Anker778 Thunderbolt Docking Station (12-in-1, Thunderbolt 4), 40 Gbps with Max 100W Charging for Laptop, Single 8K, Quad 4K Display, Ethernet, 6 USB Ports for Dell, HP Laptops and More(Gray)

We have replaced the Lenovo brand of docking station with these for our Enterprise environment (regardless of them being labeled as non-commercial). They are economical, and work without the hassle that the Lenovo thunderbolt docks were giving us. A much easier product to deploy and manage.

Update Nov 2024:I own an M3 Max Binned Version, and while I initially enjoyed using this dock, I now find several unacceptable issues that forced me to downgrade my review from 4 stars to 1 star. I currently use three monitors: the Studio Display, the LG DualUp (vertical), and the Alienware AW3225QF (240Hz). Unfortunately, this dock has proven to be almost worthless for managing them effectively, especially for high-performance setups.1. Issues with AW monitorWhile I don’t typically work with the Alienware monitor, the dock's performance with it is severely lacking:- DisplayPort: The refresh rate is capped at 120Hz with no HDR, and HDR is only available at 60Hz. Even then, the monitor flickers every few seconds, making it impractical.- HDMI: The dock only outputs 60Hz with HDR, far below the monitor’s 240Hz capability.- Direct Connection: When plugged directly into the Mac’s HDMI port, the monitor achieves 240Hz with HDR seamlessly, proving the dock is the limiting factor.2. LG DualUp Resolution IssuesUsing the dock’s HDMI port with the LG DualUp results in impractical resolutions that require constant adjustments to avoid eye strain. It’s frustrating and time-consuming to configure a monitor this way.- Direct Connection: Connecting the monitor directly to the Mac via USB-C to USB-C delivers flawless resolution out of the box with no need for adjustments.3. Studio Display Port:The only reliable port on the dock is the downstream USB-C port, which is used exclusively for the Studio Display. This severely limits the dock's utility, as no other ports can reliably handle even basic functionality for the other monitors.This dock does not live up to its advertised claims. Despite promising 8K60Hz support, it struggles with 4K240Hz and fails to manage multiple monitors effectively. Two of my three monitors—the LG DualUp and Alienware AW3225QF—must be connected directly to the Mac. The LG DualUp requires a USB-C to USB-C connection, and the Alienware must use the Mac's HDMI port. For a premium-priced product, this dock fails to deliver even the basics of multi-monitor management. I cannot recommend it to anyone needing a reliable docking station for professional use.Initial reviewSo far any issues with this dock, I got this at Nov before the Black Friday since I wanted to have a dock station for my personal computer and this is great for the price I paid for. I use this with my MacBook m3 max in clamshell mode with a dual monitor setup (5k and qhd). Build quality is great, looks nice at my desk and is great to have multiple ports and battery charging out of the box since I was always used to dongles. The only reason this is not a 5 star product is the lack of headphone jack, it really annoying but not a deal breaker if you have BT headphones or are willing to spend $20 for the apple EarPods usb c.

My desktop suddenly would not boot, and since it was purchased through a vendor I had to ship it in for repair. I wanted to use my gaming laptop that I take while traveling (MSI Cyborg 14 A13V) as a desktop in the meantime, so I looked into different Thunderbolt 4 docking stations.I settled for the Anker 778 since it was $200 on Prime Day. Received it, and everything is working great out of the box, plug-and-play. I have 3 27" monitors hooked up, keyboard, mouse, microphone and webcam. So far no power issues, and I can boot up games with no issue.One thing to note is that while I have a 1440p 144hz monitor, through the dock it only allows me to bump it up to 120hz which isn't a dealbreaker for me.All in all, I would recommend this dock.

The power button only works for the docking station. Dependsnon your device, this may be different. Overall, great device, works as it should, i cant say much about the resolution but works good for hd. The power supply is huge, that is to be expected and the device can get very warm. Very generous usb port counts. My biggest issue with it, no sound card. I purchased a usb sound card to use with it.

Great dock. I've been looking for one for a while. This checked all the boxes. I would recommend it. My only gripe is it does not have a non usb-c port on the front.

I bought this dock when it was released. It supports multiple monitors, I use mine with two 34" gaming monitors. I also use the USB A ports for the peripherals that need to plug into my laptop. THe performance has been flawless.

It worked great initially. However, the HDMI function stopped working after about a year, starting with signal degrading all the way to not working at all. Their customer care did try to fix it with me, so that's a strong plus. I stopped, though, at shipping the entire unit back to them to diagnose; it was just too much hassle. I'm still using it as a USB hub and a charger, which I guess is OK. I can't call it a winner, though.

A wonderful paperweight. Useless crap otherwise and despicably overpriced.Compatibility Issues: It doesn’t play well with my $400 KVM switch, only managing to turn on a single monitor.Poor Display Performance: The HDR at 144Hz is flickery and unreliable, making it unsuitable for high-quality displays.USB Charging Problems: The USB ports are ineffective at charging devices.Awkward Design: The port layout is bizarre, with display ports and USB ports oddly spaced out, wasting space in the middle.Terrible Support: Support is useless; drivers and firmware don’t update, and the software is worse than malware.Questionable Origin: It's produced by a disreputable Chinese company.
