One of the larger docks in our round-up, Belkin’s is also one of the more durable thanks to its rugged aluminium enclosure. The front features both USB-A 3.1 and data-only USB-C ports plus an easily accessible SD card slot and 3.5mm audio in/out jack. Seven more ports on the back – four USB-A 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, DisplayPort, and USB-C – help reduce cable clutter.

However, this dock proved consistently buggy, causing our M1 MacBook Pro display to be incorrectly positioned after connecting the dock more than once or twice. (A reboot was required to get it sorted.) The lack of HDMI is also a limitation for those without DP or USB-C monitors.

VERDICT

Good mix of ports M1 MacBook undocking
