CES 2024 will be held on January 9-12 at the Las Vegas Convention and Exhibition Center in the United States, as an important exhibition for the consumer electronics industry, many well-known companies around the world will show their latest technologies and products at the exhibition. The charging head network also arrived at the CES 2024 exhibition site this time, visited and learned a lot of related product information, and this time I will report on the first lightning docking stations I saw at the exhibition site.
A docking station, also known as a port replicator, is an external device designed for laptops. By expanding the PC ports, the laptop can be conveniently connected to multiple accessories or external devices (such as power adapters, network cables, external storage, mice, external keyboards, printers, external monitors, etc.), bringing users a better computer experience.
The following is listed in alphabetical order.
CE-Link showcased a number of Thunderbolt docking stations at the show, all of which were designed to be very clever.
Most of CE-link's docking stations are silver matte design, and the appearance and texture are very attractive.
Moreover, most of these docking stations are rectangular in design, and there are many types of expansion interfaces, which can better meet the expansion needs of various users.
At the C-SmartLink booth, you will see a black Thunderbolt docking station that supports 4K** transmission.
The docking station is equipped with USB-C, USB-A, DP, network port and other interfaces, and the expandability is very good, which is a good choice for those who want to expand their high-resolution screens.
Hyper brought a variety of Thunderbolt docking stations to CES 2024, and many people watched at the scene.
Most of these docking stations support the Thunderbolt 5 and USB4 high-speed transfer protocols.
One of the silver gray square box-shaped Thunderbolt docking stations has 4 USB-C expansion ports.
A Thunderbolt 4 docking station displayed by HyperDrive is gray and black, with the "Hyper" logo printed on the surface, and it is equipped with 1 main Thunderbolt 4 interface on the black interface surface, which supports PD 96W fast charging, and 2 Thunderbolt 4 interfaces, both of which support 40Gbps data transmission, as well as HDMI21 port, 4 USB-A ports, 1 SD bayone, 1 LAN port and 1 35mm headphone jack.
In addition to the regular flat docking station, Hyper also has a vertical design docking station.
HyperDrive This Thunderbolt 5 docking station, with a black stripe design, has 3 4K144HZ** transmission ports, 3 Thunderbolt 5 high-speed data interfaces, 2 80Gbps data transmission bandwidth, and also supports SSD hard disks, up to 140W PD31. Charging, etc., the function is very powerful.
The Hyper docking station also has its own USB-C high-speed transmission data cable design, which can be embedded in the docking station by relying on the clip, which is very convenient for storage.
A number of Thunderbolt docking stations with different designs were also found at the J5create booth.
These docking stations are square, rectangular, and resembling small consoles.
The docking station showcased by J5Create supports USB4 high-speed transmission, which is very friendly for people who need a lot of data transfer between devices every day.
The Thunderbolt docking station launched by J5Create has a square box shape, with a circular protrusion at the top, supports 15W wireless fast charging, and has rich expandable interfaces around it, making it very convenient for daily use.
The dock also supports PD31 140W ultra-high power charging, when using the expansion function, can make the notebook quickly rejuvenated.
J5Create also has a Thunderbolt 4 docking station that does not support wireless charging, and the interface configuration is basically the same as that of the wireless charging model.
This docking station supports 4K** transmission, which is suitable for expanding image quality.
The docking station presented by Targus at CES 2024, compact in size, with a twill design on the surface, with true universal docking station compatibility with DisplayLink technology, via HDMI 14B supports single 2K or dual HD**.
The dock has 1 USB-C port (power input only) with support for up to 80W PD fast charging, and 2 USB-A 32 Gen 2 ports and 1 USB-C 3The 2Gen 2 port supports 10Gbps data transmission, 1 RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port, and the integrated lock slot can accommodate standard security locks to protect the device.
When you come to the ugreen display area, you will also find a lot of multi-functional, high-performance thunderbolt docking stations.
Ugreen showcased a 13-in-1 multi-function Thunderbolt docking station with 1 circular light button on the body, 2 Thunderbolt 4 ports that support high data transfer rates, and a USB-C port that supports PD 90W fast charging.
I also saw a 12-in-1 docking station with 2 USB-A ports, 2 USB-C ports, 1 DP port, 2 HDMI ports, and 1 LAN port.
ugreen also has a 9-in-1 thunderbolt docking station on site, the interface configuration is also very rich, and there are triangular heat dissipation holes on both sides, making the use experience more stable.
At CES 2024, I witnessed the latest docking station products, many of which are equipped with the latest Thunderbolt 5 and USB4 technology, and also support PD31 140W ultra-high power fast charging, as well as 4K HD** transmission and other functions. Domestic manufacturers such as Greenlink, Xulian, and Haineng displayed many products at the exhibition, which benefited a lot, and it can be seen that the influence of domestic consumer electronics products in foreign markets continues to expand. The charging head network will continue to pay attention to the docking station products and introduce interesting products to everyone.
