It seems that Ugreen is launching a new USB4 docking station globally. The new model has appeared on Amazon in the US and UK, featuring a much slimmer design than the 15-in-1 DisplayLink USB-C Dock (currency: $359.99 at Amazon), which launched in August.
Called the Ugreen 11-in-1 USB4 Docking Station, the new model has a flat, horizontal design that fits more easily under monitors or monitor posts than vertical docks. It connects to the host laptop via an integrated 2.6-foot USB4 cable and offers up to 40Gbps of bandwidth and 11 ports for connecting various accessories.
On the front there is a combo audio jack, SD and microSD card readers, a 10Gbps USB-C port, and a 10Gbps USB-A port. On the back are a 20Gbps USB4 downstream port, HDMI 2.1, two 5Gbps USB-A ports, a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port, and a 140W USB-C power input.
One of the dock’s biggest selling points is its support for high refresh rate displays. It can drive a single 4K 240Hz monitor via USB4 or HDMI, or two 4K 120Hz displays in extended mode on Windows and compatible MacBooks, including the M4 and M5 models. By comparison, Anker’s recently released 10-in-1 desktop USB-C hub (cost: $99.99 at Amazon) supports dual 1440p monitors at 240 Hz but maxes out at 60 Hz with dual 4K displays.
The dock accepts up to 140W via the USB-C power input and delivers up to 115W to the connected laptop. It can also deliver up to 15W via the USB4 downstream port to charge phones and other smaller devices. Additionally, the Ugreen 11-in-1 USB4 Dock is plug-and-play on macOS and Windows, but requires a laptop with a USB4, Thunderbolt 4, or Thunderbolt 5 port for full functionality.
Prices and availability
The new Ugreen 11-in-1 USB4 Dock is available to purchase on Amazon for $149.99 in the US and £109.99 in the UK.
My love for gadgets started back in high school when I successfully updated my Samsung Galaxy S III mini from Android 4.1.1 to Android 5.0 using a custom ROM I found online. I now have a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and have spent the last seven years building PCs for customers and writing news, product reviews, and buying guides for PC hardware, gaming, and consumer electronics. Before joining Notebookcheck, I was a business writer at Game Rant and a junior buying guides editor at MakeUseOf.
