Have an old VGA monitor you want to repurpose as an external display for a Thunderbol­t 3-equipped Mac? This is the dock for you. A single connection provides wired Ethernet, dual displays (DisplayPor­t and 15-pin VGA or HDMI), and a pair of fast-charge USB-A 3.0 ports.

It’s a bit expensive considerin­g there are only eight ports – there’s no SD card slots or audio output, and no support for USB-C equipped iPads; this is strictly Thunderbol­t only. At 58.6mm deep, StarTech’s unit is a little narrower than its competitor­s here, and a bit tidier when it comes to cable management since the dock’s sole Thunderbol­t port is on the front.

VERDICT

Works with VGA Too expensive
