For many years, I’ve been running my workstation off of a laptop - namely, a MacBook Pro. A few months ago, I shifted my main computer over to a MacMini. That said, I do still require a docking station in place so that I can utilize all my peripherals and accessories. I was drawn to this docking station by Razer because of its use of Thunderbolt 4 and because of how it uses RGB lighting effects.The dock provides a great option for creating a connection option for a laptop-based workstation. With it, you can connect your laptop to all your peripherals with one cable. One thing that was surprising to me was that there were no display port options (DisplayPort or HDMI). The USB-C ports do transmit video and audio signals, but you will have to acquire a USB-C to ... MoreFor many years, I’ve been running my workstation off of a laptop - namely, a MacBook Pro.

The USB-C ports do transmit video and audio signals, but you will have to acquire a USB-C to HDMI/DisplayPort cable in order to connect to most modern monitors.The dock works with the MacBook Pro out of the box without needing any drivers. That said, there is no Mac software to control the RGB under glow so if you are using a Mac, you won’t have any customization options and the colors will just cycle. The first time I connected the laptop to the dock, I connected it to one of the USB-C ports on the rear of the dock. These ports, I discovered, are all ‘receiver’ ports. That means, that while they can provide power to a connected computer, they aren’t going to recognize that computer as the source machine. The source port is on the front of the dock, which I found strange for cable organization purposes. I would have much rather seen this port on the front be a receive port for easy access.I also connected the dock to a Windows laptop and played around with the Synapse software. It takes a few minutes to get it downloaded and setup, but it immediately recognized the dock.Despite the lack of customization possibilities for Mac computers, the dock is very sturdy as it’s all metal and it works great for connecting USB-A and USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 devices to a single computer base. I do, however, wish the power supply was smaller and that the ports were organized differently. I will be using this Thunderbolt dock mostly with my Gaming PC and because its Thunderbolt 4 I will also plug in my MacBook Pro to get the most usability out of the ports. This is an awesome dock for both PC and Mac.

The Razer Thunderbolt 4 Dock Chroma is Razer’s entrance into the brave new world of Thunderbolt 4. Unlike Thunderbolt 3, whose almost entire existence was defined by Apple (and their collaboration with Intel), Thunderbolt 4 is starting to gain a wider adoption across computing. Razer’s dock combines essential ports, a card reader, 90w of power delivery and lighting into a solid aluminum package.Unboxing the device reveals both a slender 135w power brick, and a just as slim Thunderbolt 4 dock. The dock is sheathed in aluminum, with a slew of ports exposed on the rear and a few on the front. On the rear, you’ll find 3 USB-A ports, 3 Thunderbolt 4 downstream ports (USB-C), gigabit Ethernet, and the barrel jack for power. On the front there is the Thunderbolt 4 ...

On the rear, you’ll find 3 USB-A ports, 3 Thunderbolt 4 downstream ports (USB-C), gigabit Ethernet, and the barrel jack for power. On the front there is the Thunderbolt 4 upstream, 3.5mm combo headphone/microphone jack, and a SD card slot.Setup is as easy as plugging in power, the Thunderbolt upstream and any accessories you want to use. One positive is that the included Thunderbolt cable is 2.5ft, which while short is longer than some I’ve seen. Once connected, I did have a blue screen of death on my Windows 10 laptop, but a reboot fixed it. Unlike my previous Thunderbolt 3 dock, I don’t get a bitlocker recovery screen when I boot up with it connected. After the initial boot, the Razer Synapse software was automatically prompted to be installed. The only real reason to install it (at this point) is for lighting control, which does have plenty of effects, and synchronizes to other Razer accessories.I replaced my Thunderbolt 3 dock, and other than needing to swap out a DisplayPort cable to a USB-C to DisplayPort, the connections were the same. My keyboard, mouse, and other accessories worked immediately. Power delivery immediately worked and charged my laptop. My monitor is an HDR compatible 120Hz super ultra wide (5120x1440), and worked flawlessly. I connected my 4K as well, and it worked just as well.Since Thunderbolt is more ubiquitous now, I was able to try several devices with this dock. Specifically the 2018 rMBP 15.6”, worked without any issues. In fact, my monitor seemed limited with the previous Thunderbolt 3 dock and my Mac, but worked with proper refresh rate and resolution. Finally, I tested my M1 iPad Pro. This also worked flawlessly, with keyboard, mouse, and monitor operating correctly, even with HDR support.Even more surprising, the dock itself seems to be compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 2 as well. I was able to hook up both a Surface Duo 2, and a Samsung Galaxy S6 tablet and use my keyboard/mouse/monitor successfully. Samsung’s tablet launched Dex and had dual screens going on while also being able to read the SD card. Previous Thunderbolt docks I’ve used have zero compatibility with USB-C devices, so this was a welcome surprise and adds to the flexibility of the dock.So Razer has a device that has broad compatibility, strong power delivery, great port selection, great build quality, and RGB. Only one of those features seems superfluous, but really Razer has created a great package here. At the asking price, it is a bit premium, but if you’re all in on Razer accessories, or just want a jet black dock, Razer’s offering is quite compelling. Again, seeing a device support so many devices, with so many accessories is compelling, and finally giving us the promise that USB-C brought. Highly recommended!

