USBC Docking Station for 4k screen compatible with M1 processor

[PixelVixenUK]

Hi all,

Newbie question, Looking to find a USBC Docking Station to a 4k screen compatible with M1 processor on my MBP.
Looking fr as many ports as I can get but need that screen resolution to be as good as possible.

Any recommendations would be really useful thank you.

Hey Tracy,

I am using the Bridge Stone Pro TB4 (Thunderbolt 4)

Stone Pro TB4

Stone Pro TB4 - Universal Thunderbolt™ 4 Docking Station for Windows 10 & 11, macOS & ChromeOS. Featuring 11 ports, 90 watts of power, transfer speeds up to 40 Gb/s and a sleek high-grade design, the Stone Pro TB4 is the ultimate in connectivity.

It is USB-C4 / TB4, and should work on any M1 Mac, however the amount of screens is reliant on which M1 generation you mean.

I am using it for a pair of 4K screens currently on a 14" MBP, and it runs like a dream.

Also does power output to charge the Mac so running only one cable to my MBP is nice.

Port listing as follows;

• 3 x Thunderbolt™ 4 - (Bear in mind, one of those three, is to connect to your Mac)
• 1 x USB-A (2.0 5V/1.5A)
• 3 x USB-A (3.3 Gen 2 10 Gb/s)
• 1 x Thunderbolt™ 4 PD 3.0 90W
• 1 x SD Card (SD4.0UHS-II)
• 1 x Ethernet (Gigabit)
• 1 x Audio/Mic
• 1 x Dock Power

However, I have also realised, you may not be using USB-C to connect to the screens, so, may also be worth looking at the docks from CalDigit;
