    Does this support dual external monitors when connected to a Macbook?
    I have a Dell dock, and only one external monitor is supported (I can plug in the 2nd one, but the content will be mirrored of the 1st)
    Thanks

      If you have M1, M2, or M3 (non-Pro, non-Max) CPU based Macbook Pro or Macbook Air, then you only get 1 external display via USB-C through Thunderbolt 3/4/ USB 4. If you want more than 1 external display out, DisplayLink support is required (but that's not really native display).

      • PilonDo on 23/02/2024 - 07:40

        I have a non M1 MacBook Pro (2019) and I’m having the same problem. I’ve tried display link manager to no avail. Any suggestions?

          Intel Mac should be able to support multiple external displays. have you check settings on your Mac?

          Unfortunately I'm pretty sure a dock like this uses something called Displayport MST to achieve multiple outputs. There's no support for it on macOS, but an Intel based Mac, when running Windows via boot camp (which supports Displayport MST), can drive more than one display from a dock like this.

        • Averell on 23/02/2024 - 12:48

          I have one Intel MacBook Pro 2020 and one M1 Max 2021. Neither of them support dual external monitors. I tried with a Dell Dock (WD19TB) and also with a Dell monitor which supports daisy chain.

          People told me that that's Macbook's limitation.

      it says in the specs: "Connect Dual 4K HD displays @ 60Hz"

      Only if you MacBook supports Dual Displays, of course. :-)

        Lol thanks. I have a 2 year old Windows ultrabook that I just want to hook up to an external monitor, keyboard, mouse and power outlet to, would this suffice or do I spring for the $368 dock which I know works at my workplace?

        • netsurfer on 22/02/2024 - 23:25

          You need to check whether your Windows ultrabook supports Thunderbolt 3 or 4 or not. If not, it is best not to buy it.

          There are quite a number of USB-C dongles / docks. The latest version actually offers more features than this. However, they more expensive than this one (and you need to have a laptop that's new enough). There are also cheap USB-C dongles around (if you only care about 1 external 4K/60Hz display, and are happy with USB 3 5Gbps speed). It's best you provide more information about your ultrabook because USB-C and Thunderbolt are actually a mess in reality.

          The $368 has more 10Gbps USB-A ports and USB-C ports. That one is more of a proper Thunderbolt dock. This one has only 1 10Gbps USB-A port and a USB 2.0 USB-A port. Its main selling point is for someone who has a compatible Thunderbolt port, wanting 2 external displays and just bare minimum USB-A ports.

          I can't say if this is a great product from a tech perspective. But I've been running it for 18 months no prob. And it lets me run multiple devices as well as switch between 4 laptops/Desktops. I uses HDMI though not USB-C for the display. Which is good for me as I run a second hub for a second monitor.

                @tommynolips: It's a mess and the mess will continue for USB-C, Thunderbolt 3, 4, 5 and USB 4. There are currently:

                • USB-C/DP 1.2 Alt-Mode (4K/30Hz), even Apple has two USB-C digital AV dongles, first version is DP 1.2 only.
                • USB-C/DP 1.4 Alt-Mode (4K/60Hz)
                • Thunderbolt 3/DP 1.2 Alt-Mode (4K/30Hz)
                • Thunderbolt 3/DP 1.4 Alt-Mode (4K/60Hz)
                • Thunderbolt 4/DP 1.4 Alt-Mode (4K/60Hz)
                • USB 4/DP 1.4 Alt-Mode (4K/60Hz)
                • USB4/DP 2.0 Alt-Mode (8K/60Hz without compression)
                • Thunderbolt 5/DP 2.0 or 2.1 Alt-Mode???

                Intel could technically introduce a new version of Thunderbolt 4 supporting DP 2.0 alt-mode. All that just for display.

                  +3

                  @netsurfer: We need to stop conflating USB-C with USB3.

                  USB-C, or USB Type-C, is a 24-pin connector (not a protocol) that supersedes previous USB connectors and can carry audio, video and other data, e.g., to drive multiple displays, to store a backup to an external drive. It can also provide and receive power, such as powering a laptop or a mobile phone. It is applied not only by USB technology, but also by other protocols, including Thunderbolt, PCIe, HDMI, DisplayPort, and others. It is extensible to support future standards.

                  • netsurfer on 23/02/2024 - 10:55

                    @macrocephalic: Well, that's another mess with USB, Does your USB3 include USB 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.2 Gen 2 and 3.2 Gen 2x2? Not to mention for older products, 3.1 = 3.2 gen 2, but on newer products 3.1 = 3.2 (gen 1).

                    So, instead of USB-C (which general public can understand, and people like you know the tech well can still understand), if I were to put or add USB 3, what should I use? USB 3/3.1/3.2/3.2 Gen 2/3.2 Gen 2.2 with DP 1.2 Alt mode? There are now USB-C dongles with 2 x 4K + USB-A 10Gbps support + USB-C 10Gbps support.

                    USB-A and USB-B ports do not support alt-mode, so if I were to use USB 3, I still have to include USB-C. That list is already messy and confusing.

                    The main point is to inform people that you cannot get Thunderbolt docks and expect them to work without issue on USB-C based tech (and vice versa). Some of them may work on both mode. Intel doesn't play nice, but wants USB4 to pass Thunderbolt 3 back compatibility. However, so far, it turned out to be an annoying mess. Also, Apple's digital AV dongle, it doesn't play nice with PCs (Apple doesn't care because that's designed for Macs). The confusing bit is that dongle is USB-C based, rather than Thunderbolt.

                      @netsurfer: Totally agree.

                      Kind of annoying that all these versions and designations and countless types etc within the ‘standard’ just makes it so much more work. Why name everything? Someone needs to tell USB-IF what the point of a name is.

                      Reference

                      Things and human beings are named for easy reference. When we want to refer something in our conversation, we use their names only. That single reference relieves us from unwanted and unnecessary details. As when we want to refer to the tower of Paris we mention Eiffel Tower, which makes us free from stating other details.

                      Yet here we are. Definitely, totally, free from stating details. Oh yes , usb3.2 gen 1. Um, what the crap does that mean again? Or is it 3.1 gen 2? 3.2 gen 2? Is there a gen 3 or a 3.3? No wait, it’s usb3.2. That ain’t right. Oh yes it’s USB3.0. Nope that’s PD. Wait how many watts is PD3.0. Or is it the same as 2.0? What’s the difference? Oh it’s just more profiles, cool, then sure, you can borrow my ‘USB3 USB Type C PD2.1 gen 2 20Vx5A 100W USB2.2 480gbps’ cable. I call it Frank.
