USB 4 docks arrive with enough bandwidth for two 4K 120Hz displays

Among the 11 connectors on Plugable’s new dock are two HDMI 2.1 ports, 2.5Gbps ethernet, and a USB-C port capable of providing up to 100W of power to a connected laptop.

  • I want a dock that’s capable of 100w charging but I don’t 200 dollars want one

    • Eh, I waited around quite a while hoping to find something like this but eventually caved. I now have three cables that I plug into my MacBook Pro: MagSafe charger, USB C DisplayPort for 3840x1440 @ 144Hz, and USB C hub for audio / peripherals / storage. This way I can decouple charging from my external display and peripherals, so I am not constantly keeping my battery at 100%.

      That hub above I mentioned is a CalDigit Soho, which supports almost everything I wanted: USB C, 90W, DisplayPort and HDMI, type C and A female ports, SD card reader, and detachable USB C cable. The only issue I have right now is the lack of 4K 120Hz…
