For my "work" MacBook Pro, I had an OWC TB3 docking station for a long time. It was... okay. It worked but was a bit finicky, better than almost anything else available when I got it in 2020, but also more expensive than almost anything else back then. But it eventually died due to poor design - the power supply connection was not solid enough and started shorting out inside the unit. My needs are: External monitor (while internal is also on), USB support/power for keyboard, speakers and HD for TimeMachine, and 1Gb or better ethernet. I figured I should be able to get a cheap hub or dock to replace the OWC. But every passive unit (those without their own power supply) and even the powered odd-brand docking systems (Hyrta and Hagibis) were flaky when driving an external monitor and network during zoom calls. By then, I already had on my "personal" 2023 MacBook Pro a CalDigit TS4 (ThunderBolt 4), which is the successor to this model. That is a very very expensive, but super good, docking station. Most of the name-brand docking systems are basically clones of one reference design, including the OWC ThunderBolt 3 unit, but this CalDigit TS3 is, like the TS4, different. And since the "work" Mac doesn't have ThunderBolt 4, I got this. Like the TS4, this excludes build quality. And it works. No drama. Which is all I wanted. It is a LOT more expensive than the passive units (non-powered) I tried, but it hasn't glitched out at all in the two months I've been using it heavily.

About three years ago, after a bad experience with a competitor's docking station, I realized the CalDigit TS3 Plus was what I should have purchased in the first place and ordered one. I am a professional software developer using a 2018 MacBook Pro 15-inch to create iOS apps. For me, that means using lots of screen real estate and having lots of phones connected at once for testing. My main screen is a 30" 2560 x 1600 Dell U3011, with Dell 20" 2007FP 1200 x 1600 screens on either side, rotated to portrait mode. The TS3 Plus drives the 30" screen directly via DisplayPort and one of the 20" screens via a Uni USB-C to HDMI adapter. I'm also using the gigabit Ethernet port, most of the USB ports, and even the optical output port to drive an NAD D 3020 digital integrated amplifier that I use for audio. The TS3 Plus never ceases to amaze me in that all of this just works, with no fuss whatsoever, and all through a single cable, leaving the three other Thunderbolt ports on the computer for whatever else I can come up with. The screens go to sleep when they should and wake up when they should. The battery in the computer charges when it should and doesn't discharge when it shouldn't. The various USB devices charge and communicate. This was not true of the competitor's device, which would lose connection to the screens and periodically drain the computer's battery when it was actually plugged in. In fact, it works so well, I tended to forget exactly what was connected and moved my USB-C Time Machine backup drive from the TS3 Plus back to being directly connected to the computer. Why? Because I would forget to eject it before unplugging that one cable (!) to take my computer on the road, prompting a curt reminder from MacOS that I had committed a no-no. Of course, I could use a Post-It note as a reminder, but why bother when I have so many ports still available? The device also looks good, is solidly built from anodized aluminum like the computer itself and the ports are thoughtfully arranged to reduce cable clutter, with most of them out of sight on the back, where they belong, while retaining just what's needed on the front, where they are easy to reach, for devices that tend to be connected and disconnected frequently, such as headphones, memory cards and a few extra USB ports for anything else that might be needed. I recently had an opportunity to deal with their technical support when the power supply gave up the ghost after years of glitch-free service, and they were easy to reach and provided first rate assistance. In fact, it was so easy to contact them, with zero hold time and instant answering, it made me wonder if they were sitting around bored like those mythical Maytag repair people in the old TV commercials? If so, they are clearly doing something right with their products on the inside as well as the outside.