Razer - Thunderbolt™ 4 Dock with Chroma RGB Lighting - BlackThe Razer Thunderbolt dock says by gamers, for gamers.

The “Thunderbolt to HDMI” did not really live up to expectations at it is limited to 60Hz. In Windows 11 the color on the external monitor was vivid and clean. But like a lot of things in Windows 11 that was about the only thing that was over all good. The ethernet port operated at half the speed it should have and actually dropped off after the first few seconds. Yes, I did go in and turn off the Wi-Fi connection, so I was just using the ethernet port on the dock. My internet connection tops out at about 940Mbps. With the dock it would hit 500Mbps and then start on a slow decline until it ended at 200Mbps. I found the transfer speed of all ports to be the same way, start fast and then drop off. These results are from Windows 11 using a Thunderbolt 4 port.My next test was using a Windows 10 machine that also has a Thunderbolt 4 port. The same App was downloaded and looked and worked the same as Windows 11. However, in Windows 10 I got full speed out of all the dock’s ports. The ethernet port gave a solid 940Mbps, exactly what I should be getting. In windows 10 the monitor seemed a little washed out, but I did not go into the setting and force the right color profile. I’m sure if I did that it would look just as good. All other ports worked as expected at full speed. So, for full speed use you will need to be running Windows 10 for now. I’m sure this is a driver issue within Windows 11 that is causing the slow downs. The lighting effects also worked as expected in Windows 10. You can also link the lighting effects to all your other Razer products as long as they are recognized by the App.My only concern is the Thunderbolt 4 output ports. They limit the monitor use to 2 4k monitors, but limited to 60Hz. My test monitor was 4k at 120Hz and although it worked just fine at 4k 60Hz, I thought the dock, built for gamers, should support 120Hz. Could also be a limit of the “Thunderbolt 4” connection? When researching to see if I had the wrong adapter, I found that all of the listed Thunderbolt 4 to HDMI cables were specified out to USB-C to HDMI specs. I’m just guessing at this point, but it seems that all of the Thunderbolt 4 to HDMI cables are actually Thunderbolt 3/USB-C specs. Is this a limitation of Thunderbolt/USB-C ports to limit the frequency to 60Hz, not really, Thunderbolt 4 should support 1 4k monitor at 120Hz. This dock just goes along with the standard of limiting monitors to 60Hz.The build of the dock is top notch. Solid build with solid ports, a rubber bottom to stop it from sliding around and a full size external power adapter so your machine will not have to deal with powering devices attached to the dock.My bottom line is this dock is a well built unit that should give years of service.

You'll have to create an account.The dock itself is outfitted with a source USB-C in the front, an audio port for those of you that prefer the wired method, and a SD card slot.On the back you have the power plug port, 3 USB-C receiver ports, a gigabit ethernet port, and 3 USB-A ports.Considering that my mechanical keyboard takes 2 USB-A ports to work, that's already saving me from the get go. My wireless mouse goes into the other USB-A port, and my 2 monitors are plugged in via USB-C to display port.For me, this feels geared more towards creators, than gamers. Mainly it's the SD slot in the front. I guess it can be for both.I've only encountered one hiccup so far. When I'm using the dock, one of my monitors will go to black, then turns right back on. I tried unplugging it from the dock and plugging it in directly to the laptop, and no issues. This happens about 3-4 times an hour. It's pretty annoying. I don't know how to remedy this, so I guess I'll live with it for now. Or maybe somebody at Razer can help me figure out how to solve this issue.

