There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I travel frequently for work, using my laptop on the road -- and also at the home office. I wanted to minimize the cables I have to deal with each time I come and go, and reserve options for easy expansion down the road in case I wanted to add more monitors, an attached drive, etc. I started researching Thunderbolt 3 docks, and was surprised to see how immature the market for these is.
It took a bit of research and reading, but as I homed in on Dell TB docks, I learned that last year's TB15 model turned out to be a big disappointment. The newer one listed here -- the TB16 -- is another story. It works, and becomes an invisible part of your setup that just does its job -- perfectly.
There are a few competitors that just finally hit the market over the past few months. But I still see the TB16 as a great option. The price has dropped from $299 down to less than $250 as I write this review. If you plan to use this dock with something like Dell's XPS 15 9560, be sure you get the version of the TB16 that ships with the 240W power brick: that's needed so the TB16 can output 90W over the USB C cable back to the laptop.
It's positively delightful for me that I can put my laptop on my desk now, plug in the single USB C cable that connects to the laptop, and I immediately have power, audio, and the 4K 60Hz signal shared via the dock with my 27" P2715Q 4K / UHD Dell monitor as well. This is incredibly convenient...and it just works.
Important note: Thunderbolt 3 seems to be just coming out of its infancy. With my laptop, it was important that I updated to the latest BIOS, and then install all the latest drivers for video, audio, USB, and - most importantly - anything related to Thunderbolt 3 and docks. Not doing this could leave you with a non-functioning configuration, but with current BIOS and drivers, it should work just fine.
Very happy with mine. I've been watching competing products come up, but still haven't seen another one that I would have gotten instead of the TB16. My only disappointment is that I jumped on this a few months ago, and paid closer to original list price for it, whereas the price has dropped well below $250 as I write this. Excellent solid product -- highly recommended.
Onto the device itself... Comes with the dock and a 240W power brick. The brick itself is MASSIVE, surprisingly so. Plan accordingly. Other than that, I have plugged in a DAS Keyboard, logitech wireless mouse, two Dell monitors (one via HDMI, the other via VGA, a nostromo gamepad, and an HP printer to the dock. The dock then connects to my Dell XPS 15 9550 via the included thunderbolt 3 cable. I do currently have Windows 10 installed on this laptop but frequently use Fedora as my main OS-- will update if decide to reinstall Linux as my dedicated OS on this machine, but for now, am content with the Windows 10 setup. From the setup described as above, I am able to charge the laptop with only the connection to the dock, while having a dual monitor setup not including the laptop screen itself. So far, absolutely no issues with the displays or the dock itself-- everything is working flawlessly. Will update after my wireless keyboard and mouse show up from Amazon (OnTrac was late as usual, requiring a customer service contact with Amazon to rectify the situation). I will update this review to reflect my experience after some more use, including use of the wired ethernet connection as well as the wireless keyboard and mouse I bought. As for now, could not be happier with this unit itself-- everything worked out of the box by just plugging in the cable. Granted, I have the most current bios and drivers for the machine installed before trying to connect the unit, so, I cannot attest to what your mileage might be.
Size, weight: It's pretty big for a dock. I'm coming from a Microsoft Surface Dock which is the about same width as this, but half as tall and half as deep. It's fairly light, but has a rubber bottom to keep it in place. I haven't had issues with it sliding around on the desk much.
Ports: Honestly, you'll never have enough USB ports. That's just life. What bothers me a bit about this dock is that there are two USB ports and a speaker port on the front of it, but the USB-C connection to your laptop comes out of the left side and is pretty short. That makes these three ports utterly useless. The ports on the back are fine. 4 USB, ethernet, power, VGA, HDMI, mini and regular displayport.
Reliability: There are some issues occasionally when switching from connected to not and the peripherals getting turned on when the laptop is connected but in sleep mode. That may be a Windows 10 issue though, not the dock.
Compatibility: Only issue I've found is when connecting to my wife's Lenovo. It does not recognize anything but power and the monitor. She's fine with that, but it seems odd.
I bought this as an open box Amazon Warehouse item, so I can't complain about the price. If I paid full price for this I'd be a little annoyed with some of these things, but I'd still be happy enough to keep it. There's a newer dock out there, so these issues may have been solved on the newer version.
