What's better, a DisplayLink dock or a Thunderbolt dock?

For now, there's a case to be made that a DisplayLink dock is a better value: They're generally cheaper, more stable, and offer the potential for more displays. But if you're a gamer, the answer is not the same. Gamers should buy a Thunderbolt dock instead.The game changes, though, when Thunderbolt 5 debuts later in 2024. Then, Thunderbolt 5 bandwidth will shoot up to 80Gbps in both directions, allowing those docks to connect to four 4K displays at 144Hz refresh rates and offer improved charging. Again, Synaptics is competitive; its most recent DL-7000 chip allows four 4K displays to be connec

Why should I buy a USB-C hub or Thunderbolt docking station?

Laptops have generally begun replacing all of the legacy ports (the boxy USB-A plug, HDMI, SD card slots, and more) with generic USB-C ports. That's fine, but what if you have a wired printer or mouse or external SSD? You'll need to connect it to your laptop, and you might need the right physical port connector.If you have a fast external SSD or hard drive, the external throughput will certainly help you get the most out of your peripheral. And if you want to connect multiple displays, you'll need a USB-C hub (and preferably a docking station) with support for two display connectors.

How do I know whether to buy a USB-C hub or a Thunderbolt docking station?

USB-C hubs and Thunderbolt docks use the same physical USB-C connection. A USB-C port (and USB-C hub or dongle) use a basic 10Gbps connection, while a Thunderbolt port increases the throughput to 40Gbps. Ideally, you should see a small "lightning bolt" icon signal a Thunderbolt port, while an unmarked port may be just a generic USB-C port.Manufacturers, though, aren't forced to label their ports. Your best bet is to haul out your laptop's manual and check.Thunderbolt docks will only work with a Thunderbolt connection. You can buy a USB-C hub or dongle and connect it to a Thunderbolt port, but

My laptop has USB4, not Thunderbolt. Can I use a Thunderbolt dock?

USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 are functionally the same. Intel refuses to certify non-Intel platforms like AMD’s Ryzen for Thunderbolt, and the new Copilot+ PCs from Microsoft powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite chips are in the same boat.USB-C hubs work with basically anything with a USB-C port on it. Don’t worry about those at all.
