After a successful Thunderbolt 3 docking station, Belkin returns with a revised and patched Thunderbolt 4 version. UHS-II card reader and HDMI 2.0 are now on the program for better connectivity.
Belkin’s Thunderbolt 4 Dock Pro currently offers the best in docking stations. We appreciate the presence of two HDMI 2.0 ports and a Thunderbolt 4 socket which allows you to connect up to three external screens, as well as the speeds offered by each of the interfaces. Just to nitpick, we would have appreciated a faster SD reader and a slightly less bulky transformer.
Strong points
- Significant flows.
- UHS-II card reader.
- HDMI 2.0 port.
Weak points
- No full-frame DisplayPort.
- RJ45 socket “only” to the Gigabit standard.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The Kensington UH1400P USB-C HUB delivers what it promises; the practical speeds of each interface are practically equivalent to the theoretical speeds. It may lack an SD reader offering higher speeds to make it the ideal companion for photographers and videographers. Moreover, speaking of video, we will be satisfied with the HDMI 2.0 port which allows you to benefit from 4K at 60 Hz, when the competition is often satisfied with 30 Hz.
