Belkin ThunderBolt 3 Mini Dock nice and compact
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice small compact dock used for newer MacBook Pros. Very small and lightweight and easy to connect to multiple devices without fail.

Great device
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Belkin ThunderBolt 3 Mini Dock is the perfect solution for my MacBook Pro. I often have to connect several different devices to my MacBook. It doesn't have enough connections for all of my devices and external monitor. The Mini Dock allows for multiple different devices to be connected into the dock.....then one cable connects into my MacBook. I didn't have to figure out how it works - you just plug your devices into the dock, then connect the cable into your MacBook. Great device!

Works well but gets glitchy after a while
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as advertised. I use it for two 4k monitors to extend laptop, a usb webcam and usb jabra speaker. It works well but off late has started to get very warm, the screens get wobbly and turn off. Surely for low load, on the road purposes only

Works great - Dual Monitors
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Mini Dock works great. I am driving two 4K 27" monitors and gigabit internet through this device. There were no drivers needed; it worked right out of the box. Windows will ask for permission to use the device, so be sure to approve it. The video quality is outstanding and my wireless keyboard and mouse work flawlessly. The only device that I could not get work was my headset. I had the same issues with another docking station with the same headset.

It was just ok - a bit disappointing.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was very excited to get this Docking Station - I recently purchased an off brand docking station to use with my LG Gram and my older MacBook Air, and wasn’t happy with how they worked with it. That being said, I was excited for this Belkin Docking Station - I’ve had other Belkin products in the past and was very happy with them. Unfortunately, I feel like this “docking station” was a bit lacking as a docking station. I was disappointed to see that it would only had a USB-C connector, which made it unusable with my MacBook Air without additional cable or converters. In addition, once I plugged in my keyboard and mouse, I was pretty much out of ports. I did get it all connected to my LG Gram and it worked well - but overall, I was disappointed by the lack of ports, but maybe I should have tempered my expectations of a mini docking station. Lesson learned.

Mini station equals mini USB
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was a bit disappointed when I discovered I needed a mini-USB port in order to connect this to my laptop. My work laptop doesn't have one and my whole intention of using this product was to ditch my docking station for it so I don't want to go out and get a converter to make this work as a solution for me. My personal laptop does have the needed port so I tried testing it with that instead only to discover this laptop doesn't support the device either, even though it has the needed port. The product is compact and would probably be great if it worked with my equipment. Just be sure you have the needed port and that your laptop has the needed functionality before purchasing.

Does exactly what it is supposed to do
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great little mini dock for a laptop. You need the usb c port to use this. Attached monitor looks and performs as expected. Fast refresh. Great little add on for expanding your connections.

Stopped working properly
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this device for almost a year. It was great at first but after about 9 months, one of the USB ports stopped working.

Posted .Hi, Sam50816,
The Belkin F4U098 Thunderbolt 3 Dock Mini HD should work longer than described. You can try to connect a different device to the USB port for isolation. For further assistance, please reach out to us at BelkinCares@belkin.com, and share more details with the link to this review for our reference.

Alarmingly hot. Painful to touch.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own and have used many Belkin products. However, I do not recommend the Thunderbolt 3 Mini Dock with Dual HDMI. It gets alarmingly hot. It's actually painful to touch. I understand that aluminum is supposed to dissipate heat, but this is twice as hot as any dock or external drive I've ever owned. I'm very concerned about the longevity of this dock. Perhaps my unit isn't functioning properly. The Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Dock Core is about $30 more, with better venting and is only warm to the touch.

Just plug it in and it works
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This replaces a similar Caldigit unit which failed. Connect it to your macbook, plug in 2 monitors, keyboard,and mouse and you have a perfect WFH setup. No need for drivers or setup program. IOS instantly recognizes it and enables it.
