Here&#8217;s a selection of steeply-discounted Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 5 docks to boost your Mac&#8217;s connectivity. <\/p>\n<p>Users of the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air will be very familiar with the relatively small number of ports available on their devices. While it&#8217;s enough to use the notebooks while on the move, it&#8217;s not really enough to connect a lot of different devices up to your Mac. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not just limited to the MacBook lines. Many desktop Mac users may find the included port selection isn&#8217;t quite expansive enough for their needs. It&#8217;s not just simply adding more connections, as sometimes the docks provide ports that the Mac itself doesn&#8217;t have, but consumers may need. <\/p>\n<p>What follows is a selection of Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 5 docks you can attach to your Mac. <\/p>\n<h2 data-anchor=\"razer-thunderbolt-5-dock-chroma\" id=\"razer-thunderbolt-5-dock-chroma\">Razer Thunderbolt 5 Dock Chroma<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0FDMLTDB3\/?th=1&amp;tag=reality\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Razer Thunderbolt 5 Dock<\/a> delivers up to 120Gbps burst bandwidth (80Gbps sustained bidirectional), supports triple 4K displays at up to 144Hz, and provides up to 140W of charging via USBC.
