G'day all,

We are running further clearance promotion on the Kensington SD5750T Thunderbolt 4 Dual 4K Docking Station - Black. The promo is valid till Wednesday 30th April 11:59PM 2025 or till stocks last.

Discount automatically applied at checkout w/ free shipping Australia wide. We also ship to PO Boxes and Parcel Lockers.

Product details can be found here.
Note that the product specs mention it is 'designed for surface' however, it also works on Windows 10 & 11 laptops with Thunderbolt 4 port or MacBooks running MacOS Big Sur 11 with Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 port, and other compatible devices.

For mac users, it is also dependent on the chipset of the Mac. For eg: Mac with M1 chipset would only support single monitor functionality. Mac with M1 Pro or M1 Max chipset will support the dual monitor functionality.

Big thanks to @jaUtr65Hme for the below information:
“I've bought this a bit earlier and tested it 100% can be used on MacOS and general windows laptop.
MacBook Pro with M4 + 2 screens no problem.

Also for people asking plug types - AU plug included. Saying included as it comes with ALL major types of plugs even including UK/US/Japan one so it is possible to use it during international travel”

If you are still uncertain, I highly recommend calling Kensington support directly and they can verify the compatibility for you over the phone. Their number can be found below or via link here
1300 881 931 (product tech support) - 9AM - 5PM AEST(Monday-Friday)

We received a good response on our previous deal on this model however there was an uncertainty surrounding this dock based on its compatibility. This has now been cleared with compatibility confirmed across compatible Windows, Surface and Mac devices. Price has also been dropped further to $139.99 as an extended Easter promo special.

Any queries please feel free to ask below in the comments or DM me directly.

Thank you and best wishes,
Travis

        Hi all, we have cleared this with the manufacturer already. Despite being designed exclusively for surface, it works across Windows 10 & 11 laptops with Thunderbolt 4 port or MacBooks running MacOS Big Sur 11 with Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 port, and other compatible devices.

        Hope this helps.

            @AlexF: I cleared this myself the last time this deal was posted. It is not possible to make a dock that’s only comparable with surface only. To do so would be a massive engineering effort.

            This dock is compatible with most/all forms of windows/mac/microsoft laptops

            Hope that clears things up. It’s just optimised for surface which means as far as I can tell. Nothing. Feel free to validate via YouTube where they also show these docks working with Mac’s etc

Additionally, we will happily organise a pre-paid return label and expedite return process if you have a compatible non-surface device and the dock doesn’t work.

              @Ajsyd999: Yeah normally things branded like this:

              A. Comply with standards and are just validated with a specific device or device range to ensure there are no bugs whatsoever. Think of commodity hardware produced for Mac like external hard drives.

              B. Is just styled and branded to work with a specific device or device range.

              Obviously though that is potentially compatible with a large number of computers it's not feasible to test it and make sure it works with everything. For that we rely on the standards.

              Not wanting to be pedantic… but there are docks only compatible with Surface devices, specifically the official surface dock. It connects with the surface charger connector.

              @Ajsyd999: This is a weird argument/thread.

              It's a "thunderbolt" dock. Not a "Surface" dock.

              It can be "exclusively designed*" for any platform and that doesn't mean it's not going to work (as per protocol) on other platforms.

              *This is often a reference to the aesthetics and nothing to do with the underlying protocol/engineering.

      Hi @AFM7, not a silly question at all! Yep, it will plug and play with your USB 4 port however it may lack the dual monitor functionality. If you are working with a single monitor setup, then it should be no issues.

    FYI: works with non-Surface hardware:

    Compatibility

    The Kensington SD5750T has been designed exclusively for the Surface, but you can use it with MacBooks and other laptops as well. If you want to use this with a Mac, then it should have a Thunderbolt 3 port, and you need to use the latest version of MacOS (Big Sur 11). For Windows devices, you need to make sure that your laptop has a Thunderbolt 4 port. If your Windows laptop has a Thunderbolt 3 port instead, then you will not be able to connect to the dock via the Thunderbolt 4 host connector.

    • AssociatedGravitech @ Horizon Store (Gravitech) on 28/04/2025 - 13:19

      Hi @Bunnyburger
      The Ally has a "ROG XG Mobile Interface and USB Type-C combo port (with USB 3.2 Gen2, support DisplayPort™1.4)" as per specs. Kensington SD5750T dock suppports USB4 / Thunderbolt 4 ports. Thus, it wouldn't work to full functionality with with Ally unfortunately.

    This or the infamous k20a dell dock which can usually be had for nearly $50 cheaper (albeit, used)

    • summit on 26/04/2025 - 20:25
      +3

      I am no expert but I have one of the K20A docks - a Dell WD19TB Thunderbolt 3 dock, it has been decent for WFH for a while. But it struggles with dual 4k @ 60hz. I have to use one Display port cable and one USB-C to DP cable to get it working. Sometimes one monitor reverts to 30hz out of nowhere and it drives me nuts trying to figure out how to get it working again. I just bought one of these Kensingtons to hopefully make things simpler with the multiple TB4 ports.

      If you need dual 4k at 60hz, get the Kensington or at least make sure the Dell is a newer one than mine that is TB4 and supports dual 4k at 60hz

      • A female dog on 26/04/2025 - 20:45

        Brilliant thanks for the insight. Sounds like this dock is the way to go.

    • Marty131 on 27/04/2025 - 09:08

      Please post back with how you go, I also have same MacBook. I was under the impression that even the Pro M1 chips could only output one display over Thunderbolt (but a 2nd via HDMI), so am very interested if this dock can do 2 separate displays via one Thunderbolt connection.

      • MuscleRulz on 27/04/2025 - 10:24
        +2

        Hey Marty, this is from Kensington's website;

        "A MacBook Pro with M1/M2/M3 Pro can accommodate up to two external displays using either a Thunderbolt™ 4 docking station OR by connecting the monitors directly to the MacBook Pro using the Thunderbolt 4 and HDMI® ports. The M1/M2/M3 Pro chip will support up to two external displays with up to 6K resolution @ 60Hz."

        Now the way I interpret this (or want to interpret this) is that 2 external displays will work (via TB4), ONLY if using a Thunderbolt 4 docking station (which the SD5700T is…). If you don't have the TB4 docking station, you have to use the HDMI + TB4 ports directly on the MacBook.

        As you can see I'm an optimist Haha!! I shall report back with my findings… tba.

    I've got an M1 Macbook Air, and two docks I tried have weird issues where the monitor would flicker to black once every minute or two. May be caused by the PD cable plugged in, not sure. I've heard somewhere here on the forums that it affects a lot of docs. Does anyone know whether this one would suffer from the same problem?

    • AssociatedGravitech @ Horizon Store (Gravitech) on 28/04/2025 - 13:47

      Hey @huuuuugo,
      That may be a cable issue, or a dock issue, or both. This is a premium quality dock and would support single monitor functionality for your M1 Mac with the use of a premium cable.

    It's only detecting one external monitor at a time.
    Anyone try this with a similar setup?
