Dell Laptop Ports

This is my first review I have ever written (buying computers sine the 1970's), and only because this CalDigit Element is so good I was compelled to write. I have a new Dell XPS 15 inch 9530. I had options of purchasing the Dell WD22TB4 hub (made for this laptop) or getting the CalDigit. After doing a lot of research I choose the CalDigit because of the vast amount of thunderbolt ports. My Dell laptop had some issues like 4 motherboard replacements, 3 speaker replacements, one screen replacement and one keyboard (ALL IN THE FIRST YEAR). I was hesitant to buy another Dell product. I have my OEM Dell power adapter plugged into the USB-C (right side) to power the laptop because the CalDigit only delivers 60 watts which is no problem. The laptop understands which power to use. What do I gain from this decision. I have 3 empty Thunderbolt 4 ports on the CalDigit and one Thunderbolt 4 port on the laptop free (the other TB4 is used to connect the CalDigit). So I end up with: 4 Thunderbolt 4 ports free 4 USB - A (10 gb) available I have the best of both types of ports. I rather make my own decision as to what the port does instead of a hub having only a set determined specific device ports. This unit out performs any hub I have ever had. In fact the CalDigit's construction is amazingly well built and looks good.

Helped my Dell laptop.

Installed into a Dell laptop and it works great!

Works fine on my new Dell Laptop

This maximizes the ports for a laptop and is easy to use.

Had to connect two monitors and the Dell D6000 has all the needed ports to make that happen!

No issues installing this into a Dell Precision workstation laptop.

This keyboard works well with my Dell laptop. Easy Bluetooth connectivity.

I use a number of external drives, so I needed more than the 4 USB 3.0 ports on my Dell Precision workstation. This card arrived quickly, installed easily and I'm very happy with the speed.