Apple really screwed up the Macbook Pro 13" design by providing only two Thunderbolt ports and no other ports at all. That's fine if you use your Macbook as a toy but if you are using it for work, you need monitors and peripherals and while "anything" can be plugged in to the Thunderbolt ports, that can only be two at a time. If you have two external monitors you can't even plug in the charger! I did a lot of research on port replicators for this laptop and there are very very few available that do a proper job. I wish I stuck with Dell. But I digress. In the end I chose this Caltech dock and I'm very happy. I can just plug in one Thunderbolt cable to my laptop, and I instantly have access to two external 1900x1600 Dell monitors, one of them turned sideways (the dock supports up to 4k with two monitors), my wonderful Cherry MX USB keyboard, my teleconferencing headset, a charging cable for the magic mouse and a bunch of other USB nicknacks. The dock has its own power pack and supplies power to the laptop so I can keep the laptop's own charger at a different location. Most important though is 2 monitors + power. None of the cheaper docks allow you to do this with the 13" Macbook Pro (unless you have the more expensive Macbook with 4 Thunderbolt ports). This dock is expensive, but not more expensive than the very few comparable ones and it seems to be the best one. With this dock I was able to re-use most of my existing cables and only had to buy one expensive special cable. The dock came with the dock-to-laptop cable. I could use my existing DP-to-DP cable for one of the monitors. For the other one I had to buy a Thunderbolt-to-DP cable. The dock has separate microphone and headphone jacks, which happens to be what my headset needs as opposed to the cellphone-style 4-tip single socket that the Macbook has. The dock has LOTS of USB ports, which made me very happy. I do not need any external USB hub. It's such a nice dock, I wish I could buy another one for the other location I use my laptop. But I only have one monitor there, so there are much cheaper alternatives. The high price is the only thing I don't like about this dock. FYI Apple does not do NEARLY as nice a job as Windows at remembering hardware configurations. Every time I re-dock I have to re-configure the monitor arrangement and re-select the Caltech audio device. That's not Caltech's fault, it just does not seem Apple was meant for serious work users.

New review using the MacBook Pro 2020 (i7 Quad Core with 32GB of Ram, a 1 TB SSD, and 4 Thunderbolt 3 ports): I have been using my Macbook Pro 2020 and the CalDigit TS3+ as my "daily driver" for about a year now. I had some minor issues when using it with my Lenovo prior to getting my Mac, but they were resolved with some updates. It's an excellent dock and I have had no problems with it for the past year. The dock has never even been restarted. I'm listing all of the apps and CalDigit TS3 ports that I use to show how stable the combination is: I use my Mac for work and run several VPN's and remote connections to clients' offices, as well as all MS Office apps, Zoom, Edge and Chrome, Snagit, a time tracking application, Teams, and a few other apps. I also run VMWare Fusion once in a while when I have to use a Windows computer. That runs on a USB-C external enclosure from Plugable that is directly connected to one of the Mac's Thunderbolt ports. I have plugged it into the CD TS3 with no trouble, but as I don't use it often, it's easier to reach the port on the Mac. I have two older Dell displays, one 1920x1200, using the CalDigit TB3 to DisplayPort, and one 1920x1080, that uses the CalDigit DisplayPort to DisplayPort. I don't usually have my laptop open, but at times I want an extra screen to keep an eye on email and will pop it open with no problem, giving me a total of three displays. Both displays work exactly as they should. I use a Logitech MX Keys keyboard and the MX Anywhere 3 Mouse. The dongle for those is plugged into the front USB-C port using a C to A cable. There is a Logitech Brio webcam plugged into the front USB-A port. There is a Plantronics BT600 dongle plugged into a rear USB-A port. I have the Ethernet port plugged into a 1 Gb switch. Speed tests and file transfers work as expected. I have a Seagate 2TB Backup Plus external drive plugged into a rear USB-A port for Time Machine. The point is that it all just runs! The setup runs 24/7 as there are certain things that run overnight. The CD TS3+ keeps my laptop charged and runs everything with no communication issues or speed problems. As I don't have Thunderbolt 4, there is no reason for me to update anything...until I get a new MacBook in a couple of years! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Old review from when I used it for my Lenovo laptop for about 3 months: I've only had this a few days, so I will just point out a couple of things. I am using Windows 10 Pro on a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga and it has the most up-to-date firmware and drivers available. The CalDigit support site is terrible for Windows users. Everything regarding drivers and firmware is for MAC only. It makes no mention of Windows. I thought that maybe I bought the wrong device until I looked at the product page and it does say it is for Mac and Windows. In fact, on the product page, it states: "The TS3 Plus provides up to 87W charging for Mac & Windows Thunderbolt 3 laptops. A firmware update is required. For more information, please visit our KB article here. The charging feature may vary depending on the design of your Windows Thunderbolt 3 laptop. Check with the system manufacturer for more information." When you click on their link, it takes you to a page that only provides Mac info. Even though they claim you have to update for Win and Mac, there's no mention of Windows on the page. I found a Windows firmware update for the device by doing a Google search, but I could not update the TS3's firmware. I received an error about missing software. Another Google search shows some info, but the link doesn't provide any useful info. I tried updating or installing anything I could find to no avail. So: The network jack wouldn't work. My keyboard, which is USB, wouldn't work. I was desperate. Finally, I found an Intel program called "Thunderbolt." I ran it and the TS3 started working. I really want to find a way to upgrade the firmware as it supposedly provides some functionality missing from the shipped version. Getting accurate monitor setup information is not easy. More to follow.

