    5.0 out of 5 stars Works with inbuilt screen plus 2 4K monitor for MacBook Pro
    Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    I recently purchased the Belkin dock to enhance my MacBook Pro 2020 (13-inch) setup, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations. The primary reason for my purchase was to find a reliable docking solution that could support two 4K displays in addition to the MacBook's built-in screen. This dock manages to do just that brilliantly.

    Setting it up was straightforward; I connected one monitor via HDMI and the other through DisplayPort. Both screens work seamlessly, providing crisp and vibrant visuals without any lag or distortion. An added bonus is the dock's ability to charge my MacBook, which helps reduce cable clutter and keeps my workspace neat and organized.

    Overall, if you're in the market for a dock that supports multiple high-resolution displays and offers the convenience of charging your MacBook, the Belkin dock is an excellent choice. Highly recommend for any MacBook Pro user looking to expand their display capabilities!

    1.0 out of 5 stars More trouble than it’s worth.
    Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    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.

    4.0 out of 5 stars could use a longer cord
    Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    I need, like, 3 more inches of cord to be able to have this to sit squarely under my laptop riser while also reaching the port and having a usb plugged into the back. It's just my setup, of course, but I remember reading before I bought it that other people said similar things and I have to agree.
    Otherwise, it works as intended. I can plug in all the peripherals that I need, plus an ethernet cable, into my on-the-left-two-port-only MacBook.

    3.0 out of 5 stars It's ok. May work for some but has some design weak points
    Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    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

    This is the best dock I've used at the low $100. Most don't work as smoothly or easily integrate.

    Dieses grandiose Thunderbolt-Dock habe ich lange gesucht. Herzlichen Glückwunsch an das Marketing von belkin zu dieser Produktkonzeption. Nachdem ich verschiedenste Geräte namhafter Hersteller recherchiert und mehrere erprobt hatte, löste endlich belkin das Problem. Alle erprobten Geräte haben gnadenlos die Batterie des MacBooks geladen, dazu natürlich ein Netzteil benötigt und am Ende die Bedienung der Bildschirme dennoch nicht sichergestellt. Ich kann nun mit diesem belkin Thunderbolt-Dock in Verbindung mit meinem MacBook Pro mit M2 Pro-Prozessor
    -zwei externe 24-Zoll-Bildschirme im erweiterten Modus bedienen,
    -den LAN-Anschluß/Internet und 2 USB-Schnittstellen am Hub zuführen und
    -das alles über ein einziges Thunderbolt-Kabel am Macbook anschließen!
    Dabei muß ich nicht zwangsläufig die Batterie des MacBooks laden, da die o.g. Thunderbolt-Verbindung mit dem Rechner keine Ladefunktion generiert, wenn kein zusätzliches Netzgerät (beispielsweise das originale MacBook-Laderät) an der Thunderbolt-Eingangs-Steckverbindung des belkin angeschlossen wird. Diese Betriebsart (in der alle oben beschriebenen Funktionen aus dem MacBook mit Energie gespeist werden) ist mir außerordentlich wichtig, da ich mit allen MacBooks bisher immer extrem lange Batterielebensdauern erreicht habe, indem ich die Batterien grundsätzlich immer erst vollständig (auf ca. 15 %) entladen habe, bevor ich sie lade und nach Ende der Ladung im Netzbetrieb belasse, sofern kein mobiler Einsatz ansteht.
    Obendrein kann ich das MacBook im geschlossenen Zustand belassen und so auch starten durch einfaches Zuschalten des Apple-Netzgerätes am MagSafe-Anschluß.
    Gelegentlich kommt der zweite Bildschirm beim Erwachen aus dem Ruhezustand mal nicht gleich mit, dann wird halt noch ein Neustart gemacht (was beim M2 Pro gerade mal 20 sec dauert). Das Problem haben aber alle von mir getesteten Geräte.

    Station d'accueil qui fait très bien le job sur un Macbook pro, avec une puce M1 Pro. Possibilité d'avoir 3 écrans distincts (2 externes + Macbook), du réseau en RJ45, et l'alimentation du Macbook.
    A noter tout de même que l'un des écrans externes doit avoir une sortie Display port. Cela ne fonctionnait avec deux câbles HDMI et un adaptateur Display port sur le boitier.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad…but

    I have had this for almost an year. It was great value for money for supporting 2(two) 4K monitors. I had searched a lot and there was nothing available at this price. To that extent this is good.
    BUT ..2 issues
    1) It’s a bit wonky and sometimes doesn’t recognise the signal & I don’t see anything in the monitor…so I have to reboot the windows machine. It’s happened sufficient number of times that it does bother me.
    2) the rigid short cable that connect to the laptop invariable gets disturbed if the machine moves just even a bit and that has resulted in the usb-c port on the machine becoming loose ie again sometimes it just doesn’t connect and I have to fiddle with it which is not good for the port.

    Otherwise, it seems to work well…I use it both for my Dell XPS and now mostly for my Mac Mini M1(it will stay on it from now on)

    Funciona perfecto para MacBook Pro M1
    Había tenido problemas con otros docks con la conexión a internet, por tema de drivers, pero este a la primera sin complicaciones.

    I bought this device twice and both of them had a problem with high pitch electronic noise as soon as I plugged it in. Belkin seems to use cheap electric components for this one.
