Amazon Basics Thunderbolt 4 Pro Docking Station

This is a great docking station! It has a durable metal casing, with just the right amount of ports, and a good compact size. I decided to try it out given that the competitors and "name brands" are charging around 2-3x the cost for a simple thunderbolt docks. I have been shopping a long time, and everything I was looking at was either incompatible, expensive, provided the wrong ports for my needs, or was too bulky. When I just wanted simple function. I have a MacBook Pro with a M3 Pro chip, and I'm generally happy with it, but it does not support MST and daisy-chaining. So, I have been looking for a good thunderbolt docking station that would allow me to upstream charge my laptop, and at least two downstream ports to cast my dual-monitor setup. I also thought it would be a bonus if I could attach my mechanical keyboard to a USB-A port, if available. When I came across this, it seemed like a perfect docking station to hook my entire desktop setup to, so I could easily connect my laptop and have it come to life. I have done heavy work if it is writing and debugging code, editing large files for photography projects, running VMs, etc. I have not yet run into any connectivity, speed, or quality issues while using this dock. I was very happy that it is so compatible with MacOS. Reading the many reviews on the competitors, they either didn't support every OS or it was grainy and slower with MacOS. I switch between my MacBook, or my dual-boot Lenovo with Windows and Linux. I will be testing with the Lenovo soon, to see the compatibility with all OS. I am so far very happy with the compatibility and simple yet high quality product. TLDR: If you want a simple docking station with a good performance at a reasonable cost, I would highly recommend getting this one!