Late 2016 MacBook Pro. Mostly OK. Two LG 4k monitors connected via Displayport and USB-C to Displayport cables. Sometimes they don't wake from sleep correctly, and one or both monitors don't show a display. Sometimes opening the MacBook screen works, but mostly I have to restart. Other than that it seems to work as expected. USB items work correctly, MacBook gets powered. It would be better if there was an audio out on the back panel, rather than the front - just makes it look untidy. Overall I'm satisfied, but not wowed. *Update 08/01/2018* This is getting worse and I'm now having to restart 2-3 times a day after waking the system from sleep. It looks like it's unable to support the throughput required for 2 4k displays. It also only charges iOS devices 50% of the time. It's a real pain to find my iPhone hasn't charged overnight, and is at 5% power. Quite likely I'll toss the TS3+ in the trash and just go back to everything connected the the MBP. What a waste of time and money. *Update 09/19/2018* Continued issues with screens not waking from sleep; swapped cables and still no better; then it stopped charging my MBP (had to charge from Apple power unit), and the speakers wouldn't work from the audio connection. (They worked correctly when connected directly to the MBP.) I spoke with Chad at CalDigit technical support, who was very helpful, and detailed all the issues and tests I'd done. CalDigit sent a replacement TS3+. I switched units, leaving the original power supply and cable, and now everything is working perfectly. Screens wake from sleep 100%, there are no power issues, and the speakers work properly. Looks like it was a rogue TS3 unit. Review changed to 4*. *Update 07/20/2020* Unit continues to operate mostly perfectly. There are still some issues with monitors not waking from sleep correctly, but either cycling the power (with under-monitor button) or re-setting the monitor (unplugging power cable) resolves the issue in 99% of cases. However, it's unclear whether this issue is with the TS3+ or with the monitors themselves. *Update 10/23/2023 Switched from the 2016 MacBook Pro to a 2021 Mac Mini (M1), then to a 2023 MacBoo Pro (M2). CalDigit TS3+ has performed perfectly with no issues at all across the new systems. With the exception of having to eject my backup drive I can just unplug the TS3+ and walk away with the laptop. Review changed to 5*. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase and I would replace it with another unit from CalDigit if needed.

I purchased this dock in February 2021 and would not recommend this product due to its inability to support Bluetooth peripherals and the lack of longevity for its USB ports. I don't have an exact timeline on things, but here's a breakdown of how this docking station slowly died on me: - First received. Works great! Connected Bluetooth mouse, Bluetooth keyboard, one monitor, a webcam, ethernet connection. Bought it with the intent of being able to quickly switch between my personal laptop and work laptop :) A little annoyed that I had to purchase an HDMI to displayport adapter, but I read enough reviews to know that was going to be a (fixable) issue. - First, minor sign of trouble: webcam feed was extremely buggy. My logitech webcam, connected via a USB A port, would flicker on/off consistently, very annoying. Since I didn't use my webcam too frequently, I decided to connect my webcam directly into my work laptop whenever I needed to use it. Slight inconvenience but wasn't a frequent occurrence. - Second, major sign of trouble: Bluetooth peripherals, including keyboard and mouse dongles, stopped working when connected to the docking station. When connected directly to my laptop, both items were fine, so I knew it wasn't the keyboard nor mouse. Did some troubleshooting with CalDigit and customer service said that their dock doesn't guarantee compatibility with Bluetooth peripherals. What?! That's.. strange. But ok, that's on me for not understanding its limitations. After doing my own personal troubleshooting and research, I decided to do two things: buy a USB-A hub with its own power delivery and to play with the location of the dock to see if I can lower any interference. Through trial and error, I realized the combination of both actions improved things immensely. My keyboard, mouse, and webcam were connected to my USB-A hub, which was then connected via USB-A port on the CalDigit. AND my docking station moved to reduce interference. Worked well for a long time! Again, annoyed that the USB-A ports didn't just work, but I also didn't want to spend $$ on a whole new dock at the time. The small investment in the hub ended up just buying me time. - Most recent and final of trouble: again, mouse and keyboard stopped connecting. Did basic troubleshooting. I tried plugging in the mouse and keyboard directly to my computer. Worked. I tried plugging in the mouse and keyboard back into the hub, then the hub directly into my laptop. Worked. Tried plugging the keyboard and mouse directly into different USB ports of the Caldigit. Nothing. Tried plugging in the keyboard and mouse into the hub then into all the different ports of the docking station. Nope. Tried plugging in a flash drive into my personal laptop and the computer read that. Tried plugging in the flash drive into all USB ports. Computer didn't recognize it. Figured at this point, all the USB A ports were dead :( I didn't want to buy a whole new dock, so I tried one last thing: i bought a new USB hub, but this time with a USB-C connection since, to my knowledge, all my USB-C ports were working. Got the new USB hub, plugged in all my stuff, plugged into the CalDigit, nothing. Similar process as described above; a lot of trial and error and plugging things in/out. That's when I realized my two unused USB-C ports also did not work. To tally: out of the 4 USB-C ports, 2 stopped working. out of the 5 USB-A ports, all 5 stopped working. I never used the SD card slot nor the audio ports, so I can't provide a status update on them. However, to have more than half of my USB ports stop working is awful. Shame - It's been difficult to find another docking station that had as many USB-C ports.

