What does the Anker Prime TB5 Docking Station bring to this emerging market? A lot actually! ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons) Price: $399.99 Where to buy: Anker What is […]

REVIEW – I have spent the past few months moving into my new office/studio and working hard to ensure that I only use the necessary and best equipment so that the appearance mirrors the concept in my head, and that there is the capability and functionality that I need. I use a large 49″ monitor

REVIEW – A few days ago while I was working on rearranging equipment on my desktop to make things neater, I was amazed at how many accessories I have and how many I swap because I am either short on docks or I am using docks that lack enough ports or the variety of ports

REVIEW – By now, I think that it would be redundancy overkill if I mentioned that I am a big fan of BenQ products. But, I still say it. Recently, I have been revamping the gear set up in my home office/studio to meet the needs of my podcast and other social media projects, as

REVIEW – Have you dialed in your desk set up at home or work? It seems like I’m constantly fiddling with both of mine. Sometimes it’s because there’s something new to review, but usually it’s just trying to improve layout for how I’m working at a given time. One key ingredient since the introduction of

REVIEW:  Lacking ports on your portable?  Friends with certain brands tell me they wish there were more attachment options in their laptops.  Around here the PC laptop has plenty of ports but who wants to plug every single thing in, every time you sit down to compute?  The OWC USB-C Travel Dock E is a

REVIEW – Does your laptop have fewer ports than you’d like? Are you plugging in more than one cable every time you settle in at your desk? If you’ve answered yes to either of these then congratulations, you should check out a dock. There are a lot of options out there varying in size, form

REVIEW – Until laptops start adding ports back (and maybe still even when they do) it’s necessary, or just super helpful, to be able to connect all your accessories to a dock. That way you’re only plugging in a couple cables or in the case of Kensington’s new Thunderbolt 4 Dual 4k Dock, just one.

REVIEW – Adding ports for a laptop or tablet that needs more connectivity options is part of Gadgeteer life. There’s even a name for it: DongleTown. Many newer laptops and tablets have USB-C ports (maybe exclusively), but you have an entire collection of things that predate this plug, but need to use them. You can

REVIEW – With the arrival of my shiny new Samsung Galaxy Tab S6, I decided to try an experiment.  For quick out-of-town work trips, I would leave my laptop at home and use the keyboard case and the DeX software to replace it.  I wanted to plug into the TV in my hotel room(s), be

REVIEW – My daughter is heading off to college this fall, and like every other college student, she needs a laptop.  We bought her a new MacBook Pro, and while these are nice machines, they don’t exactly have an over-abundance of ports.  In fact, the 13-inch ones have exactly two Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports, one

REVIEW – As technology evolves, newer and better connectivity options are continuously emerging. One of the relatively recent additions is the USB-C connection, with many devices like the MacBook pioneering this option. As a result, I have been testing a few USB-C docks for performance, flexibility, and connectivity. The Kensington SD1600P USB-C Mobile Dock is another addition to the

REVIEW – USB-C is a great specification, but in practice, it has been a slow, uphill battle to get peripherals that support it.  Many aftermarket manufacturers (such as external hard disks or network adapters) seem stuck on the old USB-A type connectors and the slower speeds that go along with that standard.  A few, though, are
