Applications For Desktop Computers

If you like computers booting instantly and do not like to wait around for games/applications to load then upgrade to this M2 drive now!

Functions exactly as listed, allows you to take output from applications that only support one desktop output, and divide it across up to three displays. I use it for running multiple projectors from an iMac for surface mapping.

I use the TS4 to connect my MacBook Pro M1 Max 64 GB RAM and 4TB storage to my desktop. This is not a technical performance review; this is how I use the TS4 for my specific applications and workflow. I need to transfer large files and use high-demand memory applications. I need this for video and photo editing and probably have products that many others would connect. I do not want to spend time connecting all my accesories when transitioning from desktop to road warrior. The CalDiigit TS4 lets me do it all plug and play. You are spending more on this unit but getting what you pay for. I continue to carry a mobile docking station for connecting accessories when on the road. Still, the only difference between using my MacBook Pro as a desktop or mobile is the ability to use all my accessories, and the CalDigit TS4 is the ticket. When returning to my desktop, I connect my computer to one Thunderbolt cord on the TS4 to get everything quickly connected, including; powering and charging my Mac (I keep the Mac power cord in my bag for traveling), 4K monitor, RODE podcaster, Black Magic video mixer, 2 X SSD Firewire Hard Drives, Bose USB powered speakers, HP large format printer connected by USB print cable, LAN connection for best network speeds vs. WiFi, Elgato Stream Deck XL, Ipad, and iPhone docking stations. I had no trouble connecting all of my devices with nothing weird going on. Everything worked, if not better, than if I directly plugged into my Macbook Pro. The TS4 is like an air traffic control tower for all my computer accessories. I should also note that the speeds of my SSD hard drives did not slow down when connecting through the TS4. I get great transfer rates and could not be more pleased with my purchase.

I like desktop and macro photography. This lens is perfect for my applications. Good buy and the rebate process is painless.

This mini desktop feels like it is built solidly and it is a good value for the specs. It is probably not enough for intensive applications like PC gaming, but for everything else it is great for daily use. I would have liked an HDMI port for older monitors but the ports it has are sufficient.

Been using APC UPS products on desktop applications for a long time. Needed a solution for an entertainment center and this item had the right features. Plenty of electrical and data outlets. The swivel cord is a great feature, greatly reduces strain on the cord.

I use the Arc Mouse for my desktop, laptop and netbook computers. Very easy to use and the design makes it very comfortable to use. It takes just a little adjustment after switching from an optical mouse, but you will not go back.

I know that there are several companies out there who make good memory cards, but when I check my stash of memory cards, most of them say SanDisk on them. Likewise, most of the back-up memory for my Desktop computers say Western Digital (who owns SanDisk). My advice is to learn about the nuances of memory cards. The small print on similar looking cards distinguishes the capability, not just in GB capacity, but the generation of chip and the speed for reading and downloading. I also own some Sony and Delkin memory cards, but SanDisk makes good stuff.

Both dives allow me to easily transfer files from my laptop to my desktop computers. I find it very easy to use.

Short review: I wanted to find a USB switcher I didn't have to worry (or even think) about at all. This is it. Long review: for context for the rest of this review, my use case is to switch a common set of USB devices (keyboard, mouse, and USB audio device) between a desktop and a laptop. I bought this unit after having a poor experience with a much cheaper USB sharing switch from another manufacturer. This other unit lasted about two years, then started to fail to switch between host computers, and also seemed to be allowing voltage from one host to pass through to the other. I'm not one to risk damage to the valuable computers I've got hooked up to these switches. I got rid of that unit, did some research, and picked this one up based on some other folks' recommendations. This unit isn't cheap, and seems to be marketed primarily toward business use cases, but so far it's working perfectly for my home office setup. It appears that I'm getting exactly what I hoped I was paying for: reliability and safety. I haven't had a single electrical gremlin show up since I began using this. It automatically switches the three USB devices to my laptop when I plug it in, and switches back to the desktop when I unplug my laptop. I'd recommend reading the instructions and making use of the power supply.
