Satechi launches 16-in-1 Multimedia Pro Dock with Thunderbolt 4

The Thunderbolt 4 Multimedia Pro dock is "meticulously crafted with creative professionals and content creators in mind." To that end, the 16-in-1 dock is packed with all sorts of features that anyone working in the creative field will more than likely be able to take advantage of.

The exterior is sleek and won't take up a lot of space, and it's manufactured from aircraft-grade aluminum. It also comes with a rubber stand pad so you can stand the dock up vertically, based on your needs.

The Thunderbolt 4 Multimedia Pro dock is equipped with ports for external displays, SD card slots, 2.5Gbps Ethernet, and several different USB options.

Satechi notes that Mac only supports Single Stream Transport (SST) and not Multi-Stream Transport (MST), like Windows 11 does. So this means if you hook up four external monitors, the dock will "output video in extended mode to two screens and mirror the other two."

If you're using a Mac with M1 or M2, they only support one external monitor, which means "only one single video group can be used at a time with output to one screen in extended mode and one screen in mirror mode."

Satechi's Thunderbolt 4 Multimedia Pro dock is available now from the company website, priced at $349.99 in the United States. It's also available now in the European Union, and coming later to the United Kingdom and Australia.

For folks on a budget but still want a solid hub to expand port availability, Satechi's Pro Hub Slim might be worth checking out.
