Amazon’s October Prime Days (October 10 and 11) is full of great Apple deals but one of our favorite docking stations is also up at a fifth off the reatil price. The Caldigit Thunderbolt Station 4 (TS4) is the most powerful Thunderbolt 4 dock that we’ve tested.
When we reviewed the TS4 we said “The TS4 has an almost absurd profusion of ports splayed across its front and back sides. With a profusion of useful ports and high-wattage charging, the CalDigit Thunderbolt Station 4 turns a laptop into a desktop powerhouse” and awarded it a rare 4.5 stars in our roundup of the very best Thunderbolt 4 docks for Mac.
All the USB (5x USB-A, 3x USB-C) and Thunderbolt ports (3x TB4) are super fast and offer impressive device charging—at the front, there’s a USB-C port with 20W power.
Wired Internet is 2.5 times faster than you’ll find on any other dock or hub tested here, if you have 2.5GbE (or above) compatible devices.
The 230W power supply is the most powerful of any dock we’ve tested, and the dock can charge a laptop at 98W.
In all it has 18 ports.
- Six USB-C jacks (three Thunderbolt 4/USB4 and three USB 3.2 Gen 2)
- Five USB Type-A jacks (also 3.2 Gen 2)
- One 2.5Gbps ethernet port
- Two memory card slots: SD UHS-II and microSD UHS-II
- Three audio jacks for input, output, and the in/out combo
- One DisplayPort 1.4 port
For its two October Prime Days Amazon is offering the Caldigit TS4 for just $319.99, down 20% from $399.99.
