Up to 50% off some of Macworld's favorite docks and hubs this Cyber Monday
Apple is adding more and better ports to its latest MacBooks but for true flexibility and the very best extra functionality you should consider a docking station to expand your laptop into a full top-end desktop solution.
We have tested and recommended the best Thunderbolt docks for Mac and best USB-C hubs for Mac, but now is a great time to look for deals in Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. Below we list the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on some of these docks and hubs that we have recommended as the best of the best in our reviews.
Examples of great deals include the iVanky FusionDock Max 1 (uniquely boasting two Thunderbolt 4 chips), the Wavlink Thunderbolt 4 Triple Display Docking Station (our favorite budget Thunderbolt 4 dock), the Satechi Dual Dock Stand (our best choice for Mac USB-C dock) and the CalDigit TS4 (the most powerful Thunderbolt 4 dock in our tests), as well as super hubs such as the Baseus 10Gbps USB-C Hub with 50% off its retail price. The Anker 675 is a combination monitor stand and fast USB-C dock, and has a third slashed from its MSRP.
With the main sale now here, don't delay on picking up a great deal - stocks may not last. We'll be updating this page regularly as more discounts come in.
Some Amazon deals are for Prime subscribers only, so, you need to have a subscription to the service ($14.99 / £8.99 / CA$9.99 / AU$9.99 per month or $139 / £95 / CA$99 / AU$79 per year). You can sign up for the 30-day free trial to cover the Prime-only deals.
However, there are many deals available when a subscription to Prime is not necessary and anyone can enjoy.

First we look at the best Cyber Monday dock and hub deals in the U.S. and then the best we have found available in the U.K.
Docks include a multitude of ports from USB to HDMI and Ethernet to SD card readers. Connect Mac and dock via a single cable and all these extra ports are now at your disposal. Thunderbolt 4 has a super-fast 40Gbps data-transfer rate equal to that of most Macs' own ports. They usually offer more advanced display options than USB-C docks.
USB-C docks have a lesser data-transfer rate of between 5Gbps and 10Gbps but are usually cheaper and will suit many people as well as the faster Thunderbolt docks.
Hubs offer fewer ports than full docking stations but eight strong ports may be all you require, so you could save money with one of these simple hubs.
DisplayLink is software that can help you connect more than one display to plain M1 and M2 MacBooks and also expand the external display capabilities of non-Pro/Max M3 and M4 Macs. Here are some tasty Cyber Monday deals we found on these handy docks and hubs.
Now we move across the Atlantic to the best U.K. Cyber Monday dock and hub deals this year.
