Hello everyone,
I’m sorry if the question has already been answered, but I’ve been researching this for hours at this point without finding something that will work, so I ask for your help
I’ll replace my 2018 Mac mini with a 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro next week, and I’m looking for a Thunderbolt dock
I’d like to have everything connect with one cable if possible. Here’s what I’m looking for:
So yeah, it needs to have at least these ports, I think I could manage the rest with my monitor's hub
Preferably under 200€, but I could stretch my budget a bit
For the time being, I saw these two that I think do work (I asked ChatGPT tbh), but there's a BIG price difference lol:
57€ i-tec Thunderbolt 3
344€ Satechi 11 in 1 TB4 Dock
The i-tec is a used one, plus there's only one left
So I'd gladly take your advice if one of you happens to use one that matches the minimum requirement that I have
Thanks to anyone who will take the time to help me!

I’d like to have everything connect with one cable if possible. Here’s what I’m looking for:
- A dock that supports dual EXTENDED monitor (without using the internal screen, the Mac will be in clamshell mode), both monitors are 1440p 120Hz, one has DP 1.4 and HDMI 2.1, while the other has DP 1.2 and HDMI 2.0
- Charging the Mac at 67W at least
- Have Ethernet
- Have an audio jack (ideally, if it doesn’t, it’s okay, I can plug my speakers into one of my monitors even tho it requires a proxy audio device to be able to control the volume with the keyboard)
- Have at least two USB-C 10 Gbps
- Two 2K 120Hz monitors in extended mode (one has DP 1.4 & HDMI 2.1, one has DP 1.2 & HDMI 2.0)
- The 10Gbits USB-C hub of my monitor (that has itself 2 10G Type A on the back, and 1 Type A & 1 Type C on the bottom)
- USB-A Keyboard and mouse (that could be plugged into a USB hub on one of the USB ports of the monitor)
- USB-A 5Gbps External HDD
- USB-C 10Gbps External NVMe
- Speaker via jack (but that could be plugged into one of the monitors)
- Ethernet
- My iPhone via USB-C
So yeah, it needs to have at least these ports, I think I could manage the rest with my monitor's hub
- 3 USB-C (two have to be 10GBits)
- two DP/HDMI (or additional Type-C that would support DP, I have two DP to USB-C cables that I already use to connect my monitor to my Mac mini.
- Ethernet
Preferably under 200€, but I could stretch my budget a bit