Fortunately, i have a few Type C to HDMI cables and was able to connect dual 4k monitors to my connected laptops :) Another thing to note is that the Razer Synapse software is exclusive to PCs (meaning Macs do not have RGB customization options).Overall, i would highly recommend this dock to anyone that is a power user and needs port variety and expansion.
Review of Thunderbolt 4 Dock ChromaI've been a Razer fan for years, having enjoyed one of their lighted keyboards immensely. I think that ambient lighting adds a lot to the computing experience, not just for gaming, but for any purpose. I was therefore very interested in Razer's new Thunderbolt 4 Dock Chroma.I do not have machines with Thunderbolt 4 ports, but I do use two nearly-identical HP Spectre laptops with Thunderbolt 3 ports, and the Razer Dock is supposed to be backward compatible so I tested it with them. Oddly, only the newer Spectre, which is running Windows 11, detected the Dock immediately, and the Dock started to glow and suggested downloading the Razer software that is necessary for controlling the lighting on the Dock.

I think that ambient lighting adds a lot to the computing experience, not just for gaming, but for any purpose. I was therefore very interested in Razer's new Thunderbolt 4 Dock Chroma.I do not have machines with Thunderbolt 4 ports, but I do use two nearly-identical HP Spectre laptops with Thunderbolt 3 ports, and the Razer Dock is supposed to be backward compatible so I tested it with them. Oddly, only the newer Spectre, which is running Windows 11, detected the Dock immediately, and the Dock started to glow and suggested downloading the Razer software that is necessary for controlling the lighting on the Dock. The older Spectre, which is running Windows 10, said the Dock was connected, but it did not light up or suggest a download. I downloaded the software manually, but it did not detect the Dock. Eventually I discovered with the Windows Thunderbolt Control Center app that, while the Dock was registered as connected, I had to explicitly give permission to use the connection. After I did, the Dock worked perfectly, just as it did on the newer Spectre. So, if your Dock does not light up when you plug it into your machine, check your permissions on the Thunderbolt Control Center app.I tested all of the possible connections on the dock, and they worked fine: the USB A and C connections, the Ethernet port, and the card reader. However, you should note that the Dock will power only the laptop connect to the main USB source port. The remaining USB C ports will provide power to devices like a phone, but not to a second laptop. Use caution with sensitive audio equipment such as a USB microphone. My JLAB USB mike+headphones worked through the Dock, but static was present. On the other hand, my Omen Mindframe gaming headset worked fine through the dock, as did my Razer Blackwidow Elite keyboard.Out of curiosity, I also tested the Thunderbolt 4 Dock on my HP desktop computer, which has a USB C port that is not Thunderbolt. Interestingly, all devices I tried connecting through the Dock worked perfectly, including the JLAB USB mike+headphone. Obviously, you will not get Thunderbolt 4 speeds when connecting to a non-Thunderbolt USB C port, but the Dock will work as a port extender.
This Razer thunderbolt 4 hub stands out among other hubs for the unique design and quality it provides. It is built of a solid piece of nice feel aluminum that is powered by a power adaptor. The underglow Razer Chroma lighting is gorgeous. It complements my other Razer products and can be customized via the Razer Synapse software on PC ONLY, not available on Mac OS; however, it still works without the ability to customize the hub via Synapse software. As far as the performance is concerned, I hooked up the hub into my Alienware PC via Thunderbolt 3 upstream port, which is the USB-C located in the front of the hub, and it worked flawlessly; the 4K display works like a breeze. I connected my other peripherals via the USB ports with no issues. Additionally, I use my ...

I connected my other peripherals via the USB ports with no issues. Additionally, I use my MacBook Pro M1 for work, so this hub is absolutely a lifesaver since my MacBook Pro has only two thunderbolt ports; with the hub connected to my Macbook Pro, the 4k/120hz monitor worked smoothly via thunderbolt 4 while it keeps my Mac charged with fast charging up to 90 watts all time as thunderbolt 4 provides audio, video and power delivery. Great hub for computers with limited ports but lacks HDMI port as well as DisplayPort.I/O Ports4 Thunderbolt™ 4 (USB-C)3 USB-A 3.2 Gen 21 Gigabit EthernetSD Card Reader, UHS-II3.5 audio jack
I'm using the Razer Thunderbolt 4 Dock Chroma with my new 2021 14 in MacBook Pro.-Build Quality: Fully metal and seems durable. Rubber bottom so it doesn't slide on a desk.-Port Selection: There are 3 Thunderbolt 4 ports in the back, as well as 3 USB-A ports, 1 ethernet, and the power connector. Front has SD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, and the Source Thunderbolt port. No HDMI or DisplayPort if that's what you need.-Ease of Use: If you have fully converted to USB-C, then this is a Plug and Play Thunderbolt dock. Once everything is connected in the back, one cable goes to your computer and you're ready to work.So even though this dock is great, there are some problems with it, especially for Mac users. The main thing is that you cannot control the RGB. ... MoreI'm using the Razer Thunderbolt 4 Dock Chroma with my new 2021 14 in MacBook Pro.-Build Quality: Fully metal and seems durable.

