Sure, it's a pricey dock – and that price is going to stick a little more when you've just thrown down the cash for a MacBook Pro. We also particularly like the fact that if you don't want the dock on your desk, it's easy to mount it using the Vesa mounting holes. The Kensington SD5700T Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station comes with a three-year warranty, giving you some peace of mind – which is an especially nice thing to have considering this one of the more expensive docks on our list. You also get a 180W power supply, allowing you to charge multiple devices at once. It's well-equipped with ports, including four Thunderbolt 4 ports, four fast USB-A ports (including one for charging), an SD card reading slot, a Gigabit Ethernet port and an audio jack, it's absolutely stacked with features and can turn your working space into a digital powerhouse. We've selected the Kensington SD5700T Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station as our best dock for a MacBook Pro.
We've assessed them in terms of connectivity, price and performance, drawing on our own testing experience and online reviews. In this guide, we pick out the best docks for MacBook Pro, covering various price points to make sure there's something for everyone. Most docks will offer USB-A and USB-C ports as standard, while the higher-grade ones will have the aforementioned super-fast Thunderbolt 3 or 4 ports, which are especially useful if you want to plug in one of the best 4K monitors, or transfer large video files on or off a hard drive. With a good dock, you can plug in an external monitor to edit video, while also downloading data off a plugged-in hard drive using a fast-transfer port like a Thunderbolt 4, while also listening to headphones through a 3.5 audio jack, as well as charging up your phone, iPad and Kindle on their own spare ports.
You may find yourself wanting more room to juggle more things at once. While the MacBook Pro itself has its own ports, the number is limited, as is the transfer speed on some.
