Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Dock Core With Thunderbolt 3 Cable - Usb C Hub - 7-In-1 Docking Station For Macs & Windows, 60W Upstream Charging, With Gigabit Ethernet, Displayport & Audio Ports

SETUP: Running the Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Dock Core on macOS, there are no drivers or applications to install, so the unit is plug and play right out of the box. GENERAL: I configured the Belkin hub with a 2016 MacBook Pro and used it to drive two 1440p displays, while supplying power, USB, and ethernet to the laptop. After using the Dock for a week, it performed flawlessly, with not so much as a hiccup to give any concern for its reliability and stability. The high definition signal passed to the monitors was everything you would expect. STRENGTHS: No set up required, compact size, and works flawlessly right out of the box. The Thunderbolt 3 Dock Core expands the functionality of the notebook to support multiple high-performance peripherals as one would have with a full desktop. WEAKNESSES: The cable attached to the dock is quite short and does not allow it to be located far from the MacBook (or other brand notebook) and takes up valuable space on the desk in the primary work area. The unit tends to run warm, but not so much as to make it a concern for the service life of the device. CONCLUSION: I highly recommend the Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Dock Core to expand the capability of any laptop by connecting multiple high-performance peripherals. It sets up quickly, runs flawlessly, and is very stable/reliable. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was super excited for this because I am always creating videos and the fastest way to get the videos from the phone to the computer is through a cord. This helped me bring over several videos without the need of more space on my google drive or Dropbox. This is definitely a lifesaver .
