Although I work on PCs every single day, I also use Macs for both work and play. My go-to work machine is a MacBook Air (M4), which I love because it’s powerful, lightweight, and the battery easily lasts through the workday when I’m away from a power outlet. I also use a Mac Mini (M4) at home as our Plex Media Server, which runs 24-7-365.
However, Macs (especially the MacBook Air) aren’t known for their abundance of versatile ports, so I use Thunderbolt 4 docks with both systems at my desk. With this setup, I can add a wealth of connectivity options to my Macs using Thunderbolt 4. In my case, I leverage the Ivanky FusionDock Max 1 and the Amazon Basics Thunderbolt 4 Pro Dock. And while I use these docks with Macs, there are plenty of Intel-based Windows laptops with Thunderbolt 4 ports that can use compatible Thunderbolt 4 docks.
