Amazon is now offering the very first chance to save on the new CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt 4 dock. It’s dropping down to $319.96 shipped from the usual $400 price tag. This is $80 off and a new all-time low. It hasn’t budged from that MSRP all year, either. The new CalDigit TS4 Dock arrives with 18 ports all packed into a premium aluminum housing. There’s Thunderbolt 4 tech baked in as well, which lets you drive displays, connect to more expansive I/O, and receive power from a single device. We dive in to take a hands-on look over at 9to5Mac, as well. Head below for an all-time low discount on the CalDigit TS3, too.
The CalDigit TS4 features three full Thunderbolt 4 ports capable of 40Gb/s transfer speeds, as well as three USB-C slots. Legacy I/O is still kept in mind too, with five USB-A slots, as well. You’ll be able to drive a single 8K display from the hub, with dual 6K monitor support also making the cut without sacrificing on a 60Hz refresh rate. The 2.5GbE is also a nice touch, and rounds out the package with micro/SD card readers and a DisplayPort output.
If you can live without the latest specs, the previous-generation dock is also on sale. Right now, you can score the CalDigit TS3 Hub for $179.96. This is an even more notable markdown from its usual $300 going rate. There’s $120 in savings, while also beating our previous $240 mention from back in October. It’s the best discount ever, and a far better bargain as far as workstation upgrades go. I’d even go as far to say that this is the model you should get, even if you’re rocking a new M3 MacBook Pro.
I personally still use one of these every single day, and many other writers here at 9to5 do too. It has the same premium design as the newer TS4 Dock, just with a Thunderbolt 3 interface. There’s only 87W charging, as well as a drop down to 15 ports. But if you’re not planning to fully take advantage of the full bandwidth offered by a newer model, this is as good of a workstation upgrade as they come.
Alongside the two more capable Thunderbolt hubs, there’s also some other CalDigit gear getting in on the savings.
- Tuff Nano Plus 2TB SDD: $106 (Reg. $176)
- Thunderbolt 4 Cable: $24 (Reg. $30)
- Element Hub: $150 (Reg. $200)
- USB-C to HDMI Adapter: $17 (Reg. $23)
