⚡ At a Glance
- • Connectivity: 14 ports including multiple USB-C (10Gbps and 5Gbps), USB-A, two HDMI, DisplayPort, 2.5Gbps Ethernet, SD and TF card slots, and a headphone/mic combo jack
- • Best for: Power users and hybrid professionals who need multi-monitor setups, high-watt charging and many peripherals
- • Not ideal for: Casual users who only require a single-monitor, low-power docking solution
Triple external displays are supported, including one 8K output or triple 4K at 60Hz. Upstream 140W power delivery plus multiple high-speed USB ports enable laptop charging and fast data transfers.
Productive triple-monitor workflow - thanks to DisplayLink triple-display with one 8K output
DisplayLink-driven graphics allow three external monitors to run simultaneously, with one output capable of 8K and the other two supporting 4K at 60Hz. The latest DisplayLink driver must be installed for macOS and Windows to enable multi-display functionality.
Run many windows and apps across three screens for efficient multitasking. One 8K-capable output gives extra resolution for detailed timelines, spreadsheets or design work.
Reliable laptop charging and fast transfers - with a 140W upstream port and multiple high-speed USB-C ports
A 140W USB-C upstream port handles high-watt power delivery for larger laptops while two front USB-C ports offer 100W at 10Gbps and an additional 100W 5Gbps USB-C port for charging and data. Several USB-A ports cover a range of legacy speeds from 5Gbps to 480Mbps.
Keep a laptop topped up during heavy use while moving large files quickly between external drives. Front high-speed ports streamline charging for peripherals and secondary devices.
Stable temperatures and clear status feedback - with a built-in fan, ActiveShield 3.0 and smart display
An integrated cooling fan works alongside ActiveShield 3.0 to manage internal temperatures, while a smart display shows real-time charging power, display performance, fan mode and settings. The fan helps maintain sustained performance under load.
Maintain consistent performance during long sessions without sudden throttling. Quick status checks on the smart display reduce guesswork about power and thermal state.
