- Do I need a Thunderbolt 5 laptop to use it?
- No, it works with Thunderbolt 4 and USB-C laptops, but display count, resolution and speed drop. Triple 4K output at full refresh needs a Thunderbolt 5 host.
- How many monitors can it drive?
- Up to three 4K displays. Exact refresh rates depend on your laptop's Thunderbolt version and the cables you use.
- Does it charge the laptop?
- Yes, it delivers power over the same Thunderbolt cable, so a single connection handles charging, displays and data.
- Is it worth it over a Thunderbolt 4 dock?
- If you run three 4K screens or fast external storage, the extra bandwidth helps. For a single monitor and basic peripherals, a Thunderbolt 4 dock does the job for less.
- What is in the box?
- The dock, a Thunderbolt cable and a power supply. Check that your monitor cables match the ports you plan to use.
