Here’s the key to expanding MacBook connectivity [Setups]

A multiport USB-C hub or docking station greatly expands connectivity with peripherals like monitors and storage drives.
An iOS and macOS developer runs his M1 Max MacBook Pro through an OWC Thunderbolt 4 dock, connecting the laptop to various peripherals.
Many laptop owners wish for more ports, but a hub or dock brings more (and more variety) that often provides power.
The OWC Thunderbolt 4 dock offers a nice array of ports along with Thunderbolt 4's blazing-fast data transfer speeds.
Thunderbolt docks and hubs let you plug all sorts of peripherals into your laptop, broadening connectivity and functionality.
The Thunderbolt 3 and 4 docks provide blazing-fast data transfer speeds compared to basic USB-C, which makes quick work of transferring even huge files like videos.
The OWC Thunderbolt 4 dock connects to a 34-inch Alienware Curved Gaming Display with a 120Hz refresh rate and other peripherals.
Apple silicon MacBooks like the M1 Max MacBook Pro doesn’t boast a ton of ports, or a big variety of them.
Syn using a substantial Thunderbolt 4 dock, but even a simpler USB-C hub from a maker like Satechi, Plugable or OWC can be helpful.
If you would like to see your setup featured on Cult of Mac, send some high-res pictures to [email protected].
