It’s all great, but it comes at a price.
No HDMI 2.1 Is a Major Letdown
Let’s get the bad out of the way first.
This is a bit of a letdown when you consider how many 4K120 monitors are on the market today.

Being locked to 4K60 could be considered a pretty big drawback for many.
It would be much more practical to have the main plug on the back for a cleaner setup.
This dock also boasts a quality feel thanks to the majority of the parts being made out of aluminum.
Plugable’s latest Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 docking station delivers ample I/O for the high-end setup, though HDMI 2.1 is notably lacking. However, you’ll find three Thunderbolt 4 ports with full 40Gbps capability for hooking up SSDs and more, as well as delivering 2.5G ethernet and up to 96W of certified charging to your computer all through one cable.
This lets you leverage dual displays right out of the box, without having to buy anything else.
Should You Buy the Plugable Thunderbolt 4 Dock?