I'd seen this dock reviewed favorably for quite a while, and I was fed up with my old OWC dock always draining my computer's battery if it went to sleep when connected. Additionally, I wanted to resurrect/repurpose a set of DTS computer speakers that require a digital coax or optical toslink connection. This dock has fit all those needs very nicely. It is a very small form-factor, and I like the vertical orientation option. The aluminium case/heat sink seems quite effective in managing heat; it gets slightly warm in use, but nothing significant. The TOSLINK optical audio output has worked flawlessly. Only weird thing there is that every time I disconnect and reconnect my Mac, it gets assigned an ever higher increment ("Speaker", then "Speaker 1", "Speaker 2", etc) but that's hardly a big deal. The displayport has worked without a hitch as well. The included thunderbolt 3 cable seems reliable so far, which is another big plus, as I know that can be an issue with a lot of the included cables with some dock manufacturers. I have not tested the speed of the card reader yet; if it's anything less than ideal I'll update the review. Regarding sleep...that's still a little up in the air. It definitely performs better than my old OWC dock; whether the connected Mac is awake or asleep, it maintains the charge without issue. However, I have had some situations where the display won't wake back up when I wake the Mac up, especially if I turned the display off to save power (rather than just let the display sleep). Additionally, I have had the Mac crash with a "pretty" blue-ish pattern on wake recently, which is usually an indicator of a fault somewhere in the video processing. The dock was connected and monitor powered up (but sleeping) when this happened, so I can't say for sure whether it was an issue with the Mac or the display. Still, this is one occasion out of many (daily) since the time I began using this dock about 2 months ago, so I'm optimistic it was an aberration and nothing more. All in all, I definitely recommend this dock. I wish I'd bought it to start, rather than the OWC dock.

I recently purchased an Apple MacBook Pro M4 Max, and was using this dock on a Mac mini but decided to start using it for the Macbook as I could just connect 1 port and it would charge my laptop and use the display port for my monitor and use the device in clamshell mode with just connecting 1 cable!!! Unfortunately I noticed that the ethernet wasn't working. Everything else worked perfectly fine but not sure what was going on. I tried everything from CalDigit's support website but nothing so I decided to reach out to support directly. I did all the troubleshooting steps CalDigit support instructed with no success! They then asked me to provide them with proof of purchase for a warranty replacement. I bought this thing back in February of 2021 so I told them I doubt it has support/warranty and that it had served me very well for many years! I provided the information and to my surprise they offered a 1 time replacement! I have used many of CalDigits products and I love them and the quality is great, I had never dealt with their support in the past, this is my first time and they were prompt and like I said, to my shock they offered to replace it even though I bought this early 2021! They're definitely getting 5 stars from a happy customer and I will be recommending them to anyone/everyone that needs docks!
