CalDigit TS3 Plus Thunderbolt 3 Dock

If you like the idea of the TS4 but want to save a bit more money, consider the CalDigit TS3 Plus Thunderbolt 3 Dock. When we looked at it in 2018, we thought it was a "great port expander" for users.

With 15 ports of connectivity, it's pretty expansive, with dual Thunderbolt 3 ports, DisplayPort 1.2, five USB-A ports, one USB-C 3.1 Gen 1, one USB-C 3.1 Gen 2, Gigabit Ethernet, three audio ports, and an SD card slot.

It can handle two 4K displays at 60Hz over DisplayPort and Thunderbolt, or one 5K 60Hz screen over Thunderbolt 3. As for power delivery, it can funnel 87W to a connected MacBook Pro.

The CalDigit TS3 Plus Thunderbolt 3 Dock has a list price of $239.95, but Prime members can secure it for $179.96.

OWC Thunderbolt Go Dock

OWC's Thunderbolt Go Dock is a great option for expansion, with it including a total of 11 ports. There's the host Thunderbolt 4 port as well as two more Thunderbolt 4 ports, one USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 2, a USB 2.0 port, HDMI, 2.5-gig Ethernet, SD card slot, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

One thing picked up on in our review of the dock was that it has its power supply built-in to eliminate the power brick, which made it a bit bulky but the benefit outweighed the size. We also found it to be a bit expensive, making this deal worth considering.

The OWC Thunderbolt Go Dock is usually priced at $349.99 on Amazon, but it's now down to $284.99 with the on-page coupon.
