Can this disrupt the Caldigit TS4 as the “consensus best dock”? It has fewer ports, notably no card reader, but otherwise looks like it provides similar functionality for $100 less.

- reaperman 3y agoThe CalDigit was notable for being the most compatible with MacBooks specifically, so there's no reason to think they'll suddenly be dethroned there.
- sylens 3y agoWe'll have to see how it tests with a wide swath of devices. The CalDigit docks have never given me any issues
- LeBit 3y agoI'm done with CalDigits. I bought an Element Hub from them. I was losing keyboard and microphone connectivity pretty much every day. Contacted support. After exchanging multiple useless emails where I was told the Hub wasn't compatible with keyboards and microphones, I simply bought a 20$ USB 3.0 switch which works flawlessly. Months layer, I figured I might give the Element Hub another go. Maybe they updated the firmware. Once I plugged the Hub to its power supply, I heard a crackling noise and then I smelled the odor of burnt silicon. Never buying CalDigits again.
