Expand the utility and port count of your Mac with one of these fantastic deals on Thunderbolt docks.
Apple’s Mac and MacBook lineup have just enough ports to be useful, but often you’ll want more. USB and Thunderbolt may be commonplace, but you’ll soon find that you need either more ports for your desktop, or connections that simply aren’t available to use.
To expand the number of ports at your disposal, you could get a dock. To ensure that you have enough bandwidth for all of the devices you connect to it, you really should get a Thunderbolt dock.
Here are six Thunderbolt docks that you can use to easily increase the port count of your Mac hardware, and get even more out of your computing setup.
iVanky Fusion Dock Max 1 Thunderbolt Dock
The iVanky Fusion Dock Max 1 Thunderbolt Dock is a stylish approach to a Thunderbolt dock, but also one that’s quite powerful in its own right. In our iVanky FusionDock Max 1 review, we found that the “floating” appearance was interesting, but also helped with increasing surface area for cooling.
The port collection includes two Thunderbolt 4 connections to the host, which is unusual, as is the use of two Thunderbolt controller chips. This means it has a total of 20 ports overall, including dual HDMI 2.0 outputs, 2.5Gb Ethernet, and 96 watts of charging.
