Kensington USB-C and Thunderbolt Dock, up to 100W Charging, Dual 4K, for Mac, Windows and Surface (K37010NA)

It’s hard to find a good Thunderbolt based hub that you can leave at your desk. This one is great.It has enough ports to satisfy the need to connect or have fixed connection for storage and peripherals. It can take a USB hub connection and support more available ports. Plus it has a method to power the laptop, and has a pass through Thunderbolt to connect a Thunderbolt device. Also has HDMI for my second display, and Ethernet, which I use to access devices over a switch.It was a great find, and it works as it should and as I need it. Better than a dongle, and it feels more like a docking station. Hope this helps.

I bought this Kensington Thunderbolt 3 docking station to expand my MacBook Pro M3 Ports and it does not disappoint.The two front facing usb c ports are 10Gbps, the rear usb c ports are thunderbolt 3 of which one is dedicated host port, so I’m not losing my thunderbolt ports which still is two.The there are 4 usb a ports one of which is 10Gbps. The Ethernet port works well and the headphone jack too. I use it mainly to connect my midi keyboard and my audio interface.I also have my Logic Pro library on external drive which is also connected to the TB3 dock. Lastly I have a LG 27 inch 4K monitor also connected to it via its HDMI 2.0 port.The dock also charges my MacBook Pro at 96W which is better than the 70W included charger. Only downside for me is the light stays on no matter if the MacBook is plugged in or not.All in all this dock is very well priced and is solid aluminium and feels really premium. Compared to other pricier options like the TS4 and TS3 the Kensington SD5560T thunderbolt 3 dock is a must have.

We just got it, but it works well so far. Ours has two 1920x1200 monitors (via HDMI and USB-C to DisplayPort), a wireless mouse, a webcam, ethernet, and a USB-C cable for phone charging attached and all work. I had to put the wireless mouse receiver into the front USB-A port for good reception. We've used it with a Lenovo Thinkpad with Thunderbolt 4, an M1 MacBook Pro, and an M3 MacBook Air.

This device would not connect to my new Lenovo Legion Pro 7i w/an Intel i9 running Windows 11 Pro version 24H2. When connected to the TP4 port on the machine, the dock would rapidly connect, disconnect, and reconnect. Sometimes it would stay connected just long enough to see it was being correctly identified in the Thunderbolt Control Center. It was totally unusable.I went through all of the basic troubleshooting steps including buying an (expensive) Intel Certified TB4 cable. I did find one problem that required me update the Intel Management Engine 16.1 Firmware on my PC, but that still didn't resolve the issue. I was running a (non Lenovo OEM) fresh install of Windows Pro 64 so I thought perhaps something had gone awry during the driver installation. As such, I went so far as to reinstall the Lenovo Image wiping out two weeks worth of OS tweaking and forcing me to utilize a Microsoft account to log in locally to the my own PC. It still wouldn't connect with the same results.Overall this was a huge waste of time, stress, and money. Now I get to deal with returning everything to Amazon, reinstalling the OS, and tweaking the OS. I spent well over 8 hours troubleshooting and now I've got at least another 4 hours to get everything back to normal.A couple more cons about this device: The power supply is physically very large. Almost as large as the power supply for my laptop. The power supply has a little oval that looks like a LED but it's not. It's just imprinted into the casing. This took me a while and some close inspection with (my old eyes) to figure out why it wasn't lighting up. Also, the dock itself has no power button. Once it's plugged in, the only way to power it off is to unplug it.On the pros side: The device itself is reasonably sized, is aesthetically very pleasing, and has a good selection of ports. One of my requirements for a doc was to have at least 3 USB ports and HDMI on the back, along with at least 1 of each USBC 3.2 / USB 3.2 on the front. This proved to be much more difficult than I expected.I suppose it's possible I received a DOA unit, but my guess is that there's some backwards compatibility issues with the new security features in TB4 (as this is a TB3 device). I'm just glad my new dock (TobenONE Thunderbolt 4 Dock UDS035) works and the TB4 port on my new laptop isn't bad.

I've become obsessed with 1 plug desktop setups, so when I found this dock with TB3 and all of the output options for under $100, I almost immediately pulled the trigger. It sits nicely on the desk, while having a reassuring weight to it. You can tell it's a high quality build, and it looks sleek and clean on the desk. HDMI pass-thru works flawlessly at 2k 60hz. It has plenty of ports for expansion (which I intend to use).The flaw is with the headphone output. I had the exact same experience as another reviewer: an audible pop when not playing audio, and on day 2, after resuming from sleep, the USB headphone output no longer shows up as a sound device. Kensington should consider upgrading the DAC in the next version of the product. There are a number of inexpensive chips that do a good job of removing any digital noise from the line.All in all, I'm very impressed with this dock (after a day of use), so I won't dock it the star, yet. Will update if that changes.
