3.1 and 2.0, a Gigabit Ethernet port and a 3.5mm audio jack. There's an SD card slot as well. The dock ships with a 2.6-foot Thunderbolt 4 cable that can work with different workstation configurations.
With the Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station, you can expect 90W of charging power, and that USB-C 3 port can fast-charge supported accessories.
If you're the sort who likes an external display with your laptop — and you should, it's a real productivity booster — the Belkin hub can support 8K resolution on a single display or 4K resolution for dual display setups.
In short, this is the kind of accessory that makes your life better. And the current price of the Belkin Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station makes life easier on your wallet, too.
