CalDigit’s portable SOHO MacBook Dock with 10Gb/s USB-C interface falls to $70 (2023 low)

2023 low $70

Amazon now offers the CalDigit SOHO USB-C Dock for $69.99 shipped after the on-page coupon has been clipped. Down from $80, this is the first price cut in months, while also matching the 2023 low in the process. Delivering a more compact and portable take on USB-C hubs, the CalDigit SOHO Dock arrives with a bus-powered design that draws energy right from your machine. It can fit into the palm of your hand, while still offering enough ports to turn your MacBook into a full-fledged desktop machine. There’s both HDMI and DisplayPort 4K 60Hz outputs, as well as a USB-C 10Gb/s data port, USB-A slot with the same spec, and a pair of SD card readers.

Stepping up to a Thunderbolt 4 interface, the CalDigit Element Hub drops down to $199.99 at Amazon. It’s $30 off the usual $230 going rate and 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.

And if you need even more ports, CalDigit’s popular TS3 Plus Thunderbolt 3 Dock is still down to its best price of the year. Landing at a new 2023 low, the Mac companion brings tons of I/O to your machine with much of the same premium metal housing as the other two models above. Now on sale for $220, it’s clocking in with $80 in savings from the usual $300 going rate.
