Anker Prime Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station
This Thunderbolt 5-compatible dock has 14 ports, fast charging for connected accessories, and a compact cube design. It also works with Thunderbolt 4 and USB4, though your speeds and data bandwidth will be more limited.
If you’re looking for a high-end desktop dock for your laptop, then theAnker Prime TB5 Docking Stationis a great deal right now. The Thunderbolt 5 hub is on sale right now for $340 from Anker’s online store and Amazon, a discount of $60 (15%) from the usual price.
This docking station has a whopping 15 ports, including 10 Gbps USB Type-A and USB Type-C ports, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, a headphone/microphone combo jack, Ethernet LAN, and two downstream Thunderbolt ports. It can also charge the connected PC at up to 140W, which means most laptops won’t require a separate power connection while using the dock.
With this dock, you can have a multi-monitor setup with a keyboard, mouse, extra storage, wired networking, and other connections all running through a single cable. Even though it’s built for Thunderbolt 5, it also supports Mac and Windows laptops with Thunderbolt 4 and USB4—you’ll just be limited to whatever data bandwidth your PC can handle.
Myreview of the Anker Prime TB5 Docking Stationwas published a week ago here atHow-To Geek, and the dock lived up to its claims in my testing. The only issues I had were the limited USB speeds on the downstream Thunderbolt ports, and the high price—this sale fixes the second problem.
You can buy the Anker dock from Amazon or Anker’s online store. Both listings are priced at $340, but the Anker page requires entering theWS7DV23H75OLpromo code at checkout to get the discount
