Thunderbolt docks have become an increasingly useful way to turn a laptop into the centre of a desktop setup, but Thunderbolt 5 significantly raises the ceiling on what a single connection can handle.
The WAVLINK PuraDockM Thunderbolt 5 Multifunctional Docking Station is built to take advantage of that extra bandwidth, combining extensive connectivity, high-resolution display support and laptop charging in a single desktop hub.
There’s also an interesting extra hiding underneath: an integrated M.2 NVMe slot. Add your own SSD and the PuraDockM can provide high-speed storage alongside all that connectivity, potentially eliminating another enclosure, cable and device from your desk.
Of course, impressive specifications don’t necessarily make a good dock — particularly when real-world performance can depend heavily on the computer you connect to it.
Lee takes a closer look at the WAVLINK PuraDockM in our video review, including its connectivity, NVMe storage, performance and display capabilities.
It is available on Amazon for A$491.81, and at the time of publishing there is a 30% coupon available.
