The media could not be loaded. After searching for more than 2 years for the perfect dock solution, this was finally the one that convinced me to take the plunge. Anker Prime TB5 Docking Station works great with my setup. It easily connects my MacBook Pro Max to two big Samsung 4K screens without any delay or blurry images. My mic and speakers work perfectly when plugged in.I can charge several things at once - my iPad Mini, MacBook Air, and Apple Watch - and everything charges fine. The dock looks nice and doesn't take up much space, which keeps my desk tidy and gets rid of all those extra cables and adapters.Bottom line: The Anker Prime TB5 Docking Station is a solid choice if you use multiple devices. It makes work easier and keeps everything organized.Heads up! Before buying the Anker Prime TB5 Docking Station, make sure it works with your computer, especially if you want to hook up more than one screen. For Mac users with M1, M2, or M3 chips, you'll need to have a MacBook Pro Max model to connect to three displays. If you have a regular M1-M3 Mac, you'll face limitations. Only the newer M4 Pro models can properly handle multiple external displays without being a "Max" version.Important to know: This isn't just an Anker TB5 dock issue - it's how Apple designed their chips to handle displays. All docking stations will have the same limitations when used with Apple computers, as the restriction comes from Apple's hardware, not the dock itself. So be aware that switching to a different brand of dock won't solve this problem.Some computers don't play nice with multiple displays through docking stations, so check your computer specs first to avoid disappointment.

Amazing docking station perfect for connecting 2 external displays with usb c connections. Internet is super fast and no issues so far. Worth the money

Just received mine, plugged in my two monitors: One large 4k TV over HDMI, and a 27" 4k monitor over DisplayPort to Thunderbolt cable. Also connected an external 4TB SSD, then connected a cheap USB hub with my RME audio interface, keyboard, and mouse. I have a MacBook M4 Pro, and as soon as I plugged in the uplink with the supplied cable, it asked if I want to connect the accessory, I clicked allow, and it all came alive! Very pleased that is took less than 3 minutes from the box to fully working!As long as this lasts, and I will update if it doesn't, then this is well worth the money. The build quality is excellent, well packaged, and I love the convenience of the port placements. The only thing I have plugged into the front is my SSD, so it makes it really easy to pull that out, and take my laptop with me.I've been a PC user for decades, and finally I switched to a MacBook mainly to have silence in my home studio. If this thing makes any noise at all, I can't hear it.

If you don't want to read my whole review.... just buy these for a flawless experience and save your money. You'll have a bunch of cables which is annoying but so much easier."Cable Matters 48Gbps USB C to HDMI 2.1 Adapter for macOS""UGREEN USB C to Ethernet Adapter, 10Gbps Data Port 6-in-1 Hub"I am a huge ANKER consumer and I rarely write reviews, I need to warn anyone looking at this. The product claims for this dock are lies. It says it supports HDMI 2.1 and Displayport 1.4. HDMI 2.1 is 48Gbps bandwidth, DisplayPort 1.4 is 32.4Gbps. The HDMI 2.1 port only allows 60hz to external 4K monitor when using the laptop screen or a second monitor, however, the displayport allow 4k monitor 240hz and Laptop screen standard variable refresh rate. If you use 1 single 4k monitor it'll work 240hz via the dock HDMI, but you can just use your HDMI port on the laptop for this same experience. The reason to get a dock is to have MULTIPLE monitors at a higher refresh rate without multiple cables. I'm fine with 120hz or 144hz but it needs to work on both external monitors via this DOCK, otherwise pointless.According to their MANUAL with a Macbook Pro M4 I should be able to run one DisplayPort 1.4 + one Thunderbolt C Upstream (2 total 4k monitors) at 144Hz refresh rate. This should be 100% the case with HDMI + USB-C upstream IF it was actually HDMI 2.1 because as noted above, HDMI 2.1 has higher bandwidth than displayport 1.4. But this is absolutely not possible, which means it's not HDMI 2.1. I tried all combinations to dock and also directly to laptop. None of these allow two 4k monitors at 144hz or 120hz, most of the time, only 1 Monitor works, 9 out of 10 times can't even get 2 monitors to display. Also, everytime I switch a display cable, I have to open the laptop to get the external display to turn on, very bizarre, it should just work.I checked for firmware update, it has most recent firmware.Don't waste your money if you want 2 high resolution monitors with decent refresh rate. You can just purchase a USB dock from a company like UGreen for $30 and have extra USB ports, and get the HDMI 2.1 adapter from cable matters (both listed above) because the whole point of getting a fancy expensive DOCK is to hook up multiple monitors and USB devices and have it all run with ease, no extra cables. There's no way this has HDMI 2.1 / firmware may need update / or they have a component inside with HDMI 2.0 limiting bandwidth. Hopefully it's just a firmware update. Even if they fix the HDMI 2.1 issue, still so buggy when trying to use 2 external monitors.I am using 2 ASUS PG32UCDM monitors (they work great no issues to my PC via HDMI 2.1). They also work great when using the M4 Pro HDMI direct port and cable matter USB-C to HDMI 2.1. Not sure why ANKER can't figure it out with all their products and experience.