The main thing is that you cannot control the RGB. Razer is no longer supporting their software on macOS, even though their website says that the Chroma Dock works great with M1 Macs. So if you like to leave your Mac in clamshell mode plugged in overnight, prepare for a spectacle of RGB illuminating the room. At least some type of toggle to disable RGB would've been nice. Also, even though the future may be USB-C, not all monitors are adopting it yet. An HDMI or DisplayPort would've been a great addition. Prepare to purchase new display cables or adapters. Also, I think placing the Source port in the back would make the dock look a lot sleeker.For people who are fully into USB-C and would like a great, responsive Thunderbolt 4 dock, this Razer Chroma Dock will work perfectly. Mac users should look at the "Mercury" edition this dock, as there is no RGB on that model. Overall, works great and I'm very happy with how it's performing.
I have a couple of high-end laptops, so I retired my desktop systems some time ago. I use these laptops for gaming and general computer use, so I can take them with me, use them while sitting on the couch watching TV, or docked at my desk.My desk setup includes an awesome RGB keyboard, mouse, and headset, plus a gorgeous FHD monitor.One of my laptops is a high-end 2 in 1 with an i7 processor and optane storage, so it's a power house with thunderbolt 4, but no gaming video. This dock squeezes the best video performance out of it. It's awesome to be able to just shut the lid and plug it in using one USB-C cord, and it seamlessly transitions the video and controls. My laptop immediately detected the dock as thunderbolt 4, so I didn't have to do anything to install ... MoreI have a couple of high-end laptops, so I retired my desktop systems some time ago.

This dock squeezes the best video performance out of it. It's awesome to be able to just shut the lid and plug it in using one USB-C cord, and it seamlessly transitions the video and controls. My laptop immediately detected the dock as thunderbolt 4, so I didn't have to do anything to install drivers or anything. Razer drivers did pop up and gave me the option to install, so I can use it to control the RGB effects, but this laptop isn't for gaming, and this dock doesn't change that.My gaming laptop on the other hand is a powerhouse with a Ryzen 9 processor and RTX 3060 video but it does not have Thunderbolt, so I'm sure I'm missing some functionality or performance there. It still works great as a USB-C dock, but I'm not sure whether display link through USB or plugging directly into my monitor from the laptop's HDMI port works better, but the USB-C cord does keep the laptop charged. Important note -- I've found that my laptop does not charge through USB when the battery is too low, so don't expect USB-C to bring back a totally dead battery. That might be different with the Thunderbolt laptop, since it only charges through USB-C.Another important note -- this dock does not have video jacks, so unless your monitor has a USB-C input (which isn't very common when I wrote this), you'll need to get an adapter cable. I understand that the USB-C standard includes Display Port and HDMI outputs, so I just use adapter cables and I'm all good.
The Razer Thunderbolt 4 Dock is the first dock I got personally to use at home, typically I would just use the built in display output on my laptop when needed. Since early 2020 I started working remotely, and got accustom to having a dock for my work laptop at home, with a shift to working on site more frequently I took my docking station back to the office. Since I work at home from time to time I got into looking at docks and have had really good experience with Razer, knowing of the quality and build of their products I knew the tech was going to be solid!The first thing I did was get a couple of USB-C to Display port cables so I can display out to my current monitors, since those are the only outputs for display, once I got those everything was plug and play. ...

You have 3 USB-C ports for output, 3 USB for peripherals, a network port, a card reader and 3.5mm headphone jack.The dock has worked as expected, I don't have anything negative to say about it. On my personal laptop, being a Razer, I adjusted the RGB on the dock to match my theme, on my work laptop I haven't bothered since I wouldn't want to install any additional software and that hasn't cause me any issues. The dock can also be used for Samsung Dex, I plugged my S21 Ultra in and Dex showed up on my display.Overall I am happy with the dock, it works for everything I need and the RGB is more of an accent, not too off putting. If you have multiple devices that can dock through USB-C or just want something a little futureproof with a thunderbolt 4 connector, this would be a great choice since it has been fairly universal in my experience so far
