digitalcameraworld.com

The CalDigit TS5 Plus is a no-compromise dock that outclasses a lot of the competition with its 140W charging and a massive 20-port array. Connectivity options abound so much that I can almost forgive it for the lack of a native HDMI port. The dock is a powerhouse for professionals who crave speed and efficiency, but for the average user, it'll be total overkill. If you aren't pushing 8K displays or high-speed RAID arrays, you're likely paying for performance you’ll never actually see. $499.99 at Amazon

Pros

  • ++ Supports Thunderbolt 5
  • +Compatible with three displays
  • +140W Laptop Charging

Cons

  • -No native HDMI
  • -Large power brick
  • -Expensive
