I gave up using my overpowered Dell that I always have issues with and back to using my 1 star Vava from many years ago that does the job - I use two monitors , one uses hdmi port on my machine and other uses the one on the Vava - I know its crap but every docking station flakes out on me for one reason or the other - I have a Lenovo docking station and it does not even work well with my Lenovo laptop

I feel your pain. Seems like since they stopped actually "docking", reliability is utter crap, regardless of the manufacturer involved.

Just ordered the current one.. wish I'd seen the other 2 months ago... all I need is what this one provides, but wouldn't have minded the extras on the other.

When I was researching the larger one I came across the thunderbolt subreddit and people where saying that thunderbolt hubs with one "in" and three "Outs" like this one where the best since they uses a good Intel thunderbolt chip or something along those lines. Thunderbolt 3 and 4 are different in how the manage splitting the bandwidth and for some used cases 3 is preferred to 4. I just got this one by using the buy 3 items get 30% off. This plus two sticky notes for $32 out the door
Thank you for the heads up. That one was a steal, tbh, for the same price. This one is missing: hdmi, rj45, 2x usb-a, 3.5mm audio jack, sd card slot. It's not a bad price if you need one now and if it fits your use case.
"Output of 20V/5A"Great way to pitch "input of 20V/5A required - hence the massive power brick."Got the old one, hope we get a bus powered one eventually.
You won't find any bus-powered TB4 (40Gbps) hubs due to power requirement. You can find plenty of bus-powered USB hubs that do 5 to 10Gbps online for $10-$20.
