Verdict
Dell WD19TB Thunderbolt Dock
7 / 10 Expert Rating
A high-charging-wattage Dell dock built for Precision mobile workstations, though it's a generation behind on Thunderbolt.
StarTech.com 2-Port Thunderbolt 4 Hub
5 / 10 Expert Rating
Does exactly one job, adding a second Thunderbolt port, and does it cheaply; not a dock replacement.
