Belkin Connect Pro Thunderbolt 4 Dock

An expensive, but versatile 12-port dock for pro users

- CLIFF JOSEPH

There's no shortage of docks available these days, although choosing the right one can be difficult as they all tend to offer different combinations of ports and connectors. That's not a problem with Belkin's new Connect Pro Thunderbolt 4 Dock, which provides no less than 12 different ports for connecting just about every type of device or peripheral that you can think of.

Despite that plethora of ports, the Connect Pro is surprisingly compact. Its sturdy metal case stands just 1.3in high, 7.9in wide and 2.9in deep, so it'll fit under a monitor on your desk. It's not portable, though, as it requires a mains power supply to handle all your connected devices.
