Smooth high-resolution output for a monitor or TV.

A full desk’s worth of connections from one cable.

Why people pick it

  • Built-in HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 2.1 output, so one display needs no adapter
  • 140W host charging covers the 16-inch MacBook Pro's 140W adapter rating
  • Power supply is built in: just an AC cord, no external brick
  • Firmware updates through Anker's Dock Manager app

Know before you buy

  • HDMI and DisplayPort can't be used at the same time
  • Anker's notes say two external displays and no triple display, although its newest compatibility chart lists triple displays on M5 Pro/Max
  • Card readers are UHS-I, slower than the UHS-II readers on CalDigit and OWC docks
  • Tall cube with a fan; won't work with Thunderbolt 3 laptops
