CalDigit’s Thunderbolt 4 Element Hub brings 7 extra ports to your MacBook at $190 (Save $40)

Reg. $230/$190

Amazon is now offering the CalDigit Thunderbolt 4 Element Hub for $189.99 shipped after the on-page coupon has been clipped. Down from $230, you’re looking at a $40 discount and one of the first chances to save this year. Today’s rare discount is a new 2023 low, as well. CalDigit sticks to the essentials with its Thunderbolt 4 Element Hub, delivering a mix of Thunderbolt 4 ports alongside some USB-A counterparts. Just one connection to the dock from your MacBook offers seven extra ports, including three full TB4 slots alongside four 10Gb/s USB-A expansions on the front. More ideal for MacBook Airs, there’s 60W power passthrough to go alongside support for a single 8K display or dual 4K 60Hz monitors. We dive into the experience in our hands-on review, too.

Those who can get away with Thunderbolt 3 specs may find that there’s another, even more compelling solution out there right now. Also on sale, CalDigit’s popular TS3 Plus solution arrives with a slightly less capable foundation of Thunderbolt 3 support as opposed to the newer standard used above. But it packs one of the more robust feature sets on the market and now starts from $220 at Amazon. With a full metal build housing all of the legacy I/O you could need, there’s as much as $80 in savings.

Then be sure to go check out the new Echo 11 Thunderbolt 4 Dock from Sonnet that just began shipping earlier this summer. The new release improves on one of the more capable form-factors on the market by adding in a 4K60 HDMI port so you don’t need a dongle to drive a monitor, as well as a 2.5GbE port. Our launch coverage details everything to expect.
