CalDigit TS4

The best overall — the most comprehensive port selection of any Thunderbolt 4 dock (many Thunderbolt/USB-C/USB-A ports, 2.5GbE, SD readers, audio, DisplayPort), 98W charging, dual-4K support, and rock-solid reliability. Premium-priced and needs a Thunderbolt/USB4 laptop, but the do-everything benchmark for serious desks.

The CalDigit TS4 offers the most comprehensive port selection of any Thunderbolt dock with rock-solid reliability. This Thunderbolt 4 dock has an enormous array of ports — multiple Thunderbolt/USB-C, many USB-A, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, SD and microSD readers, audio in/out, and DisplayPort — connecting essentially everything on your desk through one cable. It delivers a high 98W to charge even power-hungry laptops while docked, supports dual 4K displays, and CalDigit's reputation for reliable, well-built docks means it just works. The sheer port count means you rarely need extra hubs, and Thunderbolt 4 gives full bandwidth for storage and multiple displays at once. It's premium-priced, needs a Thunderbolt/USB4 laptop, and is more than a single-monitor user needs, but for the most complete, reliable, high-power docking, it's the benchmark professionals choose.
