My LG UltraFine Thunderbolt display did not seem to work when connected to one of the three non-host Thunderbolt 4 ports, meaning I had to connect any displays I wanted to use directly to my Mac. When you want to use an external display, things have to be thought through a little more carefully. In my experience, the dock is easiest to set up with a single, all-in-one Mac like a MacBook Pro or an iMac. Simply connect the dock to power and hook a Thunderbolt cable up from the host device Thunderbolt port to a port on your Mac, and you're ready to go. It features a single Thunderbolt 4 host port that should be connected directly to your Mac or ‌iPad Pro‌. The Thunderbolt 4 Dock is a "plug and play" device, not requiring any additional software or drivers. The anodized aluminum finish closely matches Apple's Space Gray, which is perfect for having a consistent-looking setup providing that is your Apple device color of choice, but I wish Satechi would offer a silver option too. Rubber feet on the underside of the dock stop it from sliding around on surfaces and the overall design feels solid and sturdy. Though it's a minor concern, I did find the protective film on the glossy plastic difficult to remove since it is recessed so deeply inside the enclosure. It has a tapered design, with recesses on either side housing glossy black plastic with cutouts for the various ports. The dock features a compact, premium look with a sleek aluminum enclosure. Many competitors are still using Thunderbolt 3, so Satechi's Thunderbolt 4 dock is a great way to get the latest specification. power adapter and a short Thunderbolt 4 cable. While not all Macs have a Thunderbolt 4 port, Thunderbolt 4 is backwards compatible, meaning that most Mac models since 2016 should work with Satechi's Thunderbolt 4 Dock, as well as the latest iPad Pro models. Thunderbolt allows data transfer from all of the ports to take place through a single cable connected to your host device. Satechi's Thunderbolt 4 Dock provides a multitude of ports, including three Thunderbolt 4 ports, four USB-A ports, Gigabit Ethernet, a UHS-II card reader, and a 3.5mm audio jack, to increase your Mac setup's versatility for a price of $299.
