Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Dock Core With Thunderbolt 3 Cable - Usb C Hub - 7-In-1 Docking Station For Macs & Windows, 60W Upstream Charging, With Gigabit Ethernet, Displayport & Audio Ports

Works perfectly with my MacBook Pro with M1 Pro chip. I have two 4k@60 monitors, ethernet, webcam, power, and speakers all working great! Such a good deal compared to other thunderbolt docks. Only issue is the short cable, but a thunderbolt extension cable addressed that.

Great little dock, I do wish it had USB-C inputs, but oh well for its low price it does anything I need to. It’s about as plug and play as it gets, the 60w charging isn’t as fast as I wish, but I don't notice it since I’ll leave my MacBook plugged into it overnight. That being said if you’re using an Intel based MacBook Pro the 60w might not be able to keep up with the power demand of the laptop. The designs simple, I with my mediocre 3d modeling skills managed to make a mount for it so no complaints there. All in all it does what I need it to and nothing more it fits its “Core” branding perfectly.

Read the fine print with this thing. If you want it to output power through the dock’s built-in cable that you use to connect the dock to your laptop/tablet/etc., you need to have a 60 watt minimum charger/power supply feeding in to the dock. So you know the Thunderbolt 3 power supply that comes with your MacBook? It’s only 30w. So unlike basically every other USB-C dock, you can’t just use your laptop’s power supply, plug it into the dock and then plug the dock into that machine. You’ll likely need to buy a separate 60w charger just to power this dock. Where does that extra power go? Beats me, because you don’t get power from the USB-A ports. So you can’t charge *anything* other than the connected laptop via this dock. *The USB-A ports do not send power.* Also, every time your computer display goes to sleep, HDMI-connected monitors disconnect. So if you’re inactive for a little bit and your display turns off, you will need to physically unhook the dock and reconnect it for the external monitor to reactivate. I tried to contact Belkin tech support. Chat support can’t help you, because they’ll let you know that they’re not trained to support the docks — you have to call. I tried calling for hours only to get disconnected and hung up on literally every time I tried to enter menu selections. I went back to chat support to try to get help even reaching the correct support people, and I finally got a workaround via that route and was able to reach a human. But ultimately the support person I talked to wasn’t able to do anything for me, because this dock is as bad as it seems. You are truly better off getting one of those no-name $30 USB-C docks. Yes, you sacrifice Thunderbolt 3 speed, but I’ve had a much better experience with connected monitors, charging USB-A devices, and otherwise *doing the things you’d expect a dock to do* for about 1/5th of the price — and in a much more travel resilient body, as well. As soon as I submit this review, I’ll be ordering one of those. UPDATE: As claimed, I ordered a $30 USB-C dock immediately after posting this review. I’m so much happier with the cheaper item. Save yourself the money and the trouble.

I bought this knowing that I would have to make tradeoffs. I wanted a travel-sized docking station that I can use with both a Mac and a PC. While the size is great, the tradeoffs were more limiting than I liked and, most importantly, the USB ports do not work at all with my mouse and keyboard on my PC. My PC is an IBM ThankPad P52. My Mac is a brand new MacBook Pro 13" Let's start with the trade-offs. I know when ordering this that (1) it would no power my P52 and (2) that it would not support extended desktop display with my Mac. The power tradeoff was fine. I don't expect to have a docking station that will work with both my Macbook and my PC that will power the P52. Similarly, I don't mind not being able to extend a window across two screens. I never do that anyway. I have some windows on one screen and other windows on the other. So long as I can drag application windows from one window to the next, I'm happy. There are two reasons that I had to return this: first, the USB ports do not work with my PC; and second, the ethernet connection does not work with either laptop. Another reviewer stated that the USB ports on his item were defective, but I believe that they were likely not dead, but just didn't play well with his laptop. The reason I say this is that my USB mouse (a Posturite "Penguin" handheld grip USB mouse) and my keyboard (a Kinesis Advantage Pro USB keyboard) are not recognized by my PC when plugged into the docking station, but ARE recognized by the MacBook. Note that both mouse and keyboard are recognized when plugged directly into my PC's USB ports. In fact I've been using this mouse and keyboard for years on multiple computers and with other docking stations with no issues. I didn't test with other keyboards or mice. I have had RSI issues in the past and rely on these expensive and excellent mice and keyboards, have never had compatibility issue with them with any other device, and they are quite expensive. I'm not replacing my keyboard or mouse to accommodate a docking station. Also annoying is that if I connect an ethernet cable from my router into the docking station, I cannot use it to get Internet on either my PC or Mac. I have to switch to Wifi. When I connect the ethernet cable directly into my PC, I get Internet through it. If I can't use my mouse or keyboard with the docking station and if I can't take take advantage of the stronger and more stable Internet connection through an ethernet cable, then this is not much of a docking station. Normally, I've had go experiences with Belkin products. According to their website, Belkin recommends their Belkin USB-C® Dual Display Docking Station, INC002 for Macs with the new M1 chip. I've ordered one of these. Even though I don't need to connect multiple displays, hopefully it will at least let me connect my ethernet, mouse, and keyboard to both my PC and Mac.

This works great. I can charge my phone or other device - I can charge my computer through it. It has 2 UCB-A ports and an HDMI and a Display port. Ethernet port and audio out 3.5mm - all seem to work great. I wish it had a USB-C port so I could plug in my external hard drive - only USB-C port on it is for charging- I should have looked closer. Not an issue with the device just my error. I would buy it again for my MacBook Pro- takes 1 port for all of my devices and expands my capabilities.

I purchased this dock for 2017 MacBook Pro 15. It generally worked but here is what I observed: Pros: - reasonable set of ports provided - support for 2 4k @60Hz via DP and HDMI (one of each), which is reasonable for these days - gig ethernet - no unreasonable amount of obsolete USB-A ports - power passt hru Cons: - the hard-attached cord to your computer is too short and somewhat "hard" - the "star" design. Each side has some cables coming out. It makes it hart do hid it behind you screen or close to some wall. - power pass-thru somehow registered as only 45W (compared to 60W advertised) with my 61W Apple brick. This may be a design limitation and probably my oversight. - unnecessary audio port. It's surprisingly annoying on Macs because you cannot simply disable it and it gets in the way as selected Audio Out quite often. Ultimately I ended up returning the dock and went with CalDigit Dock Mini DisplayPort version, which has no support for power but fits better my use case

Just brilliant!!

Not sure why but it just stopped working. I have a anker charger plugged into it so that shouldn’t be an issue. Would only output one display randomly then nothing.
