Recommend Plugable! I have been using a Plugable USB-3 7-port hub in my VW campervan for about 8 years with no trouble! It has been a rock solid performer throughout the heat, dust, vibration and humidity of New Mexico. Runs directly from the DC auxiliary system which can hit almost 15v from the solar panels, but has never burned out from overvoltage. Every port still works but now USB-C adapters are adding to its footprint in an already crowded van. Very impressed with it and when I do upgrade to USB-C I'll definitely be getting a Plugable hub.

I have so many computers I would greatly benefit from a dock. Mainly though it would be to make my Mac mini more usable, either when connected to my main display or one of my portable displays if in using it alongside my PC.

Currently have 72 tabs open between 5 different windows. With a Plugable Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 Hub, I would continue to pursue my passion for opening tabs and never revisiting them, without sacrificing memory or processing.

The dock would help with cable management and declutter my desk which I use for both work and gaming. Having the ability to use multiple monitors easily with my desktop and work laptop is a plus.

I have way too many cables. Me and my husband both play pc games, two instances of the game on one monitor. Would be cool to be able to connect another monitor so we both have our own screen.

Two people means two keyboards, two mouses, and two controllers. So many cables.

Hi ... Im art student from Slovakia and I'd love to utilize the ability to to use more projectors from single laptop instead of having multiple laptop setup for artwork installations.

I'd also love to get some advice too since I recently got the old 7x usb hub but Im having trouble getting it to work with displays ... my assumption is that the 3rd party usb 3 to VGA adapters Im using could be the issue. But could be the win 10/11 issue too since I only seen it with win 7/8

Thx for help and prize in the case I win

This would be better than my current Plugable UD-3900 dock and it would allow for maximum entertainment. DVI on the UD-3900 is ok but I need more HDMI and thunderbolt ports!

A 5 monitor set up would be 3 externals and the laptop for my work station and then an HDMI to my TV for the sweet 4K @60hz

Its simple one cable solution to my laptop would make it so easy to unplug and and be mobile when being home is just not an option.

I like my UD-3900 and I know that I would LOVE a new TBT4-UDZ.

Plus I could talk about it on the live shopping show I host every weekday like I do with my current Plugable device!

Good luck everyone! I am excited to hopefully win and review this amazing Plugable TBT4-UDZ!
