Our take

Verdict: The ultimate Thunderbolt 4 dock — practically every port you could want, at a price that reflects it.

The problem. Modern laptops have too few ports, and cheap hubs are unreliable bottlenecks. Why it matters. A great dock turns one cable into a full desktop and just works, every time. What it is. CalDigit’s TS4: a Thunderbolt 4 dock with around 18 ports, high-wattage laptop charging, fast data and a solid aluminium build.

Pros

Enormous port selection for a true single-cable desk
High-wattage charging powers demanding laptops
Reliable, premium build

Cons

Expensive
Has a small fan that can be faintly audible
Overkill if you only need a couple of extra ports

Who should buy it

Pros with port-hungry setups who want one dependable dock

Who should skip it

Light users — a cheaper hub covers basic needs for far less

Bottom line. The best Thunderbolt dock you can buy — buy it if your desk genuinely needs the ports.
