Viewsonic Surface Monitor And Thunderbolt 4 Dock

Got this to connect my XPS 13 from 2016/2017 to my 27" thunderbolt Apple monitor. It worked straight out of the box. However I have a Dell TB16 dock as well. Tried using that as well. So the dock's usb-c connector goes into the XPS, and the Startech adapter goes from the dock to the Thunderbolt monitor. That didn't work: I needed to update the BIOS, Thunderbolt firmware, thunderbolt driver, and installed I believe the latest thunderbolt application from the Intel website. Everything works now, even the audio and usb ports on the monitor. (facetime camera doesn't work, since it can't find a driver). All in all good buy, but I can't connect my 2019 macbook Pro to my thunderbolt monitor with the startech adapter. Monitor does not activate. Seems to only work with Windows machines.

I currently use this switch to share a monitor's USB hub between my work laptop's thunderbolt dock and my desktop PC. It carries my keyboard, mouse, audio, and webcam data without a hitch! Love the price and glad it includes both USB type B cables.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We have several Lenovo USB-C and Thunderbolt docks deployed among our staff and they are always great performers and reliable. This Hybrid dock may lack Thunderbolt support, but so do many of our AMD-powered laptops - exactly why we were seeking a USB option. I appreciate the dual-monitor options of a combination of DisplayPort and HDMI outputs, having always found DisplayPort connections to be problematic. Even higher resolution displays are solid with this dock and some quality HDMI 2.0/2.1 cables. Quickly solved a resolution issue we had connecting a different dock to a 1440p ultrawide monitor with this. I also like that the cable to connect to the computer offers an attached USB-A connector for use with systems that do not feature a USB-C connection. Very versatile, even with slightly older systems.

Was having connection issues with a USB-C out from an MS Surface dock to a monitor that I had jury rigged with an adapter to get to HDMI. This seems to work a lot better.

Glad to have this coverage for my Viewsonic ProColor monitor.

I'm suing the Thunderbolt Dock as additional storage space to my existing Thunderbolt Lacie drives, I already had spare hard drives to use in the dock, all daisychained together ensures high speed transfer rates. The RocketStor Thunderbolt Dock was very easy to install & use on my Mac, solid construction that will last. Regarding design faults with this dock, they should have installed a double Thunderbolt port on the unit, for daisychaining devices, & the dock should be supplied with a Thunderbolt cable as standard.

Have had it for 2 weeks and glad I purchased this dock. Using the Sonnet Echo 11 Thunderbolt 4 Dock to expand my connectivity with a Macbook Pro. Have not used the ports for any displays, only external hard drives and speakers. Really plug and play.

This dock has everything I need: USB-A, USB-C, and Thunderbolt ports (with Power Delivery), a 10 Gbps Ethernet port for network-attached storage, an SD card reader, and (... wait for it ...) a CFExpress Type B reader! There may be other docks out there with a CFExpress Type B reader, but this is the only one I've seen so far. Since my cameras all use either SD or CFExpress Type B cards, this clinched it for me. It doesn't come cheap, though, but for me it was worth it.
