In total, there are 11 ports on the Satechi Thunderbolt 4 dock. There are three Thunderbolt 4 ports, four USB 3.1 type-A with speeds of up to 10 gigabits per second, a Gigabit Ethernet networking port, UHS-II card readers, and a discrete 3.5mm headphone jack. An external power adapter is included for high-powered external peripherals.

It can output dual 4K HDMI video, support up to 40Gbps of data transfer and deliver up to 96W of power.

USB-C Multimedia Adapter M1

Satechi says the USB-C Multiport MX adapter was designed specifically for M1-based machines. It includes dual 4K HDMI outputs, up to 100W of USB-C PD charging, micro/SD card readers, USB-C, and USB 3.0 type A.

Would love to know if I can plug-in 2 LG 5K displays into the TB4 dock and have them run off a single connection to my M1Max MBP. Assuming it does, I'd grab one in a heartbeat.

Though the layout always puzzles me on these docs. Ideally ALL the permanently plugged in cables should be in the back (including the one for the host computer).

Really nice. Love multiple Thunderbolt ports on a dock. This must be a new TB4 feature?

but to nitpick: could they have added a 10Gb Ethernet port? With everything else about this dock looking high-performance, it’s an unfortunate omission. But I guess you can’t check every box on everyone’s list.

Why do manufacturers of these kinds of docks hardly ever do DisplayPort?

There are a ton of docks/hubs with DisplayPort. Have you looked?

You can't do 2 5K into the same TB controller. TB4 doesn't increase the bandwidth, just guarantees the full 40Gb. If you want to hook up 2x 5K, then you need something like the Hyper Dual monitor dock which plugs into 2x TB ports. A 5K uses more than half the 40Gb bandwidth, so 2 will not operate on the same controller. New MBP M1s have 3 TB controllers (one per port), so you can run good resolutions on each port.
