The best Thunderbolt dock I’ve ever tested is on sale for 38% off
What makes the Kensington Thunderbolt 4/USB4 Quad Video Docking Station (SD5800T) a killer Thunderbolt dock deal? It’s not just about the price, which is at least $100 off right now. For me, what makes this Kensington SD5800T deal for $187 on Amazon so special is that this is my preferred premium Thunderbolt docking station in my list of the best Thunderbolt docks, and it’s on sale for a better-than-mainstream price. I’ve tested it and my SD5800T review backs it up: this is a top-of-the-line docking station. Kensington itself charges $310 for this dock, but they’re out of stock due to high demand. Amazon says the MSRP is $299, which means you’re saving more than $100 either way. Beyond that, the Kensington SD5800T is simply outstanding. Their docks are consistently good, but the SD5800T is one of those ultra-premium docks that not only includes both DisplayPort and HDMI ports but also includes boatloads of legacy ports, including USB-C and microSD/SD card slots. About the only thing that’s a little awkward is that the front charging port is USB-A; instead, the rear-mounted charging port is USB-C, which is more common. But that’s it. I think I can say with certainty that this is going to be an excellent year for Black Friday deals on docking stations, but this is one of the hottest ones and it’s already here. Score this deal while you still can! Save $100+ on this Kensington Thunderbolt 4 dock right nowBuy now on Amazon
