Why people pick it

  • Up to 140W over one Thunderbolt 4 cable, the most laptop power in this group
  • Thunderbolt 4 in and out lets you chain a second monitor from one laptop port
  • Full 10Gbps USB hub plus 2.5GbE Ethernet, so it doubles as a dock
  • 4K at 120Hz and DisplayHDR 600 on an IPS Black panel
  • Built-in KVM for a work laptop and a personal computer on one desk

Know before you buy

  • 140W only reaches laptops that support USB PD EPR; others top out at 90W
  • Over basic USB-C (not Thunderbolt) at full 4K resolution, the hub can fall back to USB 2.0 speed
  • macOS does not support DisplayPort MST, so the DP-out daisy chain is for Windows; Macs chain over Thunderbolt
  • No built-in speakers or webcam
  • Heavy at about 7kg with the stand
